Fun Friday Videos
Is it a tradition? Not yet. I just stumbled upon some fun stuff this week and thought I’d share.
This first video may make all of my friends think less of me, or they might totally understand. I can’t decide if I think it’s totally awesome or a sign of the end of the world. The Large Hadron Collider has received some bad press. Evidently, some people are worried that this huge super-collider could produce micro black holes or stranglets. Crazy stuff that particle physics. I think this video might be some kind of PR stunt to make the biggest science experiment of modern history a little more approachable?
And, on a possibly less cheesy note (though, I do think the music here is a bit cheesy), I found the Ashtanga yoga demonstration video that I love so much. This is in honor of Liz coming to yoga with me last night! This video demonstrates most of the 108 poses in the standard Ashtanga sequence. Someday, Liz. Someday we’ll be able to do this stuff! :)
Nah baby, that particle physics vid is off da hook! Word!
James and I came to the opinion that if the LHC does collapse the universe into a point, it would really fix some of our work related schedules and time pressures. That would be SOO nice.
Go Hadron Go! Whoot whoot!
I haven’t worked out the time dilation as we cross the event horizon, but I think the overall effect on the product release schedule would be positive.
I will be seriously disappointed if the fictional doomsday fails to occur. Then I will have to do all those things I said I would do. :)

Wow… these videos are classic! The one about the LHC is simply hilarious and the yoga one made me realize (again!) my lack of flexibility. I seriously am going to stretch after writing this comment.
They’ve turned on the LHC. It did not fix my schedule and procrastinated work in a singularity. If you need status on that:
