Video of Anne Frank uncovered

October 3, 2009 @ 2:18 am

A couple that lived next door to Anne Frank has given this video over to The Anne Frank House that shows the couple getting married and a glimpse of Anne Frank peering over her 2nd floor window ledge to get a peek at the festivities on the street below. At the moment, it is the only video known to exist that has captured any moving images of Anne Frank.

The first video uploaded to YouTube

AWV points to this video of a guy at the zoo that was uploaded on April 23, 2005 at 8:27PM. That makes this video the first video ever published to YouTube. Impressive and yet so unimpressive. Weird.

Canon Philippines lent Jason Magbanua and his video team a pre-production Canon 7D and they quickly shot this video called Perya (Town Fair) to show off the amazing video quality at 1920 x 1080. I want I want!!

DO IT HOW WE DO IT: an end of summer mixtape from Doobybrain.com

School is starting back up for many students and for the first time in about 18 years I am not going back to classes. It’s a bit weird not having to worry about grades, buying school supplies, and showing up for classes…although in due time I’ll have to worry about showing up for work on time instead.

Anyway, as I watched some of the students move in to FIT across the street yesterday, I realized that summer for me was also ending despite not really having anywhere to be. So what better way to sum up the summer than to create a mix of songs that stuck with me through the last several months, right?

A lot of the songs here familiar singles and for good reason — they’re great songs! Like all of the mixes I make, I intended this one to be played in the car while driving, but you’re free to download it and listen to it on your iPod while walking around campus (or to work) or while you’re sitting at your desk. It’s an overall upbeat mix so don’t expect to put this one on while you’re trying to sleep.

Classic Casio Illuminator watch

I got an email this morning from ASOS saying that they were now carrying the Casio W86-1V watch with the infamous Illuminator technology. This exact model was my very first watch when I was a kid and I fondly remember it lasting a very long time and holding up to lots of use. In fact, I still have this very same watch in my closet and I’m tempted to get it out and replace the battery in order to bring life to it again. Unfortunately, this hot item is already sold out at ASOS, but you can pick it up for cheaper at Amazon.com (price: $12.95).
