Worst company in America 2008

Consumerist is running their annual poll to find the Worst Company in America - I'm assuming that this means the U.S. Big surprise, Comcast is currently leading this dubious race. I know that's who I voted for. Those evil bastards.

A three year old's summary of Star Wars

Too darn cute.

Virtual Reality tech

Here's a cool bit of technology that this guy whipped up using the technology built into the Nintendo Wii. At around 2:30 he starts his demo with a comparison of a normal screen and then goes into the virtual reality part. PI wonder if in the future we'll all be wearing head detectors with our TVs...

999 - Homicide

I had an LP by these guys back in high school. This was definitely one of my favorite songs.



Emergency is also pretty darned good.

Polyphonic Spree - We Crawl

I like the concept of the video here. It feels very personal , and gives you a better view into the band members lives. Fun!

Mushroom Horse Mask Dance

I love mushrooms. Yet, this is just plain nutty. Apparently he's a Japanese performance artist. Not exactly sure what his message is from this performance...

Wiener Poopie!

A couple of videos from Ignite Portland

Here are a couple of videos that I recorded at Ignite Portland this past Tuesday.

First, here's how you can be part of the oldest profession in the world.



And next, here's why Germans love David Hasselhoff. You've always wanted to know, haven't you?

The SUV from hell

This looks like something that a third world dictator would have to help keep him in power. Oh wait, it's from the US Secret Service. Right.

File this under WTF

Hawaii chair? What does this have to do with Hawaii? I sure didn't see any when I was there this past August. It's definitely NOT ergonomic.

Post-it animations

This video from a Russian brass band shows off what you can do with a pad of Posti-it notes and a digital camera.

I can only do this with Bambi

The Headlights

Love this band. Their new CD comes out in February. If this first song is any indication, I'm willing to bet that the entire CD will shine.
