Mesmerizing: Popping Bubbles In Ultra Slow-Motion
This is a video from the Slow Mo Guys (sad fact: my friends in high school used to call me Slow-Mo but not in a good way) of soap bubbles being popping and filmed at 18,000 frames per second.

I taught Business Information Technology 2405: Quantitative Methods. Bonus sad fact: I actually failed the course the first time I took it. Still, my students loved me. Plus when I had to hold office hours for them to come ask me questions before a test I'd just sit in there with the door locked playing Counter-Strike on my laptop.
Hit the jump for the video and make sure to watch it in high-def otherwise you might as well just poke yourself in the eyes with a stick.
Thanks to Fally, who's used one of those bubble wands before to make those giaaaaaant bubbles. Dammit, I had the chance to do that once but my little sister kicked dirt in the soap water and then it wouldn't work.

This is a video of somebody's grandpa blowing giant-ass bubbles on the beach and them popping in slow motion. It's mesmerizing. I mean, come on -- who doesn't love bubbles? Exactly, only devil worshipers and Bubble Boy. Anyway, I assume this is some sort of viral ad for Can... / Continue →

This is a video of a hedgehog, rat, dog and human shaking water off their bodies, shot in super slow motion. The hedgehog and the rat are the best, the dog is okay, and why did they even bother filming a human? I would have preferred to see any other animal. Speaking of -- d... / Continue →
