Short Videos of Hilarity and Originality, and The Kindness of a Friend
.: Various people including Keith and Taras forwarded some of these links to short videos, most of which are on Glumbert.com. Each is worth a look.
- Stop Motion Battle – I cannot imagine how long it to to film this, and then edit it; it’s brilliant
- What Happens When Graphic Artists Get Bored – idle minds can be quite creative
- The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain – a new take on Kurt Cobain
- Cat Obsessed With Flushing A Toilet – a lot of water down the, er, drain
- If Martin Scorses Made A Movie of Sesame Street – yes, the language is foul, you’ve been warned, but what else would you expect from Scorsese?
- Wood Spiders on Drugs – as might be reported by the Canadian Wildlife Service
.: Speaking of Keith, he is due some props. Last December, I wrote about my Dell Dimension 4400 freezing and crashing after I connected a 320GB external drive to one of its USB ports. The machine froze because its USB ports, all 1.1, could not handle the Maxtor, designed for USB 2.0 and Firewire connections. It took me a few weeks to recover the data on the hard drive, and get it functional again. A few days subsequent to the blog entry, Keith appeared at my house with a “Christmas card” – a USB 2.0 card, which he proceeded to install in the Dell, giving it four 2.0 USB ports. His generosity and kindness didn’t end there however – knowing that the four new ports would be on the back of the computer, he also brought a USB extension cable, so that I wouldn’t need to turn the computer around every time I wanted to use one of the 2.0 ports. Thank you, Keith, for making my life a wee bit easier.
