Watching a Time Lapse of Burning Man Is Like Seeing a Disease Spread [Video]

By Casey Chan Oct 16, 2011 11:00 AM 6,404 8

Watching a Time Lapse of Burning Man Is Like Seeing a Disease Spread This time lapse video shows 5 weeks of Burning Man 2011 in 5 minutes. It covers the entire event—from set up to everyone leaving—at about 3 hours every second. It's like watching a disease spread on the face of the Earth.

The nighttime part seems to be the most fun with crazy lights and fires burning abound while the day time sequences look hot, dusty and hot and dusty. Does this time lapse video capture the soul of Burning Man or do you have to be up close to partake on the crazy? [Playa Time via Laughing Squid]

Watching the Alphabet Animate Itself Is Way Too Much Fun [Video]

Watching the Alphabet Animate Itself Is Way Too Much Fun I've never had this much fun reading the alphabet since I was a kid and finally conquered the L, M, N, O stretch of my ABCs. But this video is way cooler—the letters actually animates itself to represent a word it begins with. It's so goddamn clever.

For example, B is for biscuit and it's actually a biscuit! D is for destruction and it actually gets destroyed! G is for grass and grass actually grows on the letter! You get the point. The video, called Alphabet 2, was made by Alessandro Novelli and even amidst all the fun of playing around with creatively oversized letters, the font is always made within Helvetica proportions. So, so cool. I'm going to watch this all day. [Vimeo]

This Is Like Watching God Playing with Puppets [Video]

This Is Like Watching God Playing with Puppets Watching artist Barry JC Purves manipulate his figure of melancholy composer Petyr Tchaikovsky in this brief 25fps time lapse is absolutely mesmerizing. It's kind of like seeing the veil torn away and watching God move his subject.

I suddenly really want to see Swan Lake. With puppets. [Neatorama]

How a Despicable Computer Consultant Terrorized More than 100 People by Watching Their Every Move [Crime]

How a Despicable Computer Consultant Terrorized More than 100 People by Watching Their Every MoveIt's one thing to have some sort of "noble purpose" when you grab nudie pics from a person's computer. Extorting people for them and making money off their identities is quite another. That's what 32-year-old Luis Mijangos did, and it's completely vile.

Working out of Santa Ana, the paraplegic Mijangos made about $1000 a week consulting and building websites. Not too shabby. However, he could make up to $3000 a day hacking into people's computers, rooting through their financial data, and causing an unholy mess with people's lives. But it wasn't just the money. He would infect their webcams and microphones, giving him behind the scenes access to people's private activities, and allowing him to blackmail and torture them. According to ComputerWorld:

One victim, a juvenile identified by prosecutors only as S.G., sent Mijangos pornographic photos after he hacked into her computer and tricked her over instant message into believing he was her boyfriend. Mijangos then threatened to post the photos online if she didn't send him more pictures.

Sick. Mijangos went above and beyond what the average identity thief would do and turned it into a twisted game for kiddie porn. He has since gotten six years in prison for his crimes. [ComputerWorld]

Update: I've struck out the paraplegic bit up top. My apologies to those of you who were offended by the mention of Mijangos being a paraplegic. It was added in the interest of completeness, not to be sensational or hurtful. I'll work on the context time.
