  • Hey my name's Michael and your watching the DONG channel here on Youtube.

  • I have been traveling the country with Brain Candy live. It has been amazing. I've met hundreds of you

  • every night and it makes me realize how much you all carrotmuseum.co.uk/carrotcolours.

  • A crunchy DONG, something you can do online now guys.

  • Put your hands in the air and Flag Waver like ya just don't care.

  • Cuz this site is a lot of fun.

  • You can either upload a file or paste a URL of an image and watch it flow in the wind.

  • There are a few factors to change up like whether the wind is on or off.

  • You can even choose where it waves from.

  • Hey look at my DONG flag flapping around.

  • What a beauty.

  • It looks good waving from the right, left, top, and Bottom

  • North Carolina, Netherlands, and Netherlands Antilles.

  • These are the three places in the world called Bottom. Us.geotargit.com gives you the chance

  • to see locations in the world that share a common city name.

  • Where are you from?

  • I'm going to assume you're from Planken, Liechtenstein because it has a whopping population of less than

  • 500 people.

  • Oh look there are four places in the world named Planken.

  • Two in Belgium, one in Liechtenstein, and one in Germany, which of course is not near the North

  • or South Pole. Those poor poles get treated so poorly by the Mercator projection.

  • But on Mercator Extreme, you can give them better treatment.

  • You can avoid cutting off thousands of miles short of the poles which is the case in normal Mercator

  • projections, by using this map to display the infinite magnitudinal distortion as you look

  • further away from the equator.

  • If you write in the coordinates of the South Pole this feature of the map is kind of...well it's not great

  • because it's difficult to detect distortion when looking at an abyss of ice.

  • However, if you plug in somewhere like Nairobi, Kenya this distortion becomes much more evident.

  • Look at the sizes of the houses and buildings closer to the equator, and now look at them

  • closer to your chosen location.

  • These are some big buildings.

  • In fact even bigger than spain...but of course not in real life. That's just an effect of the map's distortion.

  • Zoom in and then out to see the distorted poles relative to the more accurately sized

  • objects close to the equator.

  • Now let's roll this map back into a globe

  • For 2050.earth which actually looks nothing like the map we just saw.

  • This site has collected predictions from artists, scientists, and more, and consolidated them

  • here.

  • Click on the yellow hexagons to see where cities, objects, and events of the future

  • are visualized by someone.

  • White hexagons only show predictions.

  • For example if you click on this one you can see a prediction that in 2040 there will be

  • a large amount of new micro-satellites travelling through our solar system.

  • My prediction is that in the next few seconds you will go to

  • Spectrum Analyzer which is an interesting way to see harmonics and frequency intensities.

  • You can select one of these sounds to see it at work.

  • Now, look at the violin.

  • You can see that for each fundamental frequency there are many harmonics as represented by

  • these brighter areas.

  • The darker colors are indicative of lower decibel frequencies and are more difficult

  • for your ears to detect.

  • Other sounds have fewer harmonics like whistling.

  • You can upload your own sounds as well but in order to accurately read the spectrogram

  • you'll need an eye for color so go to

  • Pickr, a difficult game where you have to select the square that is a different color

  • from the rest.

  • Starting at level one can lull you into a false sense of security but don't get too

  • comfortable because as it goes it gets nearly impossible to distinguish.

  • But if this was easy for you than you'd probably be a great painter.

  • So check out fluid paint.

  • This is just like any other painting site.

  • WRONG!

  • The site emulates the texture of real paint using a variety of factors.

  • Lower quality paint makes it look all gloopy.

  • And look what happens when you set it to low fluidity versus high fluidity.

  • You can change the bristle count as well as color.

  • If your painting doesn't look like mine, well that's just because you are as unique as

  • the robot you choose on

  • Robo boogie.

  • Your originality doesn't stop there because you can make him dance however you'd like.

  • I'm gonna make his head move left to right more powerfully and have his left arm swing

  • around like this.

  • Why not have him thrust his hips around too. Excellent!

  • Now Robo Boogie is a little known DONG but if you want to

  • visualize larger DONGs go to Icons of the Web.

  • Here you can type in the URL of websites and see how popular they are by their size.

  • Links to all DONGs can be found in the description down below.

  • Please subscribe for more DONGs and as always, thanks for watching.
