No CGI was used just pure human calculated precision. It also won many awards.

Seriously, this commercial kicks ass. Not serious, you’ve got to ask yourself why the hell do you spend over six mil on an ad? The Blair Witch Project costs just below 30 thousand dollars to make and if you include the rights Artisan doled out for the rights to show it at Sundance it just goes a notch the one mil mark, Six mil is a lot of money for pure precision I say. Then again, six mil on meth is just so uber costly. The guys err retards or meth-heads I know can do this at less than one percent of the cost and that’s meth included.

UPDATE: OK, I stand corrected, I asked the meth-heads and they’re asking that I up the ante by two percent, according to them, it’ll take them a week or two to replicate this ad plus they have to be on meth all the time and they might be in danger of losing their sanity. Geez! Those freaks! As if they’re still sane. When I was talking to John (real name withheld upon request) his brother Jim, as of this writing, was rewriting the bible.

UPDATE: Jim has rewritten the bible!

Thanks to riain for the tip and the permission who I still owe a Skyliner before Tiesto arrives here again at Manila. I’ll try to make good on that promise bro, I just have to break out of this prison called Tambayan.ph. You see those sweatshops? Those are haven compared to the cramped-up place they detain us to write posts like this. We eat once every two days, that is if we post at least one topic per day. Do the math. See the authors list on the right column? Those below 10 posts might have died of hunger already. I wouldn’t know because we’re locked-up in single-holding cells.

EDIT/ADD: Damn! This is a very long post. I know Ryman is a good sport and he won’t starve me or kill me after I revealed Tambayan’s secret.

Engineers at the University of Washington have for the first time used manufacturing techniques at microscopic scales to combine a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights. “Looking through a completed lens, you would see what the display is generating superimposed on the world outside,” said Babak Parviz, a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering. “This is a very small step toward that goal, but I think it’s extremely promising.”

The blood pen didn’t scare my perv cousin. He actually was the one who found this piece of news for me. He was bragging that once he get his hands on of these, he’ll reverse engineer it so that it becomes contacts with x-ray vision. He’ll be tossing his Liquid Image Camera for this new toy. And he’ll be superimposing in this my girlfriend’s naked pics. Damn! Give me a new torture device! My cousin is way out of control.

An outstanding video displaying what water looks like in zero gravity. This was an experiment done by the International Space Station.
