Where the Hell is Matt?

Matt Harding properly know better as “that guy who dances on the Internet.” got his Internet fame after deciding to quit his job as a video game designer and taking what money he had saved to travel the world. While travelling a friend gave him the idea to dance every where he went so that’s what he did.

The response to the first video brought the attention of Stride (the long-lasting gum). They asked Matt if he’d be interested in taking another trip around the world all expanses paid to make a new video. He said Yes and by the end of 2005, Matt left on a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal.

Matt currently lives in Seattle, Washington, where he still works writing and designing video games. To see what hes up to now check out his website at wherethehellismatt.com

Total Lunar Eclipse This Weekend

This This Saturday March 3rd a total lunar eclipse will be visible from nearly all inhabited parts of the world. A shadow will stretch across the surface of the moon, eventually casting it in an eerie red glow as sunlight filters through our atmosphere onto the lunar surface. Viewers in Europe and Africa will have the best vantage point, able to watch the entire eclipse in action, while observers in most of the western hemisphere can see it eclipsed as it rises just after sunset.

It’s a hysterical and spectacular mint-powered version of the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, brought to you by the mad scientists at EepyBird.com.
