DJ Steve Porter

The DJ behind the great Slap Chop remix (which has been turned into a real commercial) has also made some other nice tracks. I especially like the Henry Rollins vs Techno Viking remix.

And "Youtube Music Is"

Afstudeer Ontwerp

Voor mijn afstuderen heb ik een filmpje gemaakt van mijn ontwerp voor een duurzaam en kosten efficiënt kantoor gebouw. Dacht misschien is het wel eens leuk om het up te loaden en om mijn E-Penis te bootsen.

TED: Growing new organs

Anthony Atala's state-of-the-art lab grows human organs -- from muscles to blood vessels to bladders, and more. At TEDMED, he shows footage of his bio-engineers working with some of its sci-fi gizmos, including an oven-like bioreactor (preheat to 98.6 F) and a machine that "prints" human tissue.

Slime Mold Time Lapse

"Slime mold (or slime mould, see spelling differences) is a broad term describing fungus-like organisms that use spores to reproduce."

"They begin life as amoeba-like cells. These unicellular amoebae are commonly haploid and multiply if they encounter their favorite food, bacteria. These amoebae can mate if they encounter the correct mating type and form zygotes which then grow into plasmodia. These contain many nuclei without cell membranes between them, which can grow to be meters in size. One variety is often seen as a slimy yellow network in and on rotting logs. The amoebae and the plasmodia engulf microorganisms. The plasmodium grows into an interconnected network of protoplasmic strands.^[7] 

The streaming protoplasm within a plasmodial strand can reach speeds of up to 1.35 mm per second which is the fastest rate recorded for any micro-organism.^[8] Migration of the plasmodium is accomplished when more protoplasm streams to advancing areas and protoplasm is withdrawn from rear areas. When the food supply wanes, the plasmodium will migrate to the surface of its substrate and transform into rigid fruiting bodies. The fruiting bodies or sporangia are what we commonly see, they superficially look like fungi or molds but are not related to the true fungi. These sporangia will then release spores which hatch into amoebae to begin the life cycle again.^"

The extreme Water Bear

wiki: Tardigrades (commonly known as water bears) are microscopic, water-dwelling, segmented animals with eight legs. The biggest adults may reach a body length of 1.5 mm, the smallest below 0.1 mm. Tardigrades are polyextremophiles and are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures of -273°C, close to absolute zero, temperatures as high as 151 °C (303 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals such as humans, almost a decade without water, and even the vacuum of space. In September 2007, tardigrades were taken into low Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission and for 10 days were exposed to the vacuum of space. After they were returned to Earth, it was discovered that many of them survived and laid eggs that hatched normally, making these the only animals shown to be able to survive the vacuum of space.
