I was kinda saddened to read this article. I was hoping to build a Death Star someday. Oh well, at least there’s still hope for a Star Destroyer. (via Kottke)

I’m not a huge fan of OK Go’s music as I am of some of their music videos. However, this might be one of the most creative music videos I’ve seen. It’s just jaw-dropping what they did. If only they could have played it during half-time and not point people to the video, it could have won a lot more acclaim (or at least I think it could have).

Oh. And if only they used something other than a Chevy…

I’d hate Tom Brady too if I were this kid. Kinda. Maybe. Not really (since (1) I’m not a Philly fan and (2) Steelers beat the Patriots earlier this year).

The book concept still reminds me kind of the storyline from the Japanese book and movie Battle Royale. Anyway, here’s the trailer for The Hunger Games:

I’ve seen videos like this before. A husky howling to calm down a crying baby. TV shows. And music too… But Biggie Smalls?

… I headed downtown with some guys in my small group this past Monday as part of a serving event we participate in. We get the opportunity to serve Seattle’s homeless dinner with the Lord’s Table, a program that serves the homeless every Monday through Thursday. It’s good in the sense that we know that they’ll get a good hot meal that evening. It wasn’t exactly the warmest weather either.

Here’s a choir using their hands and bodies to emulate a storm. It’s in the first few minutes of this clip:

This is kinda funny: Samuel L. Ipsum. I’ve linked the lite and SFW version (See the upper right hand corner for the NSFW version). It’s an alternative to the Lorem Ipsum that you find in doing dummy text. I recognized a couple of the quotes from there, namely this one from Samuel L. Jackson’s more well known roles:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

Guess which movie this is from? Better yet, what book did he quote this from? (Thanks to Benji for the link).
