I’ve seen some fairly basic flair bartending in person and some advanced flair bartending examples online but the following video of Alexander Shtifanov showing off his skills on Ukraine’s Got Talent is something to behold!

Man Vs Metro
Bear Grylls is the face and host of Man Vs Wild, a massively popular TV show where Bear is dropped into some of the most inhabitable, remove locations on the planet and demonstrates first hand how to survive.
Having a black belt in Karate, Bear spent three years with the British Special Air Service (21 SAS) division where he specialised as a combat survival instructor, trained in evasive driving, parachuting, demolitions, trauma medic, unarmed combat and jungle warfare.
Elliot Loney on the other hand is not trained in any of those things but does a mean Bear Grylls impersonation, first seen when Bear got lost in a camping store and now as he manages to navigate his way to safety from the treacherous urban jungle!

Next time you see an old man on the train looking for a seat..
Remember that he could be an evil light sabre wielding Yoda from hell.
Dynamic Sculptures
Reuben Margolin is an American sculptor known for creating beautiful mechanical, moving or kinetic sculptures that are inspired by nature and powered by math.
I’ve written about Theo Jansen’s Standbeests before, which are amazing wind powered PVC beach walking kinetic sculptures and you can see why the art from Reuben has my attention completely.
Spend a few minutes and be mesmerized by his art and the incredible attention to detail it takes to combine hundreds or thousands of individual components, lots of motors, cranks, wire and more into spectacular fluid art installations.
James Bond Theme Song Performed By Quadrotors
Last month I wrote about some small quadrotor helicopters that could do some pretty incredible things that were developed by the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
The two engineers from University of Pennsylvania, Daniel Mellinger and Alex Kushleyev who formed KMel Robotics are at it again & this time they have their quadrotor helicopters playing the James Bond theme song!
The quadrotor helicopters aren’t being controlled by any humans and the entire performance has been programmed by the engineers. Throughout the demonstration you’ll see them play a keyboard, drums, maracas, a cymbal and custom guitar built from a couch frame.
Next I want to see the duo do something crazy but with real world implications, such as search & rescue in small confined spaces or synchronised large area surveillance so that collectively the swarm are maximising visual coverage by co-ordinating their collective viewing angles.
