I live at the edge of a city not far from a motorway so my ability to fully appreciate the night sky is limited, but the view from our back garden is still good enough to make me wonder at the majesty of it.
This time-lapse video gives a much clearer view:

(What a fabulous name for a photographer Brad Goldpaint!)
I’m not quite sure why I find this video so intriguing, but I do. It’s a really simple idea, you film the planes approaching London Heathrow Airport in time-lapse and they turn into flying toys:

As someone who’s dexterity stretches just about as far as being able to type with more than one finger I’m always amazed at other peoples ability and skills. I can barely juggle two balls and have never entered into a circle of keepy-uppy so the feats that Akihiro manages to perform are a complete mystery to me.
The video quality isn’t great but the spectacle is amazing:

If you want some more juggling bafflement try this one too (about 6 mins into it there are four guys playing keepy-uppy with their elbows!):

Sometimes we need to see a different perspective of something to see it for what it is. Time-lapse video has a way of opening our eyes to things not seen. This one was filmed in various places around the globe:
Another beauty from Improv Everywhere – the third annual black tie beach event:
Another example of fabulous stop motion goodness from people with bucket loads of patience. This video apparently took 15,000 stills (according to the description on Vimeo):

How much of your life does this video perfectly represent?
Sometimes an innovation is obvious:

I’m sitting just down the road from the British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes with all of the associated razzmatazz. So what better than to have a Mini-Golf Open or as we call it in the UK a Crazy-Golf Open:

We live in a world were remixing is huge.
Carly Rae Jepsen’s song Call Me Maybe took off in the USA with a remixed video, it helped that the remix included Justin Bieber and a whole stack of other stars. 
(According to some reports the original remix was posted before the official video)
The remixing didn’t stop there though, and this week even Sesame Street got in on the act:

It’s been particularly popular with collegiate sports teams:

SMU and Harvard even had a ‘face off’ on NBC:

These things get millions of viewers and I’m sure that the artists love all of the free publicity.
Oh, and before I forget, there’s also an official video which has been watched over 150 million times.
(I decided not to include the one from the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders and Katy Perry)
How many of these can you name without the subtitle? I recognised most of them, but could only name a few of them.
