An Anthropological Look at YouTube
Date: July 30, 2008
I follow Michael Wesch’s blog pretty closely, and he’s most recently uploaded a video of a presentation he gave at the Library of Congress. The presentation itself is an anthropological look into the world of YouTube, and it lasts for 55 minutes; it’s well worth a watch if you have the time.
I did find the [...]
Despair continues to warmly cuddle the cynic in me.
Date: July 29, 2008
If there was ever a brand I would be willing to align myself with it’d be Despair’s.

“The Dark Knight” Review: Highly entertaining, not a masterpiece.
Date: July 28, 2008
I really enjoyed this movie, and I would highly recommend anyone who hasn’t seen it to do so. However, I think it should also be made clear that while the overall style of “Batman Begins” is in “The Dark Knight,” this movie is shinier (read: Hollywood eye candy) and less plot-driven than its predecessor. I give it a rating of seven, leaning toward eight, out of ten, but I do not think it deserves anymore than that.
By far, the most amazing performance was Ledger’s as the Joker. He fit the character perfectly, both conforming to old styles and making the character his own. I think Heath Ledger will be remembered most for this role, and while I know some disagree, I think he stole the show a bit with his brilliance.
Goats Climb Trees, Too

From the video description: “Out in Morocco between Marrakesh and Essaouira, goats eating in a tree.” Yes, you read that correctly. Eating in a tree.
This may even beat the fainting goats.

I lawled, then wept.
