Stephen Fry on the Printing Press #

April 18th, 2008 | In Worth Seeing 

Earlier this week, We Made This heaped praise on the internet’s favorite celebrity tech enthusiast’s search for the Gutenberg press, and made me green with envy. Now it’s available on YouTube, though I have no idea how long that will last.

Raining McCain #

March 22nd, 2008 | In Worth Seeing 

At first I dismissed this as a poorly produced piece fan-made internet garbage. Now I’ve watched it at least five times and think it’s the best thing I’ve seen in ages. Long live camp.

Also of note, this video provoked what may be the best YouTube comment in history:

This seals it - the internets need to be banned.

EDIT (3/24/2008): I’ve also written a review of the video as it fits into camp. It’s not great, but you might be interested.

This video is very cool.

Talkin’ ’bout “Poo” #

March 12th, 2008 | In Worth Seeing 

I’m not without a fair share of reservations on this one. For one, I didn’t even make it through the article. For another, “poo” is always entertaining but rarely worth talking about. Regardless, the attached video is entertaining enough for a mention.

The Evolution of the Internet #

This is very neat little video about how the internet began, and how it’s changed the nature of information. Well worth a look.

I — like you — love and loath that little kid videos are so popular. I still feel obligated to share this one.

Still disappointed with whats on TV? In steps this excellent show about well, Mark living in Ikea. Mark Malkoff works on The Colbert Report, and also visited 171 Starbucks in 24 hours last summer.

In an entertaining parody of will.i.am’s “Yes We Can” video, the internets are proud to present people you don’t recognize singing along to the uplifting rhetoric of Senator John McCain.

Video: Charlie Bit Me #

January 3rd, 2008 | In Worth Distraction 

This little video is an entertaining distraction and cure for whatever it is that’s ailing you. Part of it’s appeal is that it’s got cute small children, part of it’s that they’re British. I can’t even count all the parts, and if I did it would take more time than watching it will.
