When you’re interviewing with BBC, AND you want to be known as a thought leader on geopolitics in Asia, it’s incredibly difficult to maintain your composure when toddlers invade. We might not be unveiling a spoiler when we tell you that we watched this well over a dozen times, and it might have gotten funnier […]

Mark and the Robbers
Mark Rober took his razor sharp wit and went to work outfoxing the porch pirates of the world. His hilarious videos journaled his battle with porch pirates. He created the perfect porch bait, and his adventures easily went viral, creating a new career for him. Now, he’s topped himself by bringing battle to an adversary […]
Axes of Evil
One thing that always impresses us is a massive amount of work poured into a short video. This guitar arrangement of the Star Wars Imperial March honors both John Williams and the t-shirt designers! We hope that puts you in the mood for holiday films.
Epic Smash-Up
There’s probably something coming out this holiday season that will get you back into the theaters at least once. For us, it was “The Last Jedi” but there may be at least one or two others that will get us spilling popcorn into our laps. Since there will be a lot of Star Wars talk […]
Are you ready for David S. Pumpkins?
We’ve never been a fan of “scary” rides for the scary effect. But when it comes to the funny possibilities, Tom Hanks (and David S. Pumpkins) have set the bar pretty high. We have to admit that we might have jumped a little the first time we saw this.
It’s Gold, It’s Slime, It’s Shredded!
We can never predict the types of things we’ll find irresistible. Okay, that’s not entirely true.

Robot of the Year
It’s likely to be a big year for new robots. The range of shapes and uses is increasing rapidly. One form of robot is the type that can talk on the phone for you. This one from Jolly Roger Telephone Company is absolutely our favorite! We love this next one…
Small Block, Big Lawn
Sometimes we do things because we think it’s a better way. Sometimes we do things because there’s a chance that it will make a difference, or solve a long-standing problem, or improve a condition we see around us. And sometimes we do something just because of the sound! There’s just something about that sound that […]
Just 207 Words
We haven’t had a lot of chances to watch Louis CK work a crowd, but this seemed like a good time. Nerdwriter1 decided to illustrate the anatomy of both a Louis CK joke, and his masterful delivery. We thought it wise to watch some of his work before studying this analysis, and were delighted by […]
You Could Look Right Inside
We’ve all probably seen some animation about how an internal combustion engine works. Usually it’s when we don’t care and we just want permission to take the car keys. But somehow, seeing the real thing happen in slow motion, and right in front of your eyes — it’s a different thing. We were afraid that […]
