Let me say without doubt that you will never forget seeing this video. Â It’s called Mallakhamb, and it’s Indian pole gymnastics, and it also makes regular gymnastics look like a slumber party. Â No man can watch this without cringing. Â Wired has the goods.

Cripes, that looks painful. Â Painfully impressive.
As God is my witness, my grandmother told me this story, just like this.
Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty from Darragh O’Connell on Vimeo.
Also, I lie a lot. Â Sorry God.
I think I will be trying this style of story telling out on the boys tonight, I will let you know how it all works out.

Not content to just make the most memorable ads in recent memory that I can memorize or write a memo about, Old Spice Guy has been busy filming direct responses to people on Twitter, and the interwebs at large. Â There are too many to link to directly, but the Old Spice channel on YouTube has them, and man are they funny.

This is the most amazing bit of marketing I have ever seen. Â The cost of doing this probably wasn’t even that much, but they probably had to have a team of writers to keep the quips coming. Â Brilliant work, you can’t deny the wonderful creativity behind this campaign.
I thoroughly enjoyed this little talk about how you perceive time, how cultures and countries tend to perceive time, and how it affects everything. Â Fascinating stuff, and the animations make it really pretty cool too.

It makes me want to hear a bit more, it sounds like an excerpt from a longer talk, or multiple lectures. Â Very cool stuff.
Here’s a freaking brilliant idea: Â write some code to make any song a swing-tempo number. Â This sounds ridiculous, but really you have to give it a try:
Sweet Child O’ Mine (Swing Version) by plamere
Now that is a catchy friggin’ tune at the best of times, but make it a swing tune, and it’s classier somehow.
There are a whole bunch more here.
