History has proven that the Star Stangled Banner is a very hard song to memorize and sing correctly (or in tune).

OMC – How Bizarre

May 31, 2009 @ 12:20 am

Truly bizarre video. I’ve probably seen this at some time in the past, but it still seems like a new video to me. Can you believe this used to be a hit on the radio? Haha, man…

Rocking out with Tai Chi

Hmm, suddenly Tai Chi doesn’t look so boring anymore when you can rock out to it. [via]

The video was created by Nicholas Wakeham and you can watch it in HD (which for some reason, kind of makes it even funnier).

Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

The President Gets Laughs at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner from White House on Vimeo.

Embedded above is the video of Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this year which took place on May 9, 2009. He was genuinely funny and his jokes were filled with just the right amount of sass without going overboard. The video is just over 16 minutes long, but I think it’s worth watching from beginning to end. Our President is mad funny.

Thanks Paul!

TED TALKS: Miru Kim and making art of New York’s urban ruins

May 2, 2009 @ 1:31 pm

I’m a big fan of Miru Kim’s photos because she always seems to find really fascinating subject matter and locations in her urban exploration expeditions. If you recall, Miru Kim is the photographer who goes into abandoned structures and places and then photographs herself nude in them.

In this TED Talks video from the 2008 EG Conference, Miru Kim talked about her work, where her idea came from, and what she is trying to convey by posing nude in these abandoned man-made structures. It’s really interesting to see where her work has brought her and I very much envy her travels around the world.
