Things I Think Are Kinda Cool

If you’ve “surfed the Internet” before, you’ve no doubt seen a video of a someone who’s taken a picture of themselves every day for a year and then edits the photos into a sappy montage set to life-affirming “American Beauty”-style xylophone music.  Maybe it’s the improved music, maybe it’s the way his hair has a life of its own…but this time-lapse video puts the others to shame.  This guy took a photo of himself every day for 8 years.  I haven’t worked on any project for more than 6 continuous months, let alone 8 YEARS, so if anything, he deserves an award for that.  It also confirms that every guy has tried sporting a mustache at least once in his life, with 95% of us realizing after a few days that we look like massive idiots.

Way back in my day, we hung out in AOL chat rooms and bought CDs.  We also drank Everclear and did keg stands to celebrate the end of a semester.  Nowadays, irony-loving whippersnappers (from U of Mississippi) perform hidden camera dance numbers from films already in the bargain DVD bin.  (I know I may sound snarky, but the nerd in me still thinks this is kinda cool).

It doesn’t get much better than Inigo Montoya fighting for his father’s honor…with a lightsaber.

OK Go has created another viral video jaw-dropper…I’ve always loved these “Mousetrap”/Rube Goldberg chain-reaction videos – this one takes the genre to a whole other level.  Sit back and enjoy – I guarantee you’ll watch it until the very last frame.

I’m not really a cat person, but this one RULES.  Check out what happens when a bear pays this family a visit…wow.
