An amazing beatboxer

This video is well worth the watch.  With no editing he creates a complete song on his own.  At 3:18 he even slows the whole thing down into slo-mo. [via- now with permalinks!]

Make me uneasy

Watching this video [via] made my stomach turn.  I can’t imagine what it must be like to have no control over your car.  I also can’t really imagine why you’d try and drive in those conditions either.

Via jkottke this video for Uniqlo.  Watch it with sound if possible.  It’s an amazing job.

The powers of myspace

Via Waxy I found this page that has hunted down the myspace profiles of some of the contestants that have been on American Idol so far this season.  Some of the contestants have already edited their profiles and such to remove incriminating and potentially disqualifying evidence.  I have to say that this season has been quite boring so far.  I’ve actually gotten up and left the room because it just felt like they were rehashing the same tricks and poor performances that we’ve seen countless times before.

Update: Round #2!

Insane weather

It’s absolutely insane and to be honest a little scary that I can be outside on January 11th without a jacket on and not feel cold.

A brilliant idea

It’s about time someone came up with something like this (for Canada).  [via]
