Fix of Awesome – Literal Name, Rocking Website

Administrator — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 23:40:59 +0000

We take our internets seriously around here. If you spent 12 hours in front of a shiny screen with keys and a mouse for your entertainment, chances are good that you’d take your (italicize “your”, please) internets seriously too.

So, what do you turn to when your entertainment is serious business (italicize “serious business, please)? That’s easy enough — websites that are seriously funny. Videos that bring the funny hard enough for you to want to share them with your friends — and maybe even your frenemies too.

As much as we hop from site to site to get what we want, it’s nice to be able to have a “go to” website that gives us what we want in a tidy, funny little package.

We’ve got another site to add to our funny list: Fix of Awesome. Yep, that’s right — literal website is literal, but it gets better. Sure, any site can tell you that they’re serving up your daily dose of fantastic humor, but Fix of Awesome takes it to a completely different level.

We know what you’re thinking: pics or it didn’t happen. No problem:

Those are all from the accompanying Facebook group for Fix of Awesome, but there’s also a Twitter account as well. The surprise bonus? Those profiles are updated daily — sometimes more than once a day, even. That means that there’s always something new to see. We’re liking that big time — one of our biggest gripes centers around websites that lure you in and then don’t update for who knows how long. You aren’t going to have to worry about that with Fix of Awesome.

With such fantastic content being offered from just the social media level, we knew that we in for a great time hopping over to the Fix of Awesome blog.

Paydirt almost instantly – a stunt driver taking his mom on a crazy ride? That’s crazy, funny, and downright awesome!

We spent some time just clicking through the archives and finding that there’s consistency with the site, which is something that a lot of humor sites don’t have. They might come on strong in the beginning but then there’s a period where they just leave you flat. Is that going to keep people sticking around? Probably not.

It’s pretty easy to make your way around the Fix of Awesome site, which is another plus in our book, as far as we’re concerned. If you’re not going to build a site where people can actually, you know, find things — then what’s the point? We had fun looking around Fix of Awesome, and we’re pretty sure that you will too!

Where do you go from here? Well, you can start with the Facebook profile if you want to get a feel for the main site’s offerings. You’ll also want to follow the Twitter account because there’s some cool stuff there. Your mileage will vary – just pray your boss has the same humor you do!

Time for your humor fix? You know where to go now – Fix of Awesome is where it’s at!

How Women Bands Looked Like a Few Decades Ago

Administrator — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:07:37 +0000

It seems that women in past have been as same active in the world of music and stage arts as they are today. Despite the fact we think that human society was way more conservative about forty or fifty years ago, women were trying to prove themselves as equal to man, probably more than today, and they wanted to be present in every kind of humans activity. Women bands weren’t so popular few decades ago but we could say that today’s world of music is shaped by women. Here you can take a look on how women bands looked like in past, some of photos are more than fifty years old.

Astonishing Cherry Tree With Differently Colored Blossoms

Administrator — Thu, 13 May 2010 04:28:36 +0000

Although this is not any kind of another amazing natural wonder, this beautiful tree with differently colored blossoms is definitely an attraction in the Portchester village, in Britain.

In springs, when trees get their blossoms, this tree looks little bit different than the others. One half of the tree has white blossoms and other half has pink blossoms. The visitors who see this tree for a first time are often astonished by what they see. However, the explanation beside this little natural phenomena is pretty simple and obvious.

This tree was formed like this because of some not so successful grafting. People tried to graft an ornamental cherry tree onto the native British cherry tree which was aimed to serve as a rootstock.

The purpose of rootstock was just to provide the newly grafted tree with nutrients and water from roots. However, the rootstock decided to fight and live and day by day, it fought out for almost an equal share of food and space from the rest of tree.

Forgotten Soviet Military Navy Repair Factory in Estonia

You are watching at photos of abandoned Soviet Military Navy repair factory in Estonia. It is placed at Arkula, near Tallinn. This is another one abandoned Soviet military building which once used to be an instrument in Cold War race with United States.

When Cold War ended Russia and rest of Soviet countries changed their military politics and plenty of similar facilities became useless so they had to simply abandon them leaving plenty of military equipment and arms.

You can see here a few of photos which are telling us that this facility also could contain some dangerous biological weapon. However, that fact does not stop kids from local villages to play with that abandoned but very dangerous equipment.

Ephemicropolis – An Amazing Model of Futuristic City Made of Stacked Staples

Administrator — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:44:55 +0000

Have you ever wondered about how New York or some other giant city could look in hundred years? If you have no idea about how it would look like, then, you should see the city model made by Peter Root.

Peter Root made this amazing city model using a bunch of stacked staples. He decided to call it Ephemicropolis. As you can see, he needed a plenty of patience and time to create such magnificent model.

There is a whole ‘forest’ of buildings and skyscrapers of different size. He made this model of city from about 100,000 staples on the surface of 18 square meters. I really believe that, if technological development continues to grow as equal as in previous years, this model could become real, one day but I am afraid that this civilization has slowly reaching its peak.

RX78 Gundam In Real Life

Administrator — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:13:33 +0000

The RX-78 Gundam is the iconic Gundam mecha design, introduced in 1979 in Yoshiyuki Tomino’s and Sunrise’s anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. In Mobile Suit Gundam, it is a testbed weapon for the Earth Federation, when it falls into the hands of Amuro Ray, the son of a weapons designer, who goes on to pilot it in the Earth Federation’s war against the Principality of Zeon. Now you can see it live, Japanese made a real size Gundam RX78 statute, it’s very cool. This Gundam RX78 is 18 metres tall and it has movable head and shoots smoke from some parts. Maybe it is even cooler that this Bumblebee Trasnformer statue.

The RX-78′s initial concept was that of a powered armor, the primary design for Yoshiyuki Tomino’s proposed series Freedom Fighter Gunboy. The series later changed its name to Mobile Suit Gundam and Kunio Okawara was given Tomino’s concept to shape into a finalized design for the anime. Okawara did various designs, including the original design on the right, before settling on the current, more samurai-styled design. One of the common questions asked is why did the enemies in the series keep referring to the RX-78-2 as White while it is a mix of blue, red, and white. Tomino’s response in the novel version of Gundam is that the original design was to be a grayscale machine, made up of mostly white and light gray coloring.

Those metal sculptures really looks great, and the best thing is that those weird mechanic’s have a lots of fire for you. Those are fire breathing robots and it looks too cool. These creative creators of those weird robots really do have some extra free time. Take a look at pictures and enjoy.

Jumping spiders, flaming bots and unnamed “things” inhabit the Greathouse Labs, providing lots of overheated excitement:

Terminator-like entities haunt the grounds:

Wicked-looking battle bots and robot crawlers lurk in the garage, the walking cannons scurry around like mechanized chickens:

Imagine meeting this thing somewhere in the country field in the middle of the night… You just might become a connoisseur of “grotesque” for the rest of your life.
