This is probably the cutest thing physically possible. It’s all downhill from here, cute-wise.

Monday, October 22nd, 2007
Lawrence Lessig fought the radical extension of copyright for 10 years, and now he’s turning his attention to the deeper problem of corruption in democratic institutions, with this presentation an early attempt to begin grappling with the issue. Over an hour long, it’s pretty much quality all the way through.
Dancing bird

Heck, while I’m posting animal things here’s a video of a bird with only one real move, but it’s a totally awesome one.
Guys and Dolls
Thursday, October 18th, 2007
Documentary called “Guys and Dolls” on realdolls, the anatomically correct, life-sized artificial female facsimiles that often serve as a replacement for human companionship. Ultra-weird. Weird beyond weird. Typically I consider a documentary to be good if it totally surprises me at least one or two times. Even knowing of realdolls’ existence for a few years, the documentary still managed to surprise me every one to two minutes. It just screams surreal, and is stranger than any possible fictional attempt at covering the subject. See also: Uncanny Valley.

Gliding around mountains using a special wing-suit; easily up there with parachute skiing as one of the scariest and most exhilarating things I can think of.
The Greatest Maury Clip Ever
Friday, October 12th, 2007
Watching this clip with some friends spawned an afternoon of looking up Maury videos on YouTube. While it was totally worth it, none of the videos even stood a chance at matching up to the amazingness of this one. Just wait until the Tony Scott-like video of Victoria going off on her “bay-beh.”
The worst talent competitor ever
Friday, October 12th, 2007
The internet seems to have already passed through the “collect all information” stage and “enable new ways of doing business” stage and - with this video - may be close to finishing the “compile all the awkwardness ever put to videotape” stage.
Real-Life Warthog vehicle from Halo
Monday, October 8th, 2007
It’s always totally surreal when something makes the leap from fiction to reality and even moreso with the usually-exaggerated realism of video games, which I guess makes this video one of the freakier things I’ve ever seen.
