Prepare for MowZilla!

I’ve been away from my blog for a month, but couldn’t resist starting back on a good note with this entertaining piece. Enjoy!

So Team USA is Out of World Cup 2006…

Maybe this video will cheer you up.

My stepfather, a BIG soccer fan, was saying that most *Americans/Canadians* think that soccer is just a bunch of guys fake falling and faking injuries. I think this video really highlights those suppositions. What do you think?

POTUS Sings U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday”

This mash-up video of George W. Bush’s speech is by Opie and Anthony, a radio duo of shock jocks who work on the floor below us and can sometimes be seen doing their show on the street.

“All Websites Aren’t Created Equal”

So says Monticello Explorer while doubly acknowledging their Webby Award for Cultural Institutions and keeping their acceptance speech within the required five-word maximum. (For a good time, read them all here.)

Some quick favs:

          ***A must-see website!***

This just in from Thomas Friedman, Person of the Year: "The world is really flat."

Blue Screen of Death, Nevermore

One of the things I won’t see now that I’ve been seduced away from the Dark Side by Apple. Wikipedia has a great history of Microft’s well-known (to Windows users) error screen. Even Bill Gates can’t get away from the monster he created. Below he’s unveiling Windows 98.

       

The World Cup is Here!

Around New York, many bars in niche cultural neighborhoods are exclusively showing their home country’s football games, this time held in Germany.

What a city! To be able to see such a variety of national spirit in such close proximity is excellent.

If you’re new to football, like me, and need some help with the game go here.
For help with lingo that will just get you by, go here.

Along with the games come sponsors. Here’s a good viral video worth watching.

An introduction to this video in unnecessary. Enjoy!

Everybody Was MacBook Fighting

It was only a matter of time before some geek figured out how to use the new Apple MacBook as a lightsaber. By utilizing the standard motion-sensor feature that stops the hard drive when it tracks unordinary movement, such as accidentally elbowing your notebook off a table onto the floor. And don’t you know it wouldn’t be long after that that some other geek would reenact a Star Wars fight scene with his new MacBook.

YouTube.com: Webcam Girls Gone Wild

This video from YouTube.com is a good example of how websites are getting viewers to voluntarily watch their ads and then go to their websites. The new generation of attracting traffic on the web is by releasing videos like this one and hope that they become viral.
