Youtube Offers GIF-Making Share Option On Some Channels

You Can Now Make GIFs Directly From YouTube

 

 

 

 

” If you love making GIFs (and really, who doesn’t?) today is a happy day for you. YouTube has finally heeded the call of millions of users and quietly added a GIF-creator tool to some of its videos (for example, anything uploaded by the PBS Idea Channel). The share button (which previously only had share, embed, and email as options) now includes an extra feature: GIF. 

  It’s a pretty bare-bones affair: tap share, set your start and end points, add any captions if you’d like, and click “create” — YouTube will host the GIF itself. The clip can only be a maximum of 5 seconds long, which makes it somewhat of a crude tool for GIF-makers, but it will help keep file size small. The ease with which one churn out GIFs and add meme-like bottom and top text will certainly be enough for the casual user and perhaps spur on a Mememageddon the likes of which we haven’t seen since 2011. The future is now. “

A Supersonic Ping Pong Ball Shooter

 

Behold the 900-MPH Supersonic Ping-Pong Bazooka

 

 

 

” The Internet can teach you how to build a gun that launches ping-pong balls at a few hundred miles per hour. Big deal—where’s the fun in shooting projectiles at subsonic speed? To kick it up a notch, a team of mechanical engineers at Purdue University has reconfigured the ping-pong-ball gun into a supersonic bazooka.

Click hereto watch as it turns four aluminum cans into shrapnel. For years, Mark French has been using the regular subsonic version of the gun to teach kids about physics.”I’ve brought it to 4-H clubs and to schools. I’ve gotten ridiculous mileage out of this thing. With all that use, you can’t help but wonder whether you can improve it.”

Once the engineers got the bazooka up and running, they tested it on all sorts of materials, including VHS tapes, 3/4-inch plywood, stereo speakers, and even a sheet of steel. “The ball didn’t go through the steel, but it put a whopper of a dent in it,” French says. “Normally what happens is the ball comes out in pieces—it’s shattered but not deformed. For this one, it melted and buckled. I didn’t expect that.” ”

White House Video To Muslims Makes Situation Worse

Big Hairy News

  “Barely 24 hours after the White House’s last failed effort to reach out to the Islamic world, Muslims are in an uproar over a video released by the State Department showing Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton suffering a “Janet Jackson” style wardrobe malfunction while apologizing to Muslims.”

Conservatives Do Know Humor

” The Brilliance of Clint’s Empty Chair”

” But the most transformative moment — in its way, the most redolent of the Tea Party
revolution — was Clint Eastwood’s
conversation with an empty chair in whichPresident Obama was not sitting.”

  “What Eastwood did, with his extemporaneous air and unfilled chair, was to call bull**** on the increasingly untenable narrative that the Left has been weaving through all of the public institutions that it has spent decades infiltrating. He elevated to TV Land the shocking breach of
story line and etiquette that hit YouTube years ago when angry citizens shouted down their
Senators at town hall meetings.”

Early Morning Twarody

It’s a bit early for smarmy , at least in my neighborhood , but since the web knows no night or day , here is the latest Twitter fun from Twitchy .

#DNCConventionEvents

Have some laughs before work and ready yourself for the water cooler debates .

#DNCConventionEvents Bowing 101 with Barack Obama

All Atwitter

Those Obama apparatchiks created yet another fail on Twitter . This time a former staffer dreamed up the hashtag game ,

#RomneyYachtNames , which was immediately hijacked with this type of result :

# romneyyachtnames Isabel…
oh wait, that’s a #kerryyachtname

And this :

Landslide # RomneyYachtNames

And this :

Nobama # RomneyYachtNames

Then things got turned upside down when someone created ,
#ObamaYachtNames
Which generated this sort of response :

David Burge

All join in now and have a chuckle at their expense .

Boring Problems ? Give us Kung Fu and Explosions

Once again Mr. Fleming delivers a laugh to keep the tears from flowing .

” Let’s face it: We’re never going to deal with the serious problems in our county. The economy is
still faltering, our debt seems insurmountable,gas prices are out of control and terrorists are
still trying to blow us up with their underwear.
But what issue is dominating the presidential race right now? Gay marriage. ”

There certainly is an attention deficit in this country . But also a courage deficit ….

” We can’t even leave it to the politicians to solve our problems, because they’re not any better.
When President Obama took office, he saw the joblessness and faltering economy and decided
he didn’t feel like dealing with that — instead, he started playing with his fun new health-care plan. ”

As Frank says , we won’t deal with the issues until they bite us on the ..s .

” Maybe we’ll just have to put Ritalin in the water to help us all focus. Because otherwise the only time our economy and the national debt will be interesting enough to hold our attention is when the country has collapsed. That will really grab everyone’s interest — you’ve seen how popular all those zombie-apocalypse shows and movies are. ”

Stock up on ammo and machetes its Zombietime .
