Pretty slow day today, until this video:
Watch a Flamethrower and a Fire Extinguisher Battle in Slow Motion

Be still my geeky heart.
Also interesting today, this brief history of data visualization by Shawn Allen of Stamen Design (h/t FlowingData). This is a class I wish I could take.
I watched it with the sound off the first time as my wife was asleep. Works better – you can focus on their amazing faces. I think their facial expressions are more striking than the slow motion flames / smoke!
Totally. I enjoyed those immensely too. I wonder how many takes they did . . .
