Seems like there were all sorts of cool vids and pics out there on the net today. I enjoyed them, hope you do too:

From a car traveling 462 MPH on the Bonneville salt flats. Hat tip: The Blaze

Astounding photos of waves in motion. Hat tip: NRO’s Corner blog

Riding a 90-ft. rogue wave in Nazare, Portugal. Cool music, too!

A record-setting ski jump from 2006. Unfortunately, the link comes with the news that the same skier, Jamie Pierre, died from a self-started avalanche under unsafe skiing conditions today in Utah. He died doing what he loved doing the most. May he rest in peace.
