Geek Blog – Still Alive

The ending credits start to roll.  You now know the cake is absolutely, a lie.  You’ve escaped the Aperture Science labs and outsmarted the sarcastic AI GLaDOS.  Then you’re treated to an upbeat song penned by John Coulton: “Still Alive”; you have beaten Valve’s “Portal”, a unique, physics-based game where you can create doorways in walls, ceilings and floors, much like the ACME holes of Saturday Morning Cartoon legend.

Now, for some reason, I can’t stop listening to this song.  When it comes up on my playlist, I turn it up.  Apparently I’m not alone.  Check out the following interpretations/covers of this song, the original and a special bonus after the jump.  But first, enjoy this children’s choir rendition, complete with light show!


Thanks YT user joinchoir

Geek Blog – Crazy, Crazy Maths

We all know the romance of √3.  I just found out that 0.999… = 1 (also mentioned on Wikipedia).  But were you aware that 7×13=28?  More on the 0.999… after the jump.

Thanks, YT User ajnabimain69 for posting this video!

LOL.  Should be the Geek Anthem.  Very well written.  “I was first in line to buy Halo 3/On Friday nights I play D&D.”

I love it!  Check out more of Dave and Brian’s stuff on the iTunes store.

Geek Blog – Symphony of Science 5

The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed by John Boswell designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form.

The project owes its existence in large measure to the wonderful work of Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, of Druyan-Sagan Associates, and their production of the classic PBS Series Cosmos, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals.
