An inventor doing hard work

Undercover Office Potty A man has a solution to not waste time in the bathroom when he is at work - A Banksy work sold for more than one million euros destroys itself after its sale Was Banksy at the evening sale at Sotheby’s on Friday night? That was the question on everyone’s lips when one of the Bristolian street artist’s paintings mysteriously self-destructed as the contemporary auction drew to a close. Girl with a Balloon (2006) was the final lot of the night, and just as the canvas hammered at £953,829—exactly the same figure as the artist’s previous auction record, achieved in 2008—an alarm was triggered inside the work of art. Onlookers turned just in time to see the canvas slip through its faux-gilt frame and be shredded into pieces.
- This is how a spider catches a frog August 4, 2017 / Gainesville, Florida, USA I was at work outside, when we came across a bed full of banana spiders. One web had a toad in it, and I caught it on camera just in time.
- Bike theft attempt I have my bike sitting in the front yard with TheBlankTrigger attached to test how effective it is on a bike. Apparently, this thief didn't want to steal a bike with flat tires (too much work). Thankfully, I have motion sensors in my front yard (who doesn't?) and I assumed it was birds eating my new grass seed (yes I know the yard looks like crap, work in progress). I'm glad I checked my cameras just in time to catch him in my yard, and with how fast he ran, he didn't need the bike anyway.
- Snack Time for Bluenjy Bluenjy was taking a snack time break during work. This is how he feels most comfortable when sitting and loves to pick out his own costumes.
- How to Mount a Trailer in Russia Occurred on April 19, 2017 / Far East, Russia Info from Licensor: "After a long season of conducting exploration drilling at our remote exploration camp in the Russian Far East, the drilling contractor was loading up their diamond drilling rig onto the trailer to haul it out to the next drill site. Apparently they had done it many times before without a problem. This time it didn't work out so well, as often happens in the remote Russian work camps. No-one was hurt and the drill repaired in three days. Unfortunately the vodka bottles were a write-off."
- Phase-Functioned Neural Networks for Character Control We present a real-time character control mechanism using a novel neural network architecture called a Phase-Functioned Neural Network. In this network structure, the weights are computed via a cyclic function which uses the phase as an input. Along with the phase, our system takes as input user controls, the previous state of the character, the geometry of the scene, and automatically produces high quality motions that achieve the desired user control. The entire network is trained in an end-to-end fashion on a large dataset composed of locomotion such as walking, running, jumping, and climbing movements fitted into virtual environments. Our system can therefore automatically produce motions where the character adapts to different geometric environments such as walking and running over rough terrain, climbing over large rocks, jumping over obstacles, and crouching under low ceilings. Our network architecture produces higher quality results than time-series autoregressive models such as LSTMs as it deals explicitly with the latent variable of motion relating to the phase. Once trained, our system is also extremely fast and compact, requiring only milliseconds of execution time and a few megabytes of memory, even when trained on gigabytes of motion data. Our work is most appropriate for controlling characters in interactive scenes such as computer games and virtual reality systems.
- The Art of Making a Nixie Tube The nixie tube is a vintage display device which had been used until 70s when it was replaced with LED displays. The complex knowledge of manufacture of nixie tubes literally died with tube factory's engineers, glassblowers and machine operators.
I discovered nixie tubes in 2011 and since then, I've devoted all my time to studies of nixie tubes and its manufacturing processes. After years of intensive work, with help of many people, I eventually succeeded and have revived the knowledge and equipment for production of nixie tubes.
- Modding. Custom case for computer (Battletech/Mech Warrior style). Continue work on computer case in the style of BattleTech (Mech Warrior). A distinctive feature of the Vulture (Mad Dog) have always been two huge missile launchers – in this video we are going to do... Also add a couple of sensors for temperature control on the Arduino and RGB led backlight. Time work took a lot, but I, as usual, tried to cover scope of work in the most compressed form, so as not to bore You)
- Time Lapse of Surprise Craft Room Build w/ Reveal My wife and daughter went away to visit family and left me alone for 20 days, in that time i transformed our basement with the new craft room they had been dreaming about. It was a ton of work, but with them gone i could work all hours of the night.
- Lazy Horse A unique case in South Korea horse who lies down every time someone tries to harness it to work.
- Disney: The 90’s Supercut I work as a professional trailer editor, this is simply an editing exercise I've done in my free time. Featuring Disney's 2D animation films from The Great Mouse Detective (1986) to Treasure Planet (2002). I hope you enjoy.
- Ninja Window Washer Sometimes you get bored at work so you think of different ways to pass the time. This window washer decides to practice his ninja skills while he cleans.
- Bikers Do Care On my way home form work when I saw this, couldn't just ride on by & not see if she was okay! Only takes a minute of your time to help someone potentially in need of a hand :) & a thank you to the nice lady who stopped to! - Woody
- Finishing a Basement in 60 Seconds This animated time lapse of my basement being finished compresses 2 months worth of work into 60 seconds. 1000+ Photoshop layers were painstakingly cut from 27 panoramic photographs and then compiled and animated in After Effects.
