A Little Bit of Awesome: 4/4/18 Edition

A high school basketball player pulled off an amazing solo alley-oop slam dunk this week. He tossed the ball up from behind the three-point line, caught the bounce off the backboard in midair, and dunked it.
That alone was awesome. But there was a kid was filming in the stands when it happened, and his reaction sounds like “Tom and Jerry” . . . when Jerry would set Tom on fire.

Speaking of Tom and Jerry…


  1. Kids are awesome.
  2. Kids with accents are awesomely cute.
  3. Kids giving directions are uber awesome.

Here’s a little guy giving directions to a place in Kentucky called Bear Creek. Pretty sure he’s spot on.


Check out what the Windows 95 startup chime sounds like when you slow it down by 4000%. You could hypnotize people with it. And yes, it’s been around for a while, but man, it’s awesome.


I saw this the other day and was fascinated by it. This is apparently a low cost DIY art project that people in Japan are currently digging right now. I don’t think I have the patience to make this happen, but if you do, that’s awesome.
