Noam sez, "There are so many things to love in this world, so just to point a few of them I've animated the xkcd comic xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel. Singing by the amazing Olga Nunes."

We've posted many times about the use of music in Psy Ops for torture and as a form of "acoustic bombardment" (annoyance) in siege situations like Waco and when Noriega holed up in Panama. Now, famous artists like Pearl Jam, REM, Rosanne Cash, and the Roots filed a Freedom of Information Act demandi... More.

Office Karaoke Video Makes Cubicle Life Fun
There are times I envy those who have to get dressed and go work with other people. Like, for instance, when I watch this awesome karaoke video. I haven't worked in a real office since 2006, so I'm left to conclude that you all totally have this much fun every day. Right? P.S., the best part of t... More.
Green Pink Caviar: Marilyn Minter

Inexplicably expensive iPhone accessory (video stabilizer)
Nathan Bobinchak says: This is a $300 "professional" video grip for the iPhone 3Gs. However, I can't imagine any "professional" choosing to shoot video with their iPhone, much less have a KIT to do it. "Zacuto has the first serious solution for shooting video with the iPhone 3Gs." The advantag... More.

I'm a miserable, angry pessimist, but this made me smile.
This actually increased my optimism regarding the future of mankind.
But whether or not that increase was statistically significant, I'm not sure. I'm still bootstrapping the critical values.
After seeing today's xkcd, I'm feeling rather pessimistic.
Jesus.. I love this.
Oh so much lolz at the very end:
"Robe and wizaaard haaaaaat!"
Bravo!
moar!
That was sweet.
Oh my god, I hated this. Why? I love xkcd. I love positive messaging for technology and the future. So what was it about this that set my teeth on edge? I don't know!!
(I have similar, but not as strong, reactions to This American Life and McSweeney's. A sense of preciousness? Must think on it more.)
this is a Good Thing.
also, @endymion: whaaaaaa? I can usually understand how people feel about things from other viewpoints, but none of that makes sense to me! this american life and mcsweeney's both kick ass. and so does this xkcd thing.
I can't wait for the an XKCD Christmas.
They've done others too

NoamR wins the Internet.
So nice I watched it twice!
I think she should have sung the title-text at the end though.
Also, one of my Captcha words is 'fezes'. It's gonna be a great day!

But where is the hover text?
man that was so sweet. now i want to go fall in love again.
"Robe and wizard hat" at the end cracked me up!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Robe and Wizard hat line at the end totally takes this into megawin status.
