Weezer Does It Again

Weezer has had some of the best music videos of all time, and they've done it again with the "best music video ever for the internet age" as my friend Chris puts it. Catchy song, too.

If you enjoy the video, you can also watch their intro, the Daft Dancers promoting the album, and a very special Weezer "Will It Blend?" episode.

If you don't understand the video, they've collected all their YouTube inspirations here.

Oprah Audience Goes Crazy

This clip captures some of the emotion I am feeling on this, my last day of work before paternity leave.

Free Sippy Cups

Attention all parents (or anyone else who has trouble drinking out of regular cups): Avent is giving away free samples of their new magic sippy cups, and all you have do is call 1-866-624-1906 (in Canada) and say you heard about the promotion.

Apparently there is a 7oz one with a soft spout for infants and a 9oz one with a hard spout for toddlers, and they're giving them away because they're now Bisphenol A free and they want to advertise that. Avent is one of the ones that actually does (or did) use BPA and is often shown on news reports about how bad the chemical is, so it kinda makes sense that they would do this. However, free is free...

Every Simpsons Couch Gag Ever

They could make an entire episode out of this: every couch gag from every episode of The Simpsons, compiled into one super-fast montage. If you're a super-nerd, you can also watch the 20 minute regular-speed version here.

Some of my faves from the regular speed one: stomping the FOX logo at 3:07, not even making it inside at 5:12, the amazing Rocky & Bullwinkle parody at 6:30, meeting the original badly drawn Simpsons at 7:26, a Peanuts homage at 8:46, guest appearance by Fry from Futurama at 8:48, the behind-the-scenes animation at 9:45, Matt Groening making cameos at 7:34 and 9:49, the Batpoles at 10:56 followed by hilarious Japanese superheroes, the mega-universal zoom at 11:27, claymation Gumby at 13:31, attack of the couches sequence at 13:52, the TiVo one at 13:46, a real live family at 15:26, the evolution of Homer at 16:52, built out of Lego at 18:09, Magritte at 19:05, and the best one to finish with at 12:29.

Space Boomerang

It seems to go against all the laws of nature, but there it is: a boomerang in space works.

May Days of 2008

Today starts a string of wacky observances every day in May, beginning with International Band T-Shirt Day. What started as a family thing on Facebook has apparently blown up, as 14,869 have confirmed attendance, and another 3,766 might show up. Pick and choose the events you will be attending...
