Famous movies re-enacted by bunnies in 30 seconds or less. Yes. That's correct.

I ask one thing of you- watch the Brokeback Mountain one and try not to laugh. I double-bunny dare you. F-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c.

MIT OpenCourseWare: Virtually the Entire MIT Curriculum is Available Free Online for Your Use

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Seven years ago MIT did something extraordinary and if you haven't heard about it you really should. And you should tell everyone you know.

They put the majority of their audio, visual and class lecture coursework online. Free. For all of us to use. Yes, the same information their students get in class, now direct to our home computers to use as a resource, reference and for personal and professional enrichment. Why? Well read farther down for a message from the President.

The courses cover everything from Architecture to Music to Women's Studies. It's a virtual treasure trove that can be utilized by almost every field. So enjoy and poke around the site. I think it's one of the greatest gifts available online. And free, to boot.

Oh, and they have a companion site geared to high school students.

From the President:

"As president of MIT, I have come to expect top-level innovative and intellectually entrepreneurial ideas from the MIT community. When we established the Council on Educational Technology at MIT, we charged a sub-group with coming up with a project that reached beyond our campus classrooms.

"I have to tell you that we went into this expecting that something creative, cutting-edge and challenging would emerge. And, frankly, we also expected that it would be something based on a revenue-producing model -- a project or program that took into account the power of the Internet and its potential for new applications in education.

"OpenCourseWare is not exactly what I had expected. It is not what many people may have expected. But it is typical of our faculty to come up with something as bold and innovative as this, " President Vest commented.

"OpenCourseWare looks counter-intuitive in a market driven world. It goes against the grain of current material values. But it really is consistent with what I believe is the best about MIT. It is innovative. It expresses our belief in the way education can be advanced -- by constantly widening access to information and by inspiring others to participate," said President Vest.

"Simply put, OpenCourseWare is a natural marriage of American higher education and the capabilities of the World Wide Web," he said.

The Numerology of Welcome Back Kotter

Description

Ummm... not sure whether this even deserves the tag entertainment. It's a pretty blatant attempt on my part to mindlessly procrastinate.

Anyhow, if you're looking for a brain break as well this afternoon, check out tarot.com's analysis of each of the Welcome Back Kotter fellows. Someone other than myself had a bit too much time on their hands.....

Ask A Ninja: Question 18 "Minjas"

First to recommend

Description

Ask A Ninja is a Q&A site where... well, readers ask a ninja a question and have it answered in a video response.

This is an oldie but good episode- the question is whether there are midget ninjas. Not to spoil it but the answer is yes.
"They're like urinal cakes. They're little but they're very powerful."

"They'll throw a shruiken and then they'll jump on top of the shruiken and then it'll hit you in the neck and then they'll punch you in the face."

I can't write more. Will start laughing.

Check out the full episode list.

David Blaine Street Magic Part 2

Description

David is back to mess with the same two guys in this installment of a so-far four part sequence and it's magically delicious.

Oh God is it funny. The first time I saw it I kept saying, "Cheezits! Cheezits! Cheezits!" all day until someone rightfully said they would punch me.

Really, ya gotta see all four. But keep the volume low if you're in the office. Expletives galore.

Trunk Monkey Compilation

First to recommend

Description

"Because sometimes, simply getting your car back just isn't enough."

From defending your car to protecting your daughter's chastity to delivering babies, the trunk monkey is a nice feature for any car to have.
Episodes 1-6
___________________________________________
From Wikipedia:
Trunk Monkey is a concept originally created in January, 2000 by Sean Sosik-Hamor, for the automotive group of Subaru enthusiasts in the New England Subaru Impreza Club, or NESIC. The original concept of a "Trunk Monkey" was a small stuffed animal placed in the trunk of a vehicle which came alive and jumped from side to side to help distribute weight during "spirited driving maneuvers".[1]

The Trunk Monkey television ads, loosely based on this concept, were created in 2003 by the advertising agency R/West in Portland, Oregon. Originally created for the Suburban Auto Group of Sandy, Oregon, the syndicated commercials are now the primary source of revenue for the agency. The series of commercials has been licensed to at least 45 car dealerships around the United States as well as New Zealand.

Food Fight: An abridged history of American-centric warfare told through food

First to recommend

Description

Very cool. Very interesting.

______________________________
from the site:
An abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict.

For a breakdown of the actual battles portrayed in the film, visit:
http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfi...

For the official cheat sheet (breakdown of the foodstuffs), visit:
http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfi...

Now, to answer some FAQs...
- The food in this film was consumed either by myself or my dog after shooting. None of the cast went to waste.
- The software used was photoshop and after effects.
- The film took me 3 months to do.
- Although it seems like stop motion, most of it was stop motion created within After effects, using keyframe animation. I am basically moving the food around within the the program, frame by frame, which is the same as traditional stop motion, only it's digital.

MythBusters - Do Pretty Girls Fart?

First to recommend

Description

An unaired episode of Mythbusters that tests the age-old question, "Do Women Pass Gas?"

Best line? "That's totally unacceptable- you have to generate one on camera."

Although "Can I take the microphone out of my butt now?" is a close second.

Very funny. Test it out in your own office.
