Trollers with Strollers

Weekend Plans
Two jokers named Riegel and Blatt put together this music video/tutorial conglom explaining how to cruise the scene and "meet people"... but it's not what you think. A semi-novel and amusing (but unfortunately a little too truthful) rip on what your life can become.

The Art of Creating Creatures
The innovative vision of a kinetic sculptor who creates exquisitely engineered wind-powered "animals" that roam beaches. Dutch artist Theo Jansen demonstrates his amazingly lifelike kinetic sculptures, built from plastic tubes and lemonade bottles. His "Strandbeests" (Beach Creatures) are built to move and even survive on their own.

Like A Bird on a Wire
A clip from a documentary entitled "Straight Up" with men being transported by helicopter, then working on live power cables carrying more than half a million volts. To quote one high voltage cable inspector, "There's only three things I've ever been afraid of..." Major league huevos, to be sure.
