I don't have the heart to tell them that's not Hawaii.

A fun little commercial that takes a full minute to get to the explanation of why you've been watching so far.
I won't spoil it.
Just watch this evolution of this couch potato.
Sound of fun dance music not req'd.

This guy is a bit like the black George Clooney.

What's the commercial for? I think if you use it, your dick gets longer.

I love beagles. But they can be annoying. In this case, to the Indianapolis Colt fans.

Actually, this video will clear up nothing, but it's a hoot and worth your time if you're idly looking for some more LOST stuff. It's supposed to cover the previous 5 seasons of LOST.

The video starts out with the creative forces for the show thanking the British audience for supporting LOST and a silly bit about what the next few minutes of the presentation is about.

And then it gets silly. Wait until the explanation about what happened during Season 4!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, LOST Reduced

Steve Jobs gave it to PeeWee personally!

This is time lapse footage taken of the raising of the Airbus A320 that crashed in the Hudson last year. Flight 1549 crashed, and everybody knew about it, and @davidhughmartin had a ring side seat in his apartment overlooking where the jet was pulled and, uh, parked. Most of the footage of this site seen on the major networks was taken from this same window, but @davidhughmartin set up a small Canon compact camera and took the shots you see compiled into a time laspe movie.

You'll be captivated simply by the method dealing with the floating ice floes, and amazed by the sheer size of the big crane used to lift the thing.

Anyone with an SLR type camera has thought about making long exposure "trick" photography. I remember making my first "ghost" photos about 25 years ago. Simple ones where one person stays still, and the the other is in the photograph for only half of the exposure. You can see through the person that moved.

You can also choose to paint with light. Have people interact with the objects you create by moving a flashlight around. It only takes a few hundred long exposure photos, a lot of planning and lots and lots of patience. These Russians are a strange lot.

You paid several billion dollars for this place, so it better look cool.

Fortunately, it does.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the inside of your International Space Station. Hit HD and/or full screen this if you can. It's nicely done, and longer than you think. The videographer is astronaut Jeff Williams.

Yes, I do believe that much of what has transpired 207 miles up there is a waste of money and effort, but while its up there, you might as well try to make it look useful. Every nook and cranny looks stuffed with.. uh, stuff. Perhaps being so far from the rest of us, they can manage to cure cancer, or solve the mideast crisis, or perhaps invent a new flavor of Tang... I could go for some good pomegranate flavored Tang ...

But not exactly what I'd expected after watching the first 2001 A Space Odyssey all those years ago.

When that thing gets deorbited a decade from now, it'll probably be another 40 years before something like that is built in space. Perhaps by then they'll figure out what to do when they get up there.

A young woman having a most extraordinary party.

A Party For One.

Her man is off doing who knows what to who knows whom and the subject of tonight's journey into the
"Land of WTF?" takes a few strange turns while our heroine beckons out to him.
Strange turns that seem to run counter to the laws of space and time.

Especially time.

Hold Me Tiger (for the purposes of this demonstration, you may end the video early as the credits are long and pointless. )

We now return you to your regularly scheduled normality

Soon, global warming will make all of this a distant memory. Or not.

In the meantime, cringe with me as a young driver discovers what not to do when your car encounters ice.

I know 2009 is the best and I'm a gonna let you finish,
but first I gots to play this goodbye video from our friends at JibJab!

It's a short film. It's not a brand new item to the web, but if you haven't seen it, it's a treat.

Just another reason why the Craig Ferguson show is the best show on TV right now

Yes, there's a reason America claimed this guy. The best always come to America.

Craig's 1000th show was a special one, and done with puppets. Even the musical act was brilliant.
