Photographs by Keith Davis Young

I just discovered the photographs of Keith Davis Young on Triangle Triangle and I am beginning to think I’ve found my new favorite photographer. Keith has the ability to pick out the awkwardness in an otherwise “normal” scene which is something I’ve been trying to perfect in my own work ever since I picked up a camera.

I hand-picked a couple of my favorites below, but you should check out Keith Davis Young’s Flickr photostream for more visual goodness.

Brian Chen and Powermat

I have very high respect for Brian Chen and his job of reporting on gadgets and technology, so I don’t mean this comment in a bad way at all towards him. I just find it incredibly distracting and awkward the way Brian keeps looking back at the camera as the person he’s interviewing is talking to him (or talking about the product). It’s just…very weird looking.

Anyway, good stuff demonstrated here from Powermat, a company that makes mats that can charge devices wirelessly in real-time.

Weird videos on TenchiAbel’s YouTube channel

December 12, 2008 @ 9:00 pm

I came across a wonderfully weird YouTube find today and I don’t quite know how to describe it to you all. So instead of trying, I’ll just point you over to TenchiAbel’s YouTube member page so that you can go ahead and view the videos that belong to that account.

Inside, I’ve included some videos as an example of why this might possibly be the funniest and weirdest YouTube channel I’ve ever come across. As my brother Norman said, it’s like the entire channel is meant for people who are learning English (with the exception of some videos). I watched almost all of the videos and it seems to me like the videos are part of a series showing exchange students in different countries coping with their new environments. Regardless of where it comes from, these dubbed videos are so awkward in terms of timing, sentence structure, and production quality. Watch all of the videos on the YouTube channel and you’ll know what I mean.

And one more thing, those Korean/English cartoons are truly bizarre (I didn’t post any after the fold, but you can see them on the YouTube channel’s page).

Anyway, check inside to see some of my personal picks. I’d save these to send to friends when they’re feeling down. If these were sent to me I’d get a kick out of them each time.
