Web 2.0: The Machine is Us/ing Us
I apologise if you have already come across this extremely thought provoking video already, but for those of you that haven’t I thought that it was definitely worth posting here as it is nothing short of brilliant. Created by Michael Wesch who is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas [...]
Video – The Juke Bot Robot DJs
Back in the day, when I had enough energy to stay up past ten o’clock and I had rhythm in my soul (it was never the right rhythm, but it was rhythm none the less), I saw many DJs who were a great deal less animated (and less talented) than [...]
Ultimate Low Level Flying Videos
We won’t make any excuses – we like aircraft here at TFTS Towers, and we especially like fast aircraft (and fast aircraft at low level, well…) and, judging by the popularity of previous aircraft related videos we’ve shown on Thoughts from the Sidelines, so do you. That said, it’s been [...]
Video –Wii Hold on Tight Animation
Even though we are desperate to get our hands on a Wii console here at TFTS we still don’t have one – though I suspect appearing home with an Xbox 360 a few weeks back didn’t help in the ‘convince the wife that we should have one’ stakes (nevertheless, the [...]
Video – Hand Shadows VW Advert
Entitled ‘Isn’t it Beautiful what Hands can do’ this television advert for the VW Phaeton is one of those adverts that you genuinely don’t mind sitting back and watching (though, personally, any Honda ad – such as this one – is always guaranteed to get my full attention). We’ve all [...]

Video – Awesome Lego Car Production Line
I must confess, as someone who had a passion for Lego when I was younger I watched this video in awe and I would urge anyone who has ever dabbled with Lego – and even those who have not – to see the video featured below as it’s absolutely remarkable [...]
Video – The Shopping Japanese Penguin
We’ve seen some silly things here as TFTS and, though this is by no means the oddest thing we’ve featured by way of video clips, I would venture to say with reasonable certainty that a shopping penguin is somewhat out of the norm. In the video below you can see [...]
Video – The Chainsaw Powered Harley
In a somewhat clever bid to promote their company name and their range of products, Hamburg based Dolmar GmbH have produced a impressive motorbike powered by no less than 24 separate chainsaw engines, with the combined power totalling 125kW – delivering 130Nm of torque – being fed to a Harley-Davidson [...]
Honda’s Remarkable New TV Ad with ASIMO
You may or may not have seen this new advert from Honda featuring their awe inspiring Asimo robot but, if you haven’t then you’re in for a treat. A little (probably too honest) background. The first time I saw this was in a pub this weekend whilst I was supposed [...]
