online video killed the …

minivan highway – 3 odd guys making odd music.

Play him off, keyboard cat – gah, they had to spoil it with a cat video. but still funny.

Susan Boyle – Singer – Britains Got Talent 2009 – "47 Year old Susan Boyle wows the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britains Got Talent, singing I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables." i am also 47 years old… and you know you are way out of touch, when your mum tells you about this.

schmooze and abuse

bio-bak.nl – now featured in 1000 megapixels! – a pretty whacky webdesign, that.

Famous Last Tweets – "Allowing celebrities to reach out to their fan base in such a direct manner must keep their management teams in high alert, which makes us wonder what would’ve happened if troubled stars from years past had known the power of Twitter. We did a little soul/Twitter searching and came up with a collection of "Famous Last Tweets" that sadly never were."

To Tweet or Not to Tweet – "You say the brevity of Twitter enhances creativity. So I wonder if you can keep your answers to 140 characters, like Twitter users must." and the twitterites did a great job. it’s all in the subtext, baby.

Blogger Wrote Sensationalistic Post Title … And Was Burned at The Stake! – "Alex titled his post "Daughter Helps Dad Fight Cancer … By Breastfeeding Him!" – a sensationalistic and misleading title that led Neatorama readers to believe that the woman in question had actually let her father suckle on her breast (like Pero in the Roman Charity, as pointed out by fellow reader TwoDragons) – rather than giving him breastmilk that she had pumped earlier in the day." that’ll teach ya. or not.

Ooh-la-la indeed: Maggie Wang's Fruit Brute, Space Channel 5 Sack-dolls – "My two favorite (as above), an Ulala Sackgirl, inspired by Tetsuya Mizuguchi's neo-future swinging-60's rhythm game Space Channel 5, and (far more left field) the Fruit Brute Sackboy, indeed inspired by the long-forgotten General Mills cereal mascot." that’s sackboys, KNITTED! i motherfucking want one.

The Unusuals – this tv serie looks very cool … [via bb]

LEGAL/LAWYER OUTSOURCING WINS VICTORY IN ALI G LIBEL CASE – "Seems a woman who once knew the comedian claimed that Cohen [on HBO’s Da Ali G Show] libeled her by name during a spoof interview with historian Gore Vidal by claiming to have had sex with her […] To the contrary, it is obvious that the Ali G character is absurd, and all his statements are gibberish and intended as comedy. […] No reasonable person could think otherwise.” caps not mine.

Google Maps Typography – "Over the course of several months beginning October 2008 to April 2009 I've spent some of my spare time between commercial projects searching Google Maps hoping to discover land formations or buildings resembling letter forms." [via schwitzmitz]

Susan Boyle could be biggest YouTube hit of all time – "Susan Boyle's Britain's Got Talent video is on track to become the most popular video in the history of YouTube, amassing nearly 100 million views in its first nine days and earning the producers of the program a serendipitous, potential windfall that should already be in the millions."

A feature known as Similar Images uses a picture rather than text to find other matching images. Timeline presents information already available in Google News but organised and displayed chronologically."

Keine physische, sondern eine virtuelle Reise via Satellitenverbindung und Glasfaserkabel, die den zentralen Fragen unserer Zukunft nachspürt. Pressemappe_PK_80plus1_090421.pdf"

WOW Pod: For the Professional Raider – "Modeled after a Horde hut, the WoW pod is designed to be an "immersive architectural solution" for advanced World of Warcraft players with in-game responsibilities that keep gamers chained to their computers, unable to step away from the MMORPG for even a couple minutes. In addition to housing a computer and its necessary peripherals for playing the addictive title, the WoW pod offers canteens filled with spring water, a toilet built into the seat (which has surround sound speakers), a hot plate, and food packs." unbelievable as it may seem, this project is real … omg
