I Can Remember When Fax Machines Were Mind Blowing
When I was in college I saw my first fax machine and it literally blew my mind. I just couldn't wrap my head around the concept of how a physical piece of paper could be copied and reproduced hundreds of miles away via phone. From today's perspective the whole idea of breaking an image into bits of data that are then used to reproduce that image somewhere else is downright pedestrian, and understanding how it works goes a long way to helping me (kind of) understand what's going on in the video below, but I have to tell you that when I watched the video I had the same reaction I had when I watched my first fax transmission.

This is way cool. If you like puppies you should definitely watch to the end. Found via BookofJoe.

Conan O'Brien is getting lots of kudos for his commencement address to the Dartmouth class of '11, and rightfully so.
Here's the highlight version:

National Jukebox
Who said you can't get somethin' for nothin'? The Library of Congress has put a bunch of the recordings from its archives online in what's called the National Jukebox.
About the National Jukebox
The Library of Congress presents the National Jukebox, which makes historical sound recordings available to the public free of charge. The Jukebox includes recordings from the extraordinary collections of the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation and other contributing libraries and archives.
Way cool.
It Began With Kinect
Our big family Christmas gift (i.e. the gift for the whole family) last year was a new TV for the family room and an Xbox Kinect to attach to it. I'm not a big gamer, but when the Wii came out I played more games in one week than I'd played in the prior ten years, and I can tell you that Kinect is even better. There aren't many games for it yet, but that's just a matter of time. All of that is to tell you why I think the video of a BBC story about Microsoft that I've pasted below (found via bookofjoe) should not be seen as merely a PR stunt for the company that burdened us with Office. Methinks the next few years are going to bring us gadgets that make an iPad look like an abacus.
Lazy Teenage Superheroes
In the evolving world of digital video the dollar is becoming much less important when compared to talent and imagination. Case in point is Lazy Teenage Superheroes, a short film that the filmmaker says cost him $300 to make. Embedded is a video of the behind the scenes action during the making of the film. A warning about the actual film: don't watch it if you're put off by bad language, references to VD or juvenile humor of any kind.
