It occurred to me today that I didn’t ever post this video, which is amazing. Not that I didn’t post it. The video. It’s amazing. It’s like bike parcour. Or something.

Some inspirational Monday Morning Music
If ever any female lead singer deserved a Madonna Mic – it’s this lady.
The little mid song interlude is pretty special.
Some aspirational music…
I’m discussing the type of music that should feature on a little promo video for our Theological College. Here are some suggestions.
How to tell the difference between a yo-yo champ and a yo-yo chump
Remember K-Strass? The Yo-Yo Man who tricked his way onto national television in the US. Well. It turns out his ruse should have been much easier to see through. Because real Yo-Yo champions are impressive.
This. Is K-Strass.
Social Media Propaganda: Because the Internet needs you
The social media war is heating up. Soon Google Plus, Facebook, and Twitter will be doing just about anything to get you on board. I’m on all three. And I’ve got to say, for the record, that the number of conversations on each platform about the other platforms is getting a little out of hand.
Anyway. These posters might help you decide.
5,000
That last post. Yep. The one about Taxidermied animals. That was post number 5,000 on this ‘ere little corner of the Internet. I’m pretty proud of that effort. I’ve been going, according to a date calculator thing, for five years, four months and twenty days (1968 days). And in that time I’ve averaged 2.5 posts a day.
I’ve known my blog for longer than I’ve known my wife.
To celebrate, I got hacked. Good and proper. By the Russian mob. Not just this site, but all the sites I manage. I think I’ve fixed it, possibly temporarily. After an almost all nighter. If you see anything amiss please get in touch with me. But in the meantime, I took those hackers. And I THREW THEM ON THE GROUND.
Some cute/kitsch Christian music for your Friday night edification
There’s something irresistible about this video, maybe it’s the matching colours. Maybe it’s the bright house. Maybe it’s the incongruous dog. I don’t know. It’s certainly not the worst or weirdest Christian music on YouTube.
Nor is this, which apart from the ghostly severed heads is pretty cute.
Monkey see, Monkey shoot
It turns out it’s less dangerous (as you’d expect) for a monkey to get hold of a camera, where they’ll take delightful self portraits…
… than it is for a monkey to get hold of a machine gun.
Bay and switch: Transformers scenes taken from older Michael Bay movies
Michael Bay could probably make a blockbuster just out of the off-cuts of his previous works, so it shocks me that he resorts to using bits that aren’t off-cuts at all. Well. Shocks is the wrong word. It’s just clever.
But you can’t get away with it in the YouTube age.
YouTube Parties: Social gatherings 2.0
YouTube Parties. Have you been to one? Some dinners at our place in recent times have turned into such occasions. Especially because of the awesome power of the Apple TV… Anyway. At a YouTube party each guest shares one of their favourite YouTube clips hoping that it’s new and mind blowing. It’s pretty much the reason I blog. And it’s the reason you should send me any terrific clips you come across. Because I wouldn’t want to lose any of my 2.0 street cred.
Anyway. XKCD demonstrates the tension beautifully.
So. Got anything good to share? Lets have a Social Gathering 2.0 2.0. A virtual meeting of the minds. A sharing of treasures.
Friday Tunes: New Third Eagle Song possibly related to Independence Day
I think the music just keeps getting better and better from this guy…
Paranoid Android(s): A YouTube MashUp
Paranoid Android is one of those iconic song covers that everybody who is anybody has in their repertoire. Or so it seems. This is a very cool pastiche of extant YouTube covers of Radiohead’s hit.
Apparently Radiohead loves it. Which isn’t surprising.
Radiohead release song via Internet Video
Radiohead has just released a new track. Called Staircase. In an interestingly Justin Bieberesque fashion. It’s available as a video before it’s available anywhere else. I love the way they’ve continued to play around with distribution.
Ping Pong Party Tricks
Back in my day wasting study time with a ping pong ball involved a table and some friends. These days the table is optional.
