Lots of videos of lightning in slow motion, which is awesome.

"I’ve seen many images of the Earth and Moon together as taken by distant spacecraft, but this, seeing them in motion, really brings home just where we are: a planetary system, an astronomical body, a blue orb hanging in space orbited by a desolate moon

They can flip themselves into the air a bunch of centimeters by snapping their jaws. This video is wonderful.

The mayor of La Paz, Bolivia, has instituted a program where in teenagers dress up as zebras and act as crossing guards. This helps solve the problem of dangerous traffic in La Paz. This is great. Absolutely great.

About thirteen minutes of The Field doing his remix of The Honeydrips' "Fall from a Height" while !!! jam out over it. One of those times I want to say, "that's the best thing I've ever seen." Add this to the surefire-cheer-up list.

A variety of homespun video presentation software for all your art installation needs.

Spectacularly awesome homespun sprite-anime disco gore apocalypse. With happy metal hardcore soundtrack to boot.

Explanatory stills from (and a link to) the fantastic new Spoon video.

Check out "things for sale i will mail you" and everything else. Cute and creative and solemn and exuberant. Wonderful.

"Hi Joe! Hi Jane!"

Not just good.

Typography in motion project for once of Vince Vaughn's rant monologues from "Wedding Crashers." Particularly well done.

One guy's attempt to influence the policy decisions regarding global warming. An introductory video and dozens of supporting videos designed to anticipate every counterargument and criticism.

"Make it a story, a poem, an experiment; just make make make it. It doesn't have to be slick, it doesn't have to have money in it, it just has to be beautiful, honest, great. The first and golden rule: make a video you love for a song that you love."

The head of a company that makes videos go viral explains exactly how it's done. The commenters go crazy. Very interesting in the specific sense, but even more so in the overall evolution of media.

A video interview with the infamous web celebrity "Randy Constan, who has something of an obsession with dressing up as Peter Pan."

Friend Tom Wironen walks across in front of the stage around 0:35. Awesome! Not a bad song, either.

A very nice short history and profile of the Pentagram design and architecture firm.

Fred Armisen and friends do a skit show. It is good.

Oh, Japanese TV.

Absolutely ridiculous. Master Tetris player beats the entire game in record time, including the "invisible tetris" that plays behind the end-game credits.

So far, my favorite of the "Takeaway Shows" series. This is why I love music, plain and simple. Absolutely amazing.

Interesting videos from the experimental electronic musician. The third, "Phases," played behind him when he opened for Deerhunter in Boston in July.

Impressive quadralingual freestyling.

How to build a successful business.

A poem/video by Billy Collins, US poet laureate.

My friend James, master of electronic screwaroundery. You heard it here first.

New Sigur Rós side project. Ambient audio/visual projects. Awesome!!
