I was in a raid that attempted one of the four world dragons in World of Warcraft, Lethon (Thottbot). Here's a video of a Horde guild downing Lethon. Impressive fight. People who haven't played the game probably can't appreciate the level of organization and teamwork it takes to pull something like that off.

A Meditation On the Speed Limit - Google Video. Brilliant. I'd love to start a "fight club" that'd get people to shut down major cities by following their speed limits.

YouTube - microsoft ipod packaging parody (via Matt). Excellently done, it exemplifies my biggest criticism of Microsoft: as an organization, from top to bottom, they lack taste.

Update (3/25): Turns out the video was done by Microsoft (via Matt)!

ShowMeDo - training videos, for anything, online (via Sean McGrath):

The creation of ShowMeDo was motivated by the observation that many of the web tutorials we have success with are demonstrative, exploiting the audio-visual possibilites that increasing bandwidths provide.

Well-written textual descriptions are often quite adequate but for a wide range of activities there is no substitute for seeing it done.

They have some Python videos.

Check out this awesome juggling (via Ned Batchelder). Only one guy juggling three balls, but as impressive as any "two people juggling 20 balls and swords on fire" show you've ever seen.

Carrie Underwood's audition video

So, I've been listening to music on Pandora a lot lately. I'd previously been using it wrong and had dumped everything into one station instead of making stations targeted towards a particular genre. That had some weird effects... it would drastically flip genres (say, from rock to Charles Mingus) but once it flipped it would stay with a particular sound for a bunch of songs, so if I didn't feel like hearing jazz right now I'd be stuck fast forwarding a bunch of times. The station also kept playing Dido for some reason.

So I recently deleted everything and started all over making targeted stations, and that's worked a lot better. I just created a country station and "seeded" it with Carrie Underwood, and somehow got to wondering about Carrie's first audition on American Idol (which I've been watching fairly regularly this season, since it comes on right before House). Anyway, this site has the video of Carrie's audition.

Update: By the way, Pandora is really excellent. It's playing Arturo Sandoval on my jazz/swing station right now (and I hadn't ever told it that Arturo rocks), and on my classic rock station, for which I told it I like the Allman Brothers, it actually played two songs by them (at least one live) that I'd never even heard before (and which rocked). Anyway... highly recommended.
