Potter Puppet Pals

This cracked me up!

Potter Puppet Pals

(Although, I'd like to know what happened to Dumbledore's costume halfway through.)

Social Experiment, Black vs. White

It's been a while since I've posted any interesting finds across the internet. Here is one I came across tonight. A high school girl made this film, which recreates a social experiment first done over 50 years ago. Young children are presented with identical dolls, one black and one white. They are asked which they prefer, or which is the "nice" doll. Sadly, the results have not changed in 50 years.

Time on Your Hands?

So, you think you have extra time on your hands? That's nothing compared to this guy! Check him out....

(Star Wars Cantina Band is my favorite one so far.)

Beaches - Otto Titsling

We were talking about this on Babble tonight. Enjoy!

The Hubble Deep Field Video

This is a fascinating video that helps put the actual size of our universe into perspective.

Building Stonehenge

The introduction for the video says:

Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity.

Brainwashing Scene

This is the brainwashing scene from "Lost" run backward. There is a message within it. It's a woman repeating the phrase "Only fools are enslaved by time and space". Very creepy.

In My Language

This is an extremely fascinating video by an autistic woman. The first part is in her "native language" and shows her interacting with the world around her. The second part is her discussing the first part using a computer text-to-speech program. What is also interesting is reading the youtube comment section, in which she participates in the discussion.

This is her website, which I have added in my links: Ballastexistenz

Fishing bloopers

Ha! If you came on earlier today, you'd have seen eight, count 'em eight, of these videos posted, all at the exact same time. I repeat: stupid YouTube. Anyway, I hope the video was worth it. It gave me a chuckle at least.

Numa Numa

This is possibly my very favorite youtube video. Apparently it's the second most watched video on there, and I'm wondering how many of you have seen it before. I love his pure unselfconsciousness, and how much fun he is obviously having! Makes me grin every time his hands go up in the air.

Here's a link to a Wikipedia article on it. Here's a copy of a press release about it, on the maker's own website.

Baby Video

One of my all-time favorite baby videos!

Spray Paint Art

Well shoot, this video from Google Video won't let me post it directly to my blog. I also don't seem to be able to show you an image from his website, even if I directly link it back. Which sort of kills the visual draw factor that I was counting on.

Anyway, go here to see an amazing video of someone who creates artwork using spray paint. No, I'm not talking about your local graffiti king. I mean real landscapes, etc. So go already!

I just came back from watching his second video.

I want that painting!

Panda Sneezes

Daniel's favorite stuffed animal is his panda. (See a few posts down about the Christmas party, first picture.) He's in bed right now, but I can't wait to show this to him tomorrow!

William Joseph

William Joseph, playing Ausperius

Can this man play piano or what??? If you're a music lover, and are looking for a new CD to get for Christmas, I can personally recommend his CD "Within." This particular song isn't on it, but what is there is just as amazing, plus there are many more that are absolutely beautiful. He can play fast or slow, and it's all wonderful. (Not to mention, he's pretty easy on the eyes!)

Here's Kashmir, one of my favorites. It is on the CD.

Here is Carol of the Bells, for a little holiday cheer.

And finally, something his father once challenged him to do, and so he practiced until he could.

If you go here in Amazon.com, and scroll down to see the details of the album, you can listen to samples of each song on the CD. My personal favorite is "Piano Fantasy."

Happy Thanksgiving!

How can anyone watch this and not crack a smile?
