This guy is impressive. Probably the most impressive thing I’ve seen on YouTube today…

DIY Angry Birds
If I were crafty I’d make these. But I’m not that kind of crafty. Instead – I’ll craftilly put this out there and hope that crafty people in my life get the message and make them for me.

Got a link you don’t want clicked. Or that you only want clicked by idiots who are more likely to give you their username and password for something?
Shady URL is here to help.

Shirt of the Day: Music I no longer like…
One of the things I love the IT Crowd for is the T-shirts. I saw this one. And I had to find it in the real world.
You can get it from here.
Incredible Coin Stop Motion
From two guys who call themselves Ninja Moped and do awesome stuff. They want to make a music video flinging 62 pianos over 100 metres in the air. At stuff. How awesome.
You might remember them from this 8-Bit lego stop motion.
Bohemian Rhapsody: Stringy edition
I’m a sucker for a Bohemian Rhapsody cover. Here it is arranged for violin.
Via 22 words.
P.S. I’m loving YouTube’s new iframe embed code. That’s a pretty geeky thing to mention – but it makes the embed thing a lot more html compliant. Speaking of which… I am going to be tweaking my design again in the next few days… hoping to iron out some glitches. So if there’s anything you don’t like currently – tell me in the comments.
HaikuLeaks: Wikileaks in Japanese poem form
Some people out there aren’t big fans of Haikus. Those 5/7/5 Japanese poems. I am not some people. I even resigned my job with the power of Haiku. So I’m impressed with this website that searches the wikileaks site for naturally occurring haikus. Like these:
Instead, he gulped three
cans of Coca-Cola while

He added that there
should be ‘no blank checks, no checks

The vessels are met
either on shore or a short
distance off the coast.
It uses a snippet of code that you can run over any text you want. Which you can get here.
Six fun things to do with your new video camera
Did you get a video camera for Christmas? Wondering what cool projects you can use it for? I have some answers. Six, in fact.
Buy a sword. Attach it to the end.
Set yourself up as a first person shooter.
Do the (previously posted) third person car set up (language warning)
Attach the camera to a big helium balloon and send it into space (dizziness warning)
Follow this instructable and see yourself in third person. Computer game style.
I didn’t get a video camera for Christmas – but I did get one just before we went overseas. And I got a remote controlled helicopter (like every other male child adult this year). I don’t know how it would go if I attached one to the other… but here’s a purpose built cameracopter – that can be controlled by the power of iPhone. Which is awesome.
Beer Art: painted in beer
This is cool. An artist named Donna Munsel produces/paints art using beer (amongst other things – here’s her portfolio).
Comic Sans Criminal: Sign the Pledge
This is a nice bit of anti-Comic Sans propaganda – comicsanscriminal.com – that you should be aware of. Especially if you are a church. Please delete that font from your computers. There is no good reason to be using it in 2011.
Keep this in mind:
Although, apparently it is good for dyslexics.
You can even sign this pledge at the end.
