Brilliant.

Pretty thought provoking.

Number two, IMO, is by far the most worthy question – and that is Why is there Something Instead of Nothing?

Note though that answering this with the conclusion that God exists has absolutely no bearing whatsover on whether or not anything from the Christian Bible is true or false. If a) Because There is Something Instead of Nothing, leads to B) Therefore, God exists, then C does not follow, i.e. C being any of the following: God is Jesus, God is a personal god, God commands the death of entire villages and peoples, or that God is love.

Just sayin.

Nevertheless, this question sometimes keeps me up at night.

This isn’t my top list, it’s the person’s who actually put the video together and put it on youtube. But it’s an awesome collection of old school horror movie trailers! And me being a 29 year old youngin’, this was the first time I’d seen many of the older trailers here, even if I’d seen the actual before.

Here’s a great tip for anyone who likes to download music or movies, especially oddball stuff..

Any video you ever find online you can download it – and save it as the video itself, or just as an mp3 file, to listen to later. This is awesome for live music and other similar things you can’t find via mp3 the normal ways. It’s also great for collecting youtube videos or any streaming videos online and saving them to your hard drive.

You have to be using the FireFox browser and then you have to download and install a Firefox Plug-in called Download Helper. Then, once you find a page with video, start playing it, and then the plug in will notice. An animated icon to the left of the URL bar in FireFox will then allow you to save it as an .flv file (flash video file) or as an mp3 (and other formats.) It’s a little buggy trying to selecf the file type to save as. It’s just buggy in general, sometimes you have to reload the page for it to find the video, and it can’t download more than 1 video at a time.

But still… worth it for the nerds that love to download stuff.

Brilliant and horrifying film…

This caught my eye. From wikipedia:

In 2004, the film was deemed “culturally significant” by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Lynch has described his film as a “dream of dark and troubling things.”

Excited to watch this movie tonight for the first time.

Randomly stumbled upon this video today at YouTube and was pleasantly surprised. It would appear that some people have finally taken the whole “let’s use my web cam to make youtube videos where I talk for 5 minutes about stuff” idea and made it work! I would love to cop the video editing style of this one….

I also find it ironic that despite having casually flipped through quite a bit of info here and there on 2012 and the Mayan calender system, the explanation in the video is easier to follow and more concise, despite the crazy presentation style.

I wish I had a grasp on where I should start right now with my guitar skills to be able to play like this one day.

I’ve watched this video countless times.

OK, here’s the original metal song to the Deathklok show.

And here’s someone doing a piano rendition.

Holy $%#!
