Oh man, Simon just shared this crazy video of a Dodge Viper trying to weave through traffic, only to come out of a dark tunnel into the sunlight and crash into a van. Sucks to be you with all the money. [via]

As always, The Big Picture does an incredible job of posting relevant images pertaining to a major news event, in this case, the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
They have a large image of The Falling Man, an iconic image taken by Richard Drew that inspired a documentary film (posted previously), as well as a number of amazing photos of Ground Zero then and now.
The image above shows Ground Zero on October 4, 2001.
Burning Car by Superflex
August 17, 2009 @ 8:44 pm
I watched Burning Car for the first time today and was impressed by how such a simple video can capture my attention for such an extended period of time. The 10-minute film is a film by Superflex produced in 2008 by Propeller Group.
In the 10-minute video, the old Mercedes-Benz can be seen engulfed in flames with its paint bubbling and falling off. The video is beautiful and I could easily see this on some big screen somewhere playing in an infinite loop. Superflex actually had the entire video in HD on a torrent, but I just tried and it looks like the torrent is pretty much dead. It’s a shame because I would love to download this film in HD. Anybody have a direct link?
You can watch the entire film below.

Jamie McMurray drifts in NASCAR race

I’m pretty much the only person I know who cares about this sort of stuff, but check out this video of NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray drifting in his car on Sunday’s Shelby 427 race at Las Vegas. If NASCAR drivers drifted more often, I’d probably tune in for more than 3 minutes before changing the channel.
