Behind the Scenes With Kanye from We Love You So on Vimeo.

This was a behind-the-scenes clip posted on the Where The Wild Things Are inspiration blog and it’s pretty funny. Even though it’s clearly staged, any clip where Kanye is getting slapped is funny to me.

Snow diving fox catches a mouse

April 8, 2009 @ 1:18 pm

This BBC video shows a snow diving fox carefully listening to its prey under 6 feet of snow and then suddenly pouncing on it. Keep in mind that the snow fox does not actually see the mouse underneath the snow. It knows where it is simply by instinct and listening to its movements.

Man, I thought dogs and cats had good hearing…

4 years with Last.fm

I’m a sucker for statistics, charts, and graphs, so it’s no wonder that I’m a big fan of Last.fm. For the past 4 years, I’ve actively submitted my music listening habits to its service and over time, they’ve been able to offer me a great overview of my musical tastes.

Today marks 4 years to the day that I began submitting tracks and I’ve since listened to nearly 69,000 songs at my computer (countless more on my iPod).

My top artists overall are Coldplay, Relient K, and Jimmy Eat World. This is no surprise to me since I seem to have more mp3’s from these bands than any other band in my collection. And I love that for 4 years straight, my top song has been “Huddle Formation” by The Go! Team.
