Lex sent me this after I had sent him a number of videos he might like.

I envision having a chat channel where clips and sites are shared even within my small household.
Those mobile lounges (or people movers as we call them) from Dulles Airport are now gone. (via Sus)
via en.wikipedia.org
These were a huge image from my childhood since I lived near Dulles airport. My sister now tells me they are no more. Which is probably a good thing, we do things better now. But I'll miss those moon buggies and their superflous ability to dynamically raise and lower themselves.

AMAZING VIDEO WEIRDNESS (via @ElleryTheJones)
via youtube.com
This reminds me of the TV tapes the crew of Chaos Theory made full of weird stuff we gleaned from TV that (@puptent) would mix together. Good (strange, incomprehensible) times.

LOST: Flight 815 Crash in Real Time
via youtube.com
This is amazing. I'm trying to catch up on Lost before the final season starts. I do have to say that watching it every night, or sometimes several times a night is my preferred method. I like the way it handles ambiguity.

Physicst Proves That R2D2 Is Lighter Than Styrofoam (via io9)
Physicst Proves That R2D2 Is Lighter Than Styrofoam
A physicist carefully examined the way R2D2 flies in Attack of the Clones, and has come to a startling discovery. Examining the thrust of R2's flight, then adding in gravity and resistance, he discerned that R2's mass is 100 grams.
While I love this kind of thing, it does make me a little sad. All fiction shouldn't have to be correct down to the molecular level.
Phil Foglio is releasing MythAdventures Comics as a comic online.
I so dug these books when I was a kid. And now the comic version is being released online! The future is awesome.

Hello, Goodbye! A guide to waving in the country
via youtube.com
This is a film made by Kristin Windbigler for the 2010 National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. She was my editor back at Webmonkey, and if you look closely at some of the actors and the credits and the music, you can see the high tech hand of the monkey in this film about the country.
While playing this Lex asked "Is the Internet really made out of cats?" I told him it was a series of tubes.

The OK cupid blog is fascinating even if you are not dating but just interested in data driven psychology. And if you are currently trying to do the online dating things, well the numbers don't lie.
Videogame Statistics
None of this is a surprise to me. Though I'm kinda curious in the breakdown of the average gamer age.
FARMVILLE!!!
via youtube.com
Normally I don't have a problem with these games since they have made a lot more people into gamers. But please stop telling me about your cows and ducks! Luckily Facebook allows you to mute applications directly these days.

Final Season Of 'Lost' Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever
via theonion.com
My annoying theory is that the others are all part of the Unseelie court of faeries. But to be quite honest I've only gotten to season 4, currently watching it all now on streaming Netflix.

Tolstoy Goes Steampunk in "Android Karenina" - io9
Tolstoy Goes Steampunk in "Android Karenina"
The latest scifi/lit mashup to emerge from Quirk Books, publishers of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, is a silly re-imagining of the famously humorless novel Anna Karenina. It's called Android Karenina, and the publisher promises what sound like steampunk cylons.
Again, we seem to be on a trend of remaining the classics of the past with all the elements of class and culture that we don't understand replaced with supernatural elements. I think it's a fine way to make the classics work for the masses. And when I say masses I mean me.
I like this trend of romance movies where the foil is something supernatural. #drones

My office is kinda like this, what with the open talk of the destruction of the world.
