YouTube Now Streams “Sideshow” In High Definition!
Posted by Bradley under Art, Movies, Personal, Technology
YouTube is now offering a “Watch in HD” option for videos that were originally uploaded from an HD source.
Previously, the link read “Watch in High Quality” which really wasn’t HD quality.
As we reported earlier, YouTube recently switched from a 4:3 aspect ratio to a 16:9 aspect ratio which brought the widescreen video format necessary to support High Definition video.
Without further adieu…
Enjoy Blatant Mockery‘s “Sideshow” in HD.
It really looks great!
The comparison shots above don’t do it any justice.
Hit up the link and please rate and comment on YouTube!!

Periodic Table Of Videos Trumps Your Science Room’s Wall
Posted by Bradley under Science, Technology
It had to happen sometime.
The University of Nottingham has a modern take on that Periodic Table of Elements poster collecting dust at your Alma mater.
The Periodic Table of Videos is an interactive, clickable, videoized web version of the familiar Periodic Table. It was created by Brady Haran of the BBC along with a handful of chemistry scientists and professors at the University of Nottingham.
Click on your favorite element and it will launch a YouTube video of demonstrations (read: burning things) and commentary from important people wearing glasses.
I heart magnesium.
