Video
I ended up with a lot of YouTube video in my notes today so I decided to use them all in one shot.

Blow up a building with color - I was expecting the building to be messier when it was all finished.
I don't agree that this is the best ad in the world, but still well done animation.
Egg: "An impressive award winning short animation from China."
Cockroach vs. weatherman
Light emitting shirts - Remember the story about the light emitting fabric other other day? Here's what it looks like.
Cool just for the spark. Who knew disposable cameras packed that kind of juice? And they allow those things on planes?
The screen rolls up into the device. Assuming it's durable enough not to crack after a few thousand unrollings, this is the answer to the conflict between the desire for small devices and the need for a screen that isn't the size of a postage stamp.
How to Hack a Diebold Voting Machine - Someone in the comments section argues that this could never happen in a voting booth, but damn.
... is that it's hard to see you in a different role. Case in point,
McGuyver guy on SG1.
I've been a regular viewer of Lost from the start, so I'm a little embarrassed to say I wasn't aware that there were random clips of video around the Internet that could be assembled to give more clues and background into the story. Luckily, this guy was aware of it.
This is as close to a one-liner as a 911 operator gets. I'd be interested to know the full story since obviously the caller knows his name and he knows not to take her very seriously. NOTE: Page has some ads on it with a girl in a thong. Potentially unsafe.
New engine combusts old ideas - The Scuderi engine is a split cycle engine. The article includes a very helpful 4 minute video of what that means. The claims are exciting, but I'm still having trouble imagining what kind of power comes from a cylinder that fires with the piston already on the way down.
The advertising for shavers has become so ridiculous (not to mention the actual products) that I have half a mind to switch to
wet shaving just to spite the industry. Plus, the idea of having a "kit" full of tools and a shaving ritual has real appeal.
It's a video
tour of a massive Web storage facility. When they talk about "soft targets" for terrorism, this is the kind of place that comes to my mind first. I know the point of a "net" is that it's distributed, but still, there are hubs in the system that would turn the country upside down if anything ever happened. (Sounds like they're prepared though.)
I've played this
acoustic version of Hey Ya four times in a row. Slammin'.
