"Potassium Chlorate and Gummy Bear"
CAUTION: This video is quite loud once the experiment is underway.  You might want to turn down the volume.  It's worth it.

BoingBoing posted a stunning video in their recent article: 
"Waterfall in Yosemite looks like it's on fire"
At first I was extremely skeptical.  As the video progresses, it's clearer that this seems to be a true phenomenon, and quite beautiful.

Technical marvels abound these days.  Here's a video of an aerial drop of military trucks, flying off the back of an airplane.
Very intense.

Yesterday on Wired, Boston Dynamics does it again!  Petman, a bipedal version of BigDog.  
"Why Do We Love the Robotic Packmule?"
This thing is incredible, and more than a little bit creepy.
