Random End Of Days?

When it finally happens, I imagine the Apocalypse will look something like this...



Sadly, these are real pictures of something that just happened...



Hopefully this isn't the beginning of the end. I got shit to do!

When all hell breaks loose: Lightning tears the sky apart above the glow of the Chilean volcano
Flames reach up to the heavens as lightning flashes criss-cross the sky. These extraordinary images show the full force of Mother Nature as a Chilean volcano erupts for the first time in 50 years. Ash has been thrown six miles up into the sky and the South American government has ordered the evacuation of thousands of residents. Winds fanned the ash toward neighbouring Argentina, darkening the sky in the ski resort city of San Carlos de Bariloche, in the centre of the country, and its airport has also been closed. The eruption in the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic chain, about 575 miles south of the capital, Santiago, also prompted authorities to close a busy border crossing into Argentina. It was not immediately clear which of the chain's four volcanoes had erupted because of ash cover and weather conditions. The chain last saw a major eruption in 1960. READ MORE

Time-Lapse Milky Way Video Captures Nature From A Unique Perspective (HD VIDEO)
This time-lapse video of the Milky Way will blow your mind. Terje Sorgjerd is on a roll. After capturing some amazing footage of the Aurora Borealis recently (though not the famous footage out of the plane window) he's back with this incredible video that looks like something out of Planet Earth. His time-lapse shots of the Milky Way show a stunning sky, backlit with an incredible aura. It really makes you feel small, and in awe of the universe. The time-lapse footage was captured between April 4th and 11th, 2011, from atop El Teide, Spain's highest mountain. At one point a sandstorm blows across, which rendered Sorgjerd unable to see the sky, but left his camera with some stunning images.

Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2 is the eighth studio album by the Beastie Boys. It was originally planned for release on September 15, 2009 under the title Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1, but was delayed after band member Adam "MCA" Yauch was diagnosed with cancer. The album was previously known by the working title Tadlock's Glasses. "Too Many Rappers", featuring Nas, was released as the album's first single in July 2009. It peaked at #93 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the Beastie Boys' first single in five years to chart on the Hot 100; the last time being "Ch-Check It Out" in 2004 that peaked at #68. "Too Many Rappers" has also been nominated for a Grammy Award, Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The next single, "Make Some Noise" will be released as a download on April 11, 2011 and five days later as 7" vinyl single for Record Store Day. READ MORE

Inside Egypt's Facebook Revolt
After hundreds of arrests in Cairo Wednesday, some protest organizers have gone missing and are presumed jailed. Now activists are using Egypt’s oldest social medium to keep up the fight.
In the days leading up to this week’s street protests in Egypt, the largest the country has seen since the 1970s, Ahmed Salah was busy spreading the word around Cairo—“in every possible way,” as he put it. A veteran activist who said agitation is his genes, Salah, 45, tapped into his usual network, called family and friends, hit the streets, and posted updates on the Web. “On the 25th, we are trying to give people a bit of hope, and a chance to express themselves,” he said in a phone interview last week. But he said the regime would fight back. Salah had been pulled from demonstrations and arrested in the past. He’d been blindfolded and beaten by police, he said, and staged a hunger strike in jail. He calmly predicted that, this time around, an even worse fate might be in store. “I’m already a burned card. No matter what I do, it’s all the same now,” he said. “We’re all in danger. If I get arrested again, I’m sure I will not come out alive.” READ MORE

Lightning and fire: Japan on alert after volcano's biggest eruption in 50 years
A one-mile cordon has been established around a volcano on Mount Kirishima after it erupted scattering rocks and ash across southern Japan and sending smoke billowing 5,000ft into the air. The Meteorological Agency raised the volcanic alert to level 3 as ash today continued to spew from Shinmoedake on Japan's southernmost main island of Kyushu, and residents have been banned from going within a mile of the volcano following its worst eruption in 50 years. Agency volcanologist Sei Iijima said the eruption did not pose a threat to nearby cities, and a major eruption was not imminent. But he added: 'You can never say never with a volcano, although the lack of magma movement beneath the surface leads us to believe that this activity won't lead to a large-scale eruption,' he told ABC News.

Random Motorola Xoom

In a 2009 meeting at work I predicted everyone would have one device...



The question posed was "Where is all of this going?" (in terms of the web world and how my company fit into it all) and I responded by describing essentially the Motorola Xoom. A one stop device that housed everything you would need (aside from food, human contact, all that other stuff). It will be able to show your email, news feeds, face-to-face phone calls, movies and all that other good stuff, I said... Looking back, I'd say I was right!

The Tree of Life is an upcoming American film written and directed by Terrence Malick starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. Details of the plot released by sources involved in the production have been minimal. It is described as a 1950s period piece. The first official description of the film emerged from foreign sales agent Summit Entertainment's official website on September 21, 2008, in the form of a thematic summary of the film, describing it as the tale of a Texan boy's journey from the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as a "lost soul in the modern world", and his quest to regain meaning in life.

Cîroc is a brand of distilled beverage manufactured in France and marketed as a vodka. It is claimed by the drink's promoters that it distinguished from other vodkas by the fact that it is derived from grapes, in contrast to corn, sorghum, rye, wheat, or potatoes that are more commonly used. Because the product is distilled at 96% and is not aged, it fulfills the qualities of a vodka. READ MORE

His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit. After he found a camera in the Paris subway, he did a tour of European Street Art, tracking the people who communicate messages via the walls. Then, he started to work on the vertical limits, watching the people and the passage of life from the forbidden undergrounds and roofs of the capital. READ MORE
