Truly, mind­bog­glingly, fantastic

That, by the way, is some­thing like a Theremin. The cat, though tal­ented, is not this good.

The NYTimes has an inter­est­ing arti­cle today about artist and med­ical stu­dent Satre Stuelke’s Radi­ol­ogy Art project. If you’re an artist with access to expen­sive med­ical equip­ment, what bet­ter to do than scan ran­dom stuff and see what happens?

Stuelke’s medium of choice is a CT Scan­ner, which takes a series of X-ray images of an object with dif­fer­ent focal lengths and from dif­fer­ent angles. The data can then be assem­bled into a 3D image of the object through a process called “tomosyn­the­sis.” This, in turn, allows you to dis­cern impor­tant facts. For instance, appar­ently, the bunny to the right is filled with beans.

From the Uni­ver­sity of York Film­mak­ing Soci­ety comes this amaz­ing video of Kill Bill Parts 1 & 2, in one minute.

Are you Bill?

Turns out Pres­i­dent Obama picked his own bracket for the NCAA Tour­na­ment. This is per­haps unsur­pris­ing, con­sid­er­ing how big a bas­ket­ball fan he is. How­ever, the video of him con­struct­ing this bracket is sur­pris­ingly hilarious:

Three imme­di­ate responses:

1. This is awesome.
2. Does he implic­itly con­done gam­bling at the end of the video? (Not that I really care, but I’m sure Sarah Palin would be self-righteously incensed if she knew.)
3. Imag­ine what it’s like to be a col­lege bas­ket­ball player, know­ing that the pres­i­dent of the United States knows who you are, and is siz­ing you up.

The full arti­cle about Obama’s picks, includ­ing dis­cus­sion and com­men­tary is here.
