According to the uploader one of the big garbage bins caught fire on Mubarak Al Kabeer street at around 10p.m yesterday. No idea how the bin reached the street or how it got engulfed with fire. It seems we’re having something big burning every other week, I don’t see a solution to this problem taking place any time soon unfortunately.

Not sure whether this video is fake or not because he reaches his hand before the flash but definitely the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. Was expecting him to freak out and end up in a car crash but it was more like “Oh, just a huge flaming ball falling from the sky”. For those living under a rock, meteorite did fall from the sky in Russia recently causing more than 1,200 injuries.

You must see the video before reading the text, because this is kind of a spoiler. I’ve always been a fan of illusions and this guy has managed to have a ton all in one spot. I kind of felt there was something fishy because some objects were out of focus, not sure if that was deliberate. One can read about my favorite illusion so far [here] .

It was bad enough when the useless machine was first introduced and got really popular a while back. It was basically a box with a switch, when it goes on a stick appears and switches it off. Someone wanted to get more creative in a useless way and added a whole bunch of switches. The only way forward is to make a new Guinness record.

The ability to watch 3D videos on a 2D screen isn’t that easy, I tried it and got dizzy on the process. YouTube has an option where it lets you cross your eyes to see the video in 3D. On the video below enable 3D, then goto options and click on Red/Cyan, now click on no glasses as your viewing mode. Try focusing each eye on a white dot.

Conan O’Brian wanted to challenge Felix Baumgartner by having a guy on stage perform the world’s shortest free fall, which lasted for 6 milliseconds. Luckily he survived and no one was hurt during this daredevil attempt to break the world record of the shortest free fall jump. At least this time we got to see the actual fall in close up.

حتى اكثر الناس انشغالا يماطلون دون ان يشعروا بذلك. كلنا نماطل دون ان يكون لدينا جواب لائق لذلك. هذا الفيديو يقسم المماطلة و يشرح كيف اننا نرى العمل الواجب اتمامه في وقت اخر اقل مكافأة لنا. الحل يكون مزيجا من المواعيد المحددة الحازمة و التفاؤل. اعتقد اين بحاجة لدفع نفسي اكثر.

Even the busiest people procrastinate without noticing. We all do it but don’t really have a decent answer behind it. This video breaks down procrastination and explains how the further the task is from today the less we feel rewarded. The solution is a mix of costly deadlines and optimism. Guess I need to motivate myself more.
