Still not having much time to browse for good stuff or write anything meaningful, here are two funny videos:
- Spiders on drugs
- Demetri Martin standup comedy: 1, 2, 3
Enjoy. (via Digg)
SNL iPhone Parody Video
I still think the iPhone is great, but this Saturday Night Live parody on Steve Jobs is too funny to skip. But you need to watch Steve Jobs’ iPhone introduction on the Apple website (link to the keynote video) to get it.
Program Yourself To Be Happy Video
As some of you may have noticed, I don’t have much time to write stuff lately. Today will be a short one as well: a “mind reprogramming” video designed to make you feel happy. It’s pretty cool. (via Digg)
WOW
Wow. That’s the only thing I can say about the new Apple iPhone. Wow.
(also: I want one)
LEGO Car Building LEGO Factory Video
Confused by the title? You should be. It’s a factory made out of LEGO blocks, which creates cars made out of LEGO blocks. It’s extremely geeky, but still a pretty amazing fit. You didn’t know you could do that with LEGO when you were kids, right? I sure didn’t. Check out this video. It’s a bit long, but pretty cool (and extremely geeky).
We’re Officially Approaching Bubble Status. Everyone Hold Tight
On September 4th, 2006 I asked if we were in a new bubble (previous post link). Although I don’t think it was so hard to see it coming, it seems that now is the time to give a smug smile and say: I was right. We are seeing startups starting to close shop and investors being careful about investing in anything that says “Web 2.0”. Before the bubble burst in the year 2000, any company that added the “.com” suffix to their name (news article about those crazy times) got great investments for no apparent reason.
Now Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, a blog which (also) covers startups and even has a DeadPool tag for those that didn’t make it (see all the companies in there) writes an article called “Bubble, Bubble, Bubble”. Need I say more?
Maybe I should get back to work now.
Man Buys TV After 32 Years Without
A guy, who simply didn’t own a TV for 32 years decided to go and buy one. A New York Times article covers this story (free registration required), in which the guy shares his observations about modern TV (programming, watching it, time shifting and so on).
Interesting Materials
New Scientist Technology Blog reviewed 5 “fun” materials, which behave very differently from our perceived solid/liquid/gas categories. Videos and links are also in there. (via Slashdot)
Accurate Shots Videos
Are accurate shots the next online-driven sport? Not really, but they are still fun to watch:
- Accurate ping pong shots videos: 1, 2.
- Accurate garbage can shots video.
Whose Line Is It Anyway With Richard Simmons Video
I used to love the show “Whose Line Is It Anyway” (show page on TV.com). Unfortunately, it’s not aired any more (except for some un-aired episodes). Luckily, some videos of the show are online, and here are few of the funnier minutes (if not the funniest ever) of the show.
