        An Amazing Hockey Move.

        I don't care of this nine-year old boy can ever make this shot again, he did it once and it's awesome! It's even more incredible in slow motion.

        Video: The making of a magazine cover.

        Great time-lapse movie of the making of a Macworld cover from start to finish. A 40-hour process shown in three minutes.

        Slow motion lightning

        Awesome. Just when you think it's died down, you get a final crack that hits the ground. 

        The "movie" is actually an animated GIF, which always runs and slowed down my page loading, so please go see it here

        Volcano Lava Flows

        Yet another reminder of the power of nature. Amazing that these are rivers of melted rock.

        Serious hammer skills. With juggling, no less.

        Not in English, but it doesn't matter. Guy pounds in a nail with juggling hammers. I don't want to appear too impressed (since I barely even know which end of a hammer to hold), but it's pretty fun to watch.

        Rooftop Gardens: The Sky Is Green

        "The rooftop garden at St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo is an example of perfection in garden planning, execution and maintenance."

        Quite a few more at the above link. If the roof can handle the weight, why not go green instead of just housing the A/C units up there? What a great way to utilize the footprint taken up by the building.

        Humorous real-life Twitter

        Funny stuff. Yep, the average tweet looks pretty ridiculous in a real life setting.

        A beautiful display of sand animation

        I love to watch artists ply their craft, and this is an impressive performance.

        But beyond the artistry, it's beautiful and sad at the same time. After a minute I forgot about the talent she possesses, and was focused only on the work. That's what the best artists can do.

        Best. Speedbump. Ever.

        I hate the things, but this is funny. Not in English, but you won't need a translation.

        This is an amazing soccer goal. I had to watch it a few times just to convince myself he actually pulled it off.
