  • 17 Million prople stopped buying CD's in 2008 [Ars Technica]
  • Virginity rates by collegiate major [forwardon]
  • Charlotte Bobcats seeded 7th in NIT [Onion] - Pacers must not have been invited...
  • Google Offers 500,000 for free on Sony Reader [Mashable]
  • Drunken vomiting in UK caught by Google Streetview [Gizmodo]
  • Spinal Tap returns, and gets photoshopped [Photoshop Disasters]

I don't know about you, but I've been a fan of the Old Spice marketing campaigns for a few years...  The new Tony Stweart add is pretty funny [link], but my favorite is the one below that was usually cropped for time...

It's the line "and we'll buy you a stick of something that smells like wildflowers and shame"

Apparently this is a commercial with a political message, hence the category inclusion...  And while I agree agree with the message, it's posted mostly for the video...

I'd love to be the production staff that gets to specialize in this type of video.  Imagine the daily meetings where the question is always "what are we going to shoot next?"

Oh yeah, the opera is a nice touch as well...

It's below, but as an FYI it's 4.5 mintes and requires sound.

Basically someone edited together clips from Ferris Buler's Day Off using a classical score which.  The choice of shots with the music makes it feel like a COMPLETELY different movie.  Something more serious or akin to Garden State.

Flicker recently started to support video, so this is my first test of it. It's also me trying to see if it will work in conjunction with my blog.

These look so much better uncompressed on my machine, but they are still fun enough on YouTube to bother posting.

But it is...

These are some determined animals...

But I saw this on Gizmodo this morning, and it's a nicely accurate summary of the current landscape. Plus it's a way to make fun of Hitler. There are some naughty words in this video, but only written... There may be more in German, but that's not a language I know.

NOTE: the first time I posted this, the clip was removed from YouTube within a day or two... I had to find it again and re-post it...

ADDITIONAL NOTE: alas, it has been perpetually removed... so instead of re-posting this video over and over, I recommend that you look for a video on YouTube that's about the HD-DVD and Hitler.

If you're in a creative field or enjoy the creative process - give it a watch. It just struck me for more than a few reasons... (Thanks Dan Goodsell for posting this for me to see)

Here's one of the things I've been learning to do with my digital SLR... This was taken on march 12, 2007.

I wish I had more time to blog about more unimportant things, but alas I do not...

Well, check out this video clip of someone who programmed the old robots from a ShowBiz to a Bubba Sparxxx tune...

NOTE: this video has been designated private and is no longer available...  Sadness... So the closest thing I could find to replace it was the same robots doing a version of Hips Don't Lie by Shakira...
