WiX Working Group video of the week, blocks of war.

Sunday, 30. October 2011 at 11:07 pm

What do you get when you combine Lego’s and Gears of War? Blocks of War, of course. Heath found this one and it is really impressive. I wonder if Traveller’s Tales would ever make this for the Xbox?

WiX Working Group video of the week, liquid nitrogen quantum magic.

Saturday, 22. October 2011 at 8:03 pm

I mentioned a fun weekend project called Smashfest 2011 in my last blog entry. Liquid nitrogen provided quite a bit of amusement by allowing us to smash objects that wouldn’t normally smash. Like a marshmallow. I also asked for your videos last week and my lead sent me a video that is simply amazing. Check out how liquid nitrogen can expose the magic of quantum physics. Mind blowing.

WiX Working Group video of the week, making fun of David Blaine.

Monday, 17. October 2011 at 2:36 pm

This week’s video was sent to me by Heath. It’s an old video that pokes fun at the street magician David Blaine. It’s kinda’ funny but I’m curious if you can find better. If you think so, feel free to email me videos that you think should be shown at the WiX Working Group to "wixvideo at robmensching.com". On with the video for this week.

WiX Working Group video, ECS US Open Cup 2011 tifo.

Thursday, 13. October 2011 at 5:50 pm

Tuesday night, K organized a huge group of us to go to see the US Open Cup Final. The Sounders FC played Chicago Fire. Peter Marcu was there with me and my parents for their first live soccer match. The atmosphere was incredible and tonight’s video comes from the maestro’s of that mayhem, the Emerald City Supports (ECS). This is definitely one of their top performances.

WiX Working Group Video of the Week, big blue ball machine.

Thursday, 29. September 2011 at 6:14 pm

Last week Heath was disappointed I showed the past’s view of the future instead of something "funny". So I picked a video this week that is the tip of an iceberg full of videos geeks will love. I had never heard of freddiew and somehow accidentally tripped across his crew on YouTube. Check this out.

WiX Working Group video of the week, the future is now.

Friday, 16. September 2011 at 6:14 am

Given all the excitement around Windows 8 and I thought I’d dig out this video about the future. We continue the trend of interesting advertisements (boot parachute last week and birds angry in real life before that). These come from 1993 (almost 20 years ago!) and are eerily prescient.

WiX Working Group video of the week, boot parachute double feature.

Wednesday, 14. September 2011 at 6:14 am

Tonight I brought a double feature. You can’t really watch the first video without watching the second so I decided to show both. This is another commercial video and like the last one, birds angry in real life, it’s pretty cool. Watch ‘em both!

WiX Working Group video of the week, toy car races.

Thursday, 8. September 2011 at 7:38 am

I know I did a miniatures video a couple weeks ago but this one is different. Instead of being tiny scaled reality, this is an all out assault on the senses. I love the noise and the constant movement everywhere. I love seeing the people crawling all about the structure. That looks like fun.
