How he got into the Showcase Showdown is beyond me! This is funny but you have to feel sorry for the poor guy. Even Bob Barker was amazed at the guy’s bid.

Cyclist High Five
A pretty funny video of a guy on a bike high fiving people trying to get a taxi.
A Dog’s Unending Loyalty
Ella, a Rottweiler, was in a car crash and scavenged for food on the highway for weeks. Ella was reunited with her family but as Steve Hartman tells us, the story doesn’t end there.
Intel: Our Team Players Aren’t Like Your Team Players
“Check out this hilarious commercial that aired this evening right after the Emmy Awards. The commercial is featuring Intel Robotics Engineer, Louis LeGrand (played by an actor) and really exemplifies the true meaning of “team player”. You can see the real Lous in action playing with a Robotic Sensing Arm here.”
Marshmallow Test Reproduced by Dr David Walsh
Watch these kids being tempted with marshmallows as they go through the “marshmallow test”. Like the one originally designed by Walter Mischel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Marshmallow_experiment). I think the adult equivalent is credit cards isn’t it? Very interesting…
Communication Problem
I am leading a technical communications discussion at CMMA’s Fall Conference in Park City, UT next month to kick-off the Monday session which I am very excited about. I was asked to participate on a panel about YouTube in the enterprise at the Scottsdale, AZ conference last year and I think I was controversial (or opinionated) enough to keep things interesting so I’m hoping to generate some good discussion at the next meeting as well. I thought it would be funny to show this video because it demonstrates what can go wrong when people are put in charge of communications who don’t have the right tools to “keep things afloat”. I’m hoping to post my presentation so others can benefit so stay tuned if interested. I’m also hoping to have it recorded so I can post it up on my blog but we’ll see if I have rights to do so. If nothing else I’m sure I can get someone to record it from my camera for me.
The Taxi Driver and the Angry Customer
I watch CBS News each night and part of the reason I love CBS News is they try and incorporate positive news stories. Most news channels focus so much on what is going wrong in the world instead of what is going right. If this video doesn’t move you, you probably need to look at yourself. Great story…
Mankind Is No Island
Mankind Is No Island from Daniel Spratlin on Vimeo.
“Using images found on street signage in Sydney and New York, Jason van Genderen shot this entire movie on a cell phone! “Mankind is No Island” is a cleverly crafted visual and musical narrative, whose production budget was a whopping $57! Winner of the TropFest NY 2008 award, the world’s largest short film festival, this is three and half minute experience that will leave you inspired.” Source: http://www.dailygood.org
