One clever person decided to intermix footage of the recent revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia of “Pale Blue Dot” to give an entirely different and immediate feeling to Carl Sagan’s classic narration. Very well done. We have featured Carl Sagan’s awesome narration before in those NASA videos, but if you don’t know who Carl Sagan is then google him and read about a genius.

Adventure seekers and travelers have long photographed their surroundings to serve as inspiration and to retain nostalgia. The cameras used have adapted and changed as much as the scenery they intend to capture. In no one camera is the evolution of this notion seen as clearly as with the Olympus Tough TG-810 ($400). The 14 megapixel camera is not only waterproof, freezeproof, shockproof and crushproof, but dripping with advanced features like: GPS, Electronic Compass and Manometer for detailed tagging; HD video capture with HDMI Control; 3D Photo Mode that captures two shots to create a 3D effect, even underwater; Eye-Fi card compatibility for automatic wireless uploading of images; advanced AF tracking to keep your adventure subjects nice and crisp; and in-camera filters and panorama abilities. Long story short, you’re looking at one of the finest new adventure photography tools out there. You can buy it now here for $400.

We found the secret to Charlie Sheen’s endless win streak: Tiger’s blood and Adonis DNA have been hacked, and the recipe is below.

A take on the traditional Bloody Mary, this cocktail was created by the mixologists at the Moroccan restaurant Fifty Five in New York City. And just like Sheen himself, the cocktail is extremely potent. Besides the Bragg Aminos to give you a protein energy kick, there’s heat from ginger, chili peppers, wasabi, and two types of radish. The Glenmorangie Sherry provides the punch, while the olive juice, citrus and balsamic vinegar kick in some high-end flavor. So grab your Goddesses, mix up a few glasses, and prepare yourself for some winning.

Recipe is below, it is friggen gnarley gnarlington

So 2011 marks the 20th anniversary for the best pirate movie ever made, Hook, which included Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, and Julia Roberts. I don’t care how many Pirates of the Caribbean they come out with, none will be better then Hook starring the ever so awesome Lost Boys. The whole movie is bad ass from start to finish, especially the dinner scene at the table, with the food fight and Pan and Rufio going back and forth with insults. Everyone knows these things about the movie, but here are 13 things you probably didn’t know, Bang-a-ranggggggggggggggg.

I should just start naming crib of the week, Guz architecture residence of the week, because this is the third time I have picked a house from the amazing architecture firm based out of Singapore. This week we are gong to dive into the Cluny house, bringing the rainforest into your home (click images to enlarge to really see the detail of the residence.). Description from Guz Architects:

The project demonstrates how technology, planning and design can be applied sensitively to generate a comfortable, luxurious, yet sustainable family home.

Photovoltaic cells and solar water heaters are employed together with design for passive cooling and cross ventilation to reduce energy usage. Irrigation tanks and roof gardens collect and recycle rainwater; and the use of materials such as recycled teak and artificial timber adds warmth without compromising the finite resources of our environment.

So here is the most terrifying thing but at the same time the most gnarliest thing you will see all day. It is a first person helmet cam view of a biker in the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo race in Chile. It’s some pretty amazing footage, and even more amazing that the rider manages to make it down all those steps and jumps without crashing (even when a dog runs out in front of him).

I get how some people like drugs, they make you feel better for short periods of time, that’s fine and dandy, but why anyone does meth is beyond me, it pretty much turns your face into the bitter beer face guy’s and you get red marks all over, what they are I don’t know I am not a dermatologist but they are gross. Here is an extensive look at normal looking people destroyed by meth in a short time. Don’t do drugs kids, just drink alcohol and party like a rockstar, no drugs though.

Here is an awesome photography set depicting our world in soap bubbles. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about the photographer who put these together so I apologize but it is definitely rad stuff. I was also going to label the location of each bubble, but quickly realized my geography skills aren’t as good as i thought they were. Some noticeable locations are Chicago, D.C., New York, among many others. I don’t know why they didn’t include my beloved home state of New Jersey, maybe the soap bubbles wouldn’t last more than .3 seconds in the polluted air, or maybe that back drop of run down factories and fist pumping guidos wasn’t to appeasing to the eye.
