Five Months of My Life, Gone

Thursday, January 24, 2008

So apparently there’s a whole series of these parodies, but I think “Hitler: Bloodthirsty Dictator, Die-hard Cowboys Fan” is the best. Sure, it’s no Planet Unicorn, but it’s definitely the funniest YouTubery I’ve seen this year.

Washing a Cat

Friday, January 26, 2007

This Kitty Washing Machine may very well be effective, but I don’t think its efficiency trumps the fact that it looks like the cat is scared out of its mind. I think even a decade ago — before I owned any cats — that I would not have laughed at this poor feline’s frantic fright. <link via LYD>

BCS Championship Game Video

Thursday, January 11, 2007

How cool is the World Wide Web™? Within 24 hours of the game I was able to use μtorrent to download the entire 2006 BCS Championship Game and watch it using the latest DivX player. The 2.2GB file took about 20 hours to download, but it’s worth it. I’m considering using the office projector to play the game on the wall behind me on a constant loop.

(While you’re waiting for the massive download, take a look at this awesome video of suffering OSU fans at the game, set to the tune of Beck’s “Loser“. It’s very evil and completely bad karma, but still great.)

Misleading Trailers

Thursday, January 4, 2007

The ShiningMy friend Joy asked me if I’d seen The Shining, the classic Stephen King movie. I saw it years and years ago, on an ancient technology known as a “VCR”, if you can believe that. (I have read the book — an even more ancient technology — several times.) She asked me if I’d seen the trailer on YouTube. This is where it gets awesome. Check out this misleading trailer.

I love it! It’s an entirely new genre of web fun! Has anyone found any more of these?

Update:: Apparently I’m almost exactly one year late on this one.

Mannequins on Skateboards

Tuesday, November 14, 2006

What happens when you take a bunch of nude female mannequins and attach them to skateboards? You get a strangely fascinating video. The subititle is perfect: “Mannequins on skateboards. With predictable results. Somehow captivating.” Oh, the humanity. (But not the huge manatee.)

The Muppet Matrix

Tuesday, September 19, 2006

This is quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on YouTube. It’s The Matrix, starring Kermit the Frog as Neo.

Kermit, Neo

Friday, March 24, 2006

Now, instead of searching the web for “borrowed” NBC highlights, you can go to the source! We’ve taken your viral favorites and gathered them into one convenient location. Watch. React. Tell a friend.

In an incredible burst of sanity, NBC has decided to do something sensible. My flabber is gasted.

PS: Yes, the Natalie Portman rap is here. w00t!

Video Blog Business Models: SXSW 2006

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

On Tuesday I attended a panel at SXSW titled “Video Blog Business Models“. The description of the panel — from the SXSW website — was “We have the technology, but where is the money? Learn the newest ideas for pulling revenue from the new world of blogged video content.”

It was moderated by (MOD) Chris Nolan, Editor & Founder of Spot-on.com. (I should note that of all the panels I attended at SXSW, she was by far the best moderator.)

Democratization of the Moving Image: SXSW 2006

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

On Tuesday I attended a panel at the SXSW Day Stage titled “Democratization of the Moving Image” featuring Andrew Baron (AB) and Amanda Congdon (AC) of rocketboom. I’ve been downloading the show ever since TiVo recommended it to me, and I love it, so it was great to get to see these two explain their philosophy, the development of the “show”, and what they think about it.

My Evil Twin

Saturday, March 23, 2002

Suspect: That Burglar Is My Evil Twin Brother!
William Earl Dykes, 40, says a convenience store’s surveillance video doesn’t show him breaking into the store — it’s his “evil twin brother” who’s carrying out the crime. Police aren’t buying the story, which has been debunked by the man’s sister. Dykes has a brother, she says, “but he’s not a twin, and he’s certainly not evil.” (New Orleans Times-Picayune)
