Every once in a while a video comes along that is so poetic and interesting, you can’t help but share. Thanks, Jan (shared via Twitter).

I couldn’t help reflect on my commute this morning about how very sad the iPad must be from the scathing reception he’s received. Perhaps he’s hurting deep down, and needs to vent in a “hater” vlog. So I gave him the chance. It was fun to watch the faces of people as I drove up…
Some call it “virality.” YouTube Broker called it Viralaliscicy. Let’s call it “Viralacticy,” a play on viral and “elasticity.” What’s the formula for viralacticy of a viral video advertising? It’s simple. Punch x Message = Impact. Scenario 1: Let’s say for instance, that we had a viral ad that delivers a killer punch. (Punch is…
It was absolute torture to be spending 3 hours on my 1-hour commute (snow) and not having the time to parody the iPad. So many thoughts, and no time to make a video. But I took solace in finding that MidnightBlade created this brilliant parody of Hitler’s response. The Hitler parodies are not new, and…
A little video montage by Jan Hatzius, chief U.S. economist for Goldman Sachs. He’s positive on 2011, but says it will take 5 years before employment returns to what we consider normal. Dug this up after hearing a few “Debby Downer” friends moan about the economy, and wondering if they were creating their own realities….
I usually don’t make a lot of noise about a contest I’m entering, and I’ve been entering fewer lately. The competition is high, and I rarely win (although often I’m a finalist). The Oreo contest intrigued me because certain YouTube creators were asked to enter, and I figured that would improve my odds. There’s going…

That was so deep… I’m going to go make my own work of art. It’s brown and bigger than a dot… the canvas is a white porcelain bowl.
Thanks for passing that along. Added it to http://tech.arlingtonlibrary.org crediting your blog for where I found it and the artist, as well. Really stunning.
he did a really good job, eh?
I love those motion thingies. So cool.
Thanks, Kevin!
That was pretty cool, even if it did sound vaguely like a Dr. Seuss book.
Where is marquis
When I finished watching, I felt a sudden yet deep sorrow that I was too young to have attended Woodstock…….
Thanks, Onmyphone. 🙂
Ahem. Okay. My turn.
Anniversary
(A true story)
by Marquisdejolie
On the anniversary of your return
to this toxically antiseptic purebred mongrel aluminum-sided
country of ingeniously lobotomized pastel-colored Greed clones,
You decided IT.
With the high infidelity-travelling worst class religious
three-piece suit disguised mind masturbating fascists
and their herpes infected quiche-eating debutante consorts
scavenging through your pockets,
And their by-product puke-haired sexless New Wave psuedo intellectual
soda pop sophisticate sons and daughters
with THEIR neo-liberal arts concept of cheaply-paid-for individualism media broadcast through your sensibilities,
And the tired Catholic recalibrations of politically expediant
mass market tested logical positivist back door morality
shorting out your heart and brain,
And brother veterans’ ceaseless whining to and panhandling from
the guiltless ridden draft-deferred de rigueured shame accountants
embarrassing you to your patriotic core,
IT decided YOU.
With ALL decided,
you stepped into your over-mortgaged
imitation life father knows best den,
sat in your favorite recovered lumpy
hand-me-down Gerber-stained lounge chair,
put the barrel of your NRA approved
Brazilian-made blue metal .38 in your mouth,
cocked the hammer,
and fired.
In cold October.
I miss you.
And now,
my Octobers
are colder.
