Friday Videos - March 9th, 2018

posted March 9, 2018 #

Fun fact, I'm posting this from the past for your enjoyment in the future, as you read it now, in the present. So, if something bonkers happened between Wednesday evening and Friday morning that really feels like it should be noted here, I apologize.

Assuming that's not the case, enjoy!

Never Give Up - from the game Mad Skills BMX 2.. just wait through it. The perfect metaphor for perseverance.
Yea, I'm a big Queen fan - everything wrong about this makes it incredibly right.
Homepod by Spike Jonze - 1) definitely the best thing about the Homepod so far and 2) best use of Pixel Stretch since... 2002?
Howling III Transformation - jump to 1:12 and watch a rather bizarre and amusing transformation from ballet dancer to full-on werewolf. Unique! There's more where that came from in this movie if you need it; i.e. this insanity.
Guy Puts GoPro on Sushi Train - it's a "slice of Japanese life" and I'm not sure if it's fake or not, at all. But, regardless, I found it soothing and enjoying to watch. Except for the solid 30 seconds where the camera is in the trash, that could have been edited out.
Gleaming Spires - Are You Ready for the Sex Girls - you possibly remember this song from Revenge Of The Nerds but please enjoy the fact that this is an early 80's music video in which the band members simply bake a lemon merengue pie. Brlliant.
Drunks Man argues with his own reflection - have you ever reached this level of inebriation? If so, seek help.
The Majestic Plastic Bag - it's a mockumentary from 2010 and it's more than a little sad but it's also funny and worth a watch.

Find yourself needing an additional treat, listen to this John Linnell song... I'd managed to forget existed and, upon rediscovery, remembered how much I still love it. OR listen to this Michael Jackson cover of YMO, bizarre.

Let's meet the most famous cat in Vietnam atm. His name is Chó (meaning "Dog" in Vietnamese) and he's a fish vendor. He loves wearing costumes too. https://t.co/r55tE4kiKc

FYI synthwave/outrun/whatever you call it, is a genre of music dominated by primarily white men. this hurts it as a genre. it limits the point of view. it also opens the door to rampant misogyny. do yourself a favor and don’t normalize that.

Something mysterious has been happening to some clocks on the European continent. From Portugal to Poland, from Denmark to Turkey, some clocks have been running slow. And it’s all because of a row between Serbia and Kosovo. A thread. https://t.co/WVZXUVom48

Is ModCloth trolling or just appealing to their base with perfection?

Marcus Hutchins, The Gray Hat Hacker

posted March 7, 2018 #

In case you missed it as a favorited tweet, take some time to read through this Reeves Wiedeman piece on March Hutchins, Gray Hat Hacker. It's an interesting tale that involves several global cyberattacks, FBI members and possibly a dark past. It's fascinating to get a closer inside look on the WannaCry ransomware attack and the Kronos Trojan, straight from an individually (potentially) involved with both.

Devin Goebel

Really enjoying this Ad Space show from Devin Goebel. The pieces are comprised of various letterpress carvings from Will T. Hatch, created 70 some odd years ago and made infamous at the Hatch Show Print printing press. It's remarkable that these carvings that have been used for so long still have life in them dependent on who is creating with them. Goebel's prints may have an air of "vintage" to them but they feel completely fresh.

On display now at the actual Hatch Show Print gallery in Nashville but you can also see a great deal of it here.

Podcasting is already the future, and present, of the creation and consumption of spoken-word audio. We need none of these things, and we need none of the proprietary platforms that try to bring those things. Podcasting is already winning, using the power of the open web. https://t.co/Qan4CZCDNO
