The Drunken Recount of Superman’s Death and Resurrection
From nerdapproved.com:
If you’ve ever wanted to see a film version of death and resurrection of Superman as told by the 1992 DC Comic, this may be the closest you’ll ever get.
Max Landis, son of famed Animal House director John Landis, has created this live-action, drunken short film entitled “The Death and Return of Superman”, which mocks the concept of the story and stars Mandy Moore as Lois Lane, Elijah Wood as Hank Henshaw and Simon Pegg as John Landis (among other surprises).
This had me in tears. Tears! The cameos are awesome.
Head’s up on language and some NSFW-ish scenes.

High Speed Video of Canon DSLR Shutter
Here’s a great video showing the mirror and shutter mechanism in a Canon DSLR. The action begins 60 seconds in.
Keep in mind that the entire real-time duration of the mirror swinging up, the shutter coming down, the exposure, the shutter coming back up and the mirror swinging down is .213 seconds.
Great find, Tom!
Glass Harp
Ever since I was introduced to wine glasses and champagne flutes, I’ve always tried to make them sing a tone (maybe after a few drinks).
The Glass Duo takes this up a magnitude. I didn’t even realize this was a thing until I saw this on YouTube and saw the great swathes of related videos.
Awesome stuff.

I’m a sucker for elaborate contraptions—especially ones that involve themes that are near and dear to my heart.
Enjoy!

Great use of technology, timing, and sleight of hand, though I wouldn’t exactly label it as “magic.”
