Racist McCain-Palin Rally - I think the Presidential Race is closer than everyone is reporting. I think when pollsters are calling McCain supporters, they're answering 'Obama' out of embarrassment being associated with these nut jobs.

Local Idiot To Post Comment On Internet -
"I will finish posting my comment, then sit there like the worthless human being I am and wait for other commenters to respond," he added. "Because, as I mentioned before, I have nothing better to do with my life."
"We are blessed to be living in an age when we have a global communications network in which idiots, assholes, and total and complete wastes of fucking human life alike can come together to give instant feedback in an unfettered and unmonitored online environment."

The animation is really fun."In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace."

The Website Is Down: Sales Guy vs. Web Dude -
"Dude AOL? Don't use AOL. It's dial-up networking."
"Well how am I gonna get to the internet without AOL?"
"It's ... We have a corprote OC-3. It cost like a 1,000 dollars a month. So don't use AOL."
"Well, can you carry over my hours?"

How $5 Makes a Difference in Online Comment Quality - A side-by-side comparison of comments on Metafilter (which costs $5 for an account to comment) and YouTube (where any idiot can comment). Craigslist drastically improved the quality of job postings in large cities by charging $25. Amazon.com improved movie and book ratings by showcasing reviews where the reviewer uses their real name, verified by their credit card. The Ithmus has a high quality of comments because they require people to post with their real name as well. Hopefully other websites will use one of these two methods to improve their own content quality. *cough* youtube, digg *cough*

I've been a little under the weather lately and not able to update. I have a backlog of links to share with you all, and I'll start catching up tomorrow.

A Bad Day at the Office - Hilarious collection of security camera clips of people loosing control at work. I'm not sure if it's faked, but funny regardless.

Magic Highway USA - Watch this clip. It's a riot. It's Walt Disney's prediction of the future of transportation. Some of the items have actually made it, like the rear-view-mirror camera... and others... like the nuclear powered car... have not. I love these clips though. But now, where is our sense of wonder of the future? The clip even features a cameo by his house of the future. I want to go back to EPCOT.

Sufjan's Chicago, A capella - University of Michigan's "Dicks and Janes" a capella group opened for the Madhatters this past weekend. They sang Sufjan's Chicago, and it sent chills all through my body. I finally found a clip on YouTube... obviously the quality isn't as good as it was live, but still amazing.
