Mapple

If you missed the Simpsons last night, there was an Apple/iPod story line running through the whole episode. Here's the best part.

Stupid angry mob chasing me because I shine a harsh light on modern society...

TiVo Economics

If you love your TiVo like I do, but want the cold hard facts to prove why, let this smart guy explain it for you.

"Average hourly earnings are around $18, suggesting that TiVo saves time that could otherwise have been sold for around $108 per week. We should also add in the benefit of higher quality television — around $11 per week — and subtract the cost of the annoying service charge, which is around $3 per week, yielding net benefits of $116 per week, or $6,000 per year. The net present value of this flow is around $120,000 per person, or perhaps around a quarter of a million dollars per household. Wow."

Elf Yourself 3: The Legend of Curly's Gold

It's that most wonderful time of the year again, and it's becoming quite the Christmas tradition to Elf Yourself here at work. Once you've seen all five of us doing our classic dance, enjoy the country and charleston versions, and end with my personal favourite, Christmas disco.

Cutest Lil' French Storyteller

This petit raconteuse weaves fantastical tales in a way that makes the little Star Wars girl sound so pedestrian.

Cow Poops On Live TV

This video is as funny as the title. Did he really need to set up a news desk directly in the stable?

No Deal or No Deal

This hurts.

Up & Up

The trailer for the new Pixar movie is here! What can I say, it's the trailer for the new Pixar movie. Why aren't you watching it right now?

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

The world's coolest teenager is going for the world record for longest name by changing his to "Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined". This kid is my hero.

Is Obama President?

If you're not quite sure, you can check isobamapresident.com. If you're on the other side of the fence, why not check ismccainpresident.com instead.

Celebritics

There's been a lot of celebrities getting involved in ads for the upcoming US election, some good, others funny, but I think Natalie Portman and Rashida Jones have presented the most convincing argument either way in this one.

Piano Palin

Some musical genius makes Sarah Palin sound like she's singing in an episode of Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood.

Analog to Digital Conversion PSA

If you're still confused about the upcoming switch from analog to digital television signals, this PSA clears up the confusion once and for all.

Drugs Drugs Drugs

If you automatically sang the next line of the song, you grew up in the eighties and you'll get thrown back there with this video.

Babymaker 3000

As the only minivan I have ever considered, I was actually more interested in the product than the viral marketing, but you know I just can't resist uploading a photo of myself for something stupid. So, I'm proud and a little creeped out to announce our new baby.

Based on the concept presented in this VW commercial.

Calvin and Jobs

These comics combine five of my loves into one.

Thanks to my brother Spence for this one.

Another Day At The Office

The Office starts back up again tonight, and in a tribute to my office (and some inspiration to the students in 4th Year Media Design) I present this class project from last year that is less of an advertisement for the GDMA program and more of a tribute to the show.



Also, my actual office space makes a guest appearance in this video at 0:38.

Amazing Game Footage

Even if you are not the type to watch gameplay footage from video games, you will enjoy this.

I'm A Super Sucker

Two days in a row with these vanity virals, I know, but I just can't resist. That must be my superhero weakness...

High School Dance

Somehow this movie from my high school has been leaked onto the internet. How embarrassing...

Some fun for Friday, as we take an amazing adventure inside the Lego factory. Each video is fascinating, and if you have some time on the weekend, watch them all, especially the Galactic Empire cloning Stormtroopers.

Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?

If you've heard about the Large Hadron Collider or seen the YouTube rap about it, you might be wondering, along with many people, if it has destroyed the world yet. Good thing that you can go to www.hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com and check.

At press time the answer was "Nope", but if you want to know what it will feel like if it does create a gigantic black hole, you can read about it in comically graphic detail here.
