I like all the mammatus clouds that you see at the very end of the video.

The following video has been pretty popular on the internet recently, but I wanted to share it anyway. Composer Jarbas Agnelli saw a photo in the newspaper of birds sitting on power lines and it reminded him of notes on a music staff. So, using an unedited version of the picture he composed a song using the birds' positions on the power lines just like you would notes on a musical staff to create the melody. The result was beautiful.

This is completely awesome. It a movie of the assembly of the 5200 piece Lego Millennium Falcon assembled by Lego Star Wars characters.

As part of an educational project my lab group is working on here at NCSU, I've put together some time lapse videos of clouds as observed from my office in Jordan Hall. You can see an example below.

This video is from 18 May 2008. The camera is located on the fifth floor of Jordan Hall in Raleigh, NC and faces SSE.

This video shows the evolution of clouds throughout the day starting in the early morning. At the end of the video some rain moves across the area and leaves us with a nice rainbow as the sun sets.
