not poodles

Ciao,

A presumably crappy insta-noodle brand spoofs the Guinness ad in this creative piece. They'd sell a lot more health food if they had advertising like this detritus.

I Love Noodles
Also on the noodle front, two guys competing to see who loves noodles the most in this animated short. Beautiful and moving and can you see where this is going? Caution: a little rough (i.e., adult) right at the end.

Trippy photos
HDR photography allows several levels of exposure in the same photo -- so that the bright bits are as visible as the shadows. (Since I don’t personally operate cameras, I wasn’t aware of this.) You can do this yourself by combining several pictures in Photoshop, or by using specialist equipment. If you try either method -- or neither, like I will -- the results can be absolutely stunning.

BigDog
Boston Dynamics claims its BigDog is "the most advanced quadruped robot on Earth," and if you watch this new video of the mechanical pack mule handling rough terrain and ice with remarkable agility, you'll be hard pressed to disagree. Someday we'll all be riding these to work.
