Pink Tentacle: 'For rent: Reversible Destiny Lofts (w/ video)' (Would love to live here.)
Hulu.com: 'The Dresden Files' (I really enjoyed this obvious but fun 'modern wizard' supernatural show when it appeared on Sci-Fi, and missed a few episodes, good to see Hulu picking up the slack.)
Trends In Japan: Homestar EXTRA from Sega Toys coming soon ('What we first reported on as the Homestar EX has now become the Homestar EXTRA, and now we have a better idea as to what’s inside this major upgrade in the best-selling home planetarium series from Sega Toys.')

Wired: Weird Al: Forefather of the YouTube Spoof (Def. a canonical article.)
Archive.org: New Prelinger collection movies (They're starting to upload new public service/industrial movies, the first in a few years - awesome.)
The Big Picture: 'The Baikonur Cosmodrome' ('The Cosmodrome was founded in 1955, making it one of the oldest space launch facilites still in operation. Here are collected some photographs of manned and unmanned launches from Baikonur over the past several years.')

37Signals: 'The NO!SPEC campaign vs. crowdSPRING' (Interesting discussion on the democratization/crowdsourcing of art creation.)
Blue Cat: 'Radioface' (''Radioface' is a group of people from the Cook'd and Bomb'd comedy forum. Done with a budget of about three pounds twenty, and yet the first video made me laugh more than anything I've seen on UK television in about three years.')
Wikipedia: Dead Set (TV series) (A Big Brother spinoff, created by Charlie Brooker, about "...a zombie outbreak which strands the housemates inside the Big Brother house." Could be genius.)

Adam Buxton: 'MOJO SONG WARS NEWS!' (The Beck pastiche for Mojo is pretty glorious.)

London from above, at night - The Big Picture - Boston.com (Beautiful pictures of where I grew up (OK, a bit South of there, but hey).)

GSW: 'Event Commentary: Nvision & The Ship In The Bottle' ('Gamasutra publisher Simon Carless had a chance to visit Nvidia's Nvision 'visual computing' festival in San Jose, and brings this report on the show, real-time graphics creation, and the sometimes forgotten demo-scene.')
AV Club: 'The A.V. Club Guide To Getting A Tattoo' (All kinds of awesome in here.)
GSW: 'Real-Time Graphics Delight: The NVScene 2008 Demo Competition' (The top demo-scene releases at NVision - smart stuff in there.)
