Here’s another funny video, but not as good as the last one. This man claims to be able to jump on eggs without breaking them.

This video had me laughing as loud as I have ever laughed by myself: The World’s Worst Paramedic. Just watched it again, I was still laughing.
Some serious cool skateboarding tricks including jumping from one skateboard to another, front flip onto a skateboard, jumping off, over a car, then back on, and lots more.
GrandDialer is an iphone app that integrates your iphone with GrandCentral. I haven’t tried GrandCentral, but I really like the concept. I’ve been waiting for a more stable looking release. Via
Google Translate has been adapted for the Iphone. It looks pretty cool, now I just need a reason to translate something.
Just noticed street view was available in my home town, Mobile, AL. I can’t get it to show up now though. I’m sure it will be back in a few.
Video of two average athletes competing in 5 Olympic events superimposed side by side next to actual Olympic athletes. You’ve got to stick around for the Olympic rings “muscle-up” at the end. Via.
Muscle fatigue is all in your head. Well, at least, it’s triggered by your brain, and you can train your brain to delay fatigue.
I love cheap wine. Not Wild Irish Rose cheap, but a bottle of wine for under $15 makes me feel like I beat the system. Enter Budget Vino, wine reviews and tips for the under $10 crowd … Right up my alley. (Thanks!)
I’ve been wanting to run a marathon for a while. I don’t like to talk about it though because it seems like it would be tough as shit to do. Anyway, here’s a 5 minute video called by the time you finish watching this video, you’ll want to run a marathon. (Via) I’m sorry, not only did it not motivate me, I wanted to run a marathon even less. It had the complete opposite effect. So, now that my motivation is crushed, I have to search for some new reason to do it. Thanks a lot.
There’s been a bunch of hype on Cuil. (Yes, I regret adding to it.) But some are starting to take notice of its shortcomings. I think it’s a valid point. Cuil focuses on helping you refine your search, which assumes your first search will fail. Too bad, search works better when the first result on your first search is exactly what you were looking for. The only problem for Cuil is that Google nails that as well as anyone can hope. Oh well, I still say they’re not in it to win but to be acquired.
Productivity tip: I found simply writing down the things you wan to do, makes it much more likely you’ll get them done. I made a list of projects that I would like to do but probably wouldn’t ever get around to doing. As soon as I made it, I found that I had tackled two of them. Over the weekend, I finally fixed my closet; it had been bothering me forever. Now, I’m desperate to add more items to my list.
Great video on designing a stop sign by corporate committee. Via
Here’s a really cool, twisted, stop-motion (?) video: Western Spaghetti. Via
A video of some guy dancing all over the place. Gitchy, but entertaining none the less. See also Where the hell is Matt?
