I don’t think I’ve ever seen an aviation shot as amazing as the one above. Visit the Airliners.net for more information or for a larger version of the photo.
Amazing Moon Shot
Weekly Echo
Part of a hopefully regular feature stolen from inspired by Norman Roberts’ blog innings.
You should definitely visit the Weekly Echo site, as the images have hyperlinks to pertinent news stories of the week…
Hipster Pack
fimoculous clued me in to Hipster Pack – A Douchebag of Music Videos, a massive 40GB torrent of 1371+ music videos in various formats. You’ll definitely want to use a BitTorrent client like µTorrent or Azureus that allows you selectively download files within the torrent, as more than likely you won’t be interested in all of those videos…
Pink Floyd : Echoes
Pink Floyd: Echoes is an amazing interactive site featuring music tracks, videos, lyrics, and statistics for “The Best Of Pink Floyd.”
Bring Me The Head Of Charlie Brown
Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown is a hilarious Google Video:
Charlie Brown is on the run from the Peanuts Gang after the Great Pumpkin puts a bounty on his head in this wild animated student short by Jim Reardon.
Watching Charlie Brown turn into Travis Bickle is the highlight of the video, but I’ll warn you that the violence might make this video NSFW.
The Boing Boing post where I found this also mentions Billy Schulz, a YouTube video “mockumentary about the illegitimate son of Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz.”
Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase
Joan C. Gratz’s video Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase (YouTube) uses claymation to morph the works of 35 artists into each other. Pretty neat…
Politics as Baseball
In his Monday entry, zefrank describes politics as if he were calling a baseball game (QuickTime video). Hilarious…
Bruno Kirby Dead At 57
Cinematical reports that actor Bruno Kirby died at the age of 57 due to “complications related to leukemia.” This is quite shocking considering his age and his relatively recent diagnosis.
To summarize his career with a soundbite from City Slickers greatly diminishes the true breadth of his career, but I have to agree with Cinematical and admit that I can still hear him ranting about cows and VCRs… 🙂
Shut up! Just shut up! He doesn’t get it! He’ll never get it! It’s been 4 hours! The cows can tape something by now! Forget about it please!
Bruno Kirby’s other memorable movie roles included the young Clemenza in The Godfather: Part II, Robin Williams’ nemesis in Good Morning, Vietnam, and Billy Crystal’s best friend in When Harry Met Sally, among many others. He will truly be missed… 🙁
Update: Popwatch has a nice tribute to Bruno Kirby, but the highlight of the post is the comments section; all of the reminiscences about favorite Kirby movie and TV moments are really a testament to the impact Kirby had as an actor…
Speedtest.net
Speedtest.net is a really cool way to determine your Interweb upload and download speeds, allowing you to record transfer speeds to and from various servers all over the world and even share those data with others. Indispensable…
Blaupunkt TV Ad
This Google Video of a Blaupunkt TV commercial is pretty funny…
