Recently on Boing Boing Video: bacon and animated childhood fantasies.
Above, we learned how to fashion a thermic lance from prosciutto, "an engineering-grade form of bacon," capable of cutting steel. Also, a vegan version of this lethal device fashioned from cucumbers and breadsticks. PopSci columnist Theo Gray invented the device, and as the YouTube editors who spotlighted this episode said, "Fire plus bacon equals delicious, delicious thermodynamics." There's more madness like this in Theo's new book, MAD SCIENCE, which I blogged about here. Original video blog post is here. You can download an MP4 here.
Also last week, we debuted another animated short from the PSST! 3 Film series — OMAR / HOT PURSUIT / SEARCH. Like the previous shorts we've featured from PSST! project, this one's the result of a collaboration between three teams of animators. In this one: part 1, A Victorian-sepia-dream in which a child fishes for kite-creatures in the sky, and is lifted on an incredible aerial adventure. Part 2, a Google Maps bad guy car chase drama interlude, with cops and robbers. Part 3, A child creates the magical superflat universe of which he dreams. Original video blog post is here. And an MP4 Download is here.
