This article is pretty funny.

And not only does it have links to the bionic noise, but also to the elusive "bionic eye noise" which you may have forgotten.

...like the guy from myboot says, the first line of any conversation involving a cell-phone is "Where are you?"

This provide a handy way to stop that. :^)

Makes sense, I guess.

DVDs seem to suffice for 2-hour movies right now, so a new codec probably matters most for movies sent over the network.

And those are... what --

* movie trailers
* short-and-strange movies (such as http://www.myboot.com/movies.html)
* demos (both in the sense of product and technical-competition)
* pirated H'wood movies for those with REALLY high bandwidth (a DVD's capacity is, what, in the 4+ GB range, no? So even with the fastest DSL this would take a while...)
* porn

and I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that the last category has the greatest traffic of 'em all.

But anybody who wants to transfer a 2+-hour DVD probably will be REALLY interested in a good space-efficient codec, while those dealing in short clips need not care that much...

• The Blah Witch Project Blair Witch parody
• The Walt Witch Project (RealVideo link close to bottom of page)
• The Mos Eisley Multiplex (which is a collection of Star Wars influenced parodies... very funny stuff)
• Star Wars: Macbeth a Star Wars flavored version of Sheakspeare's Macbeth... or is that a Macbeth flavored version of Star Wars?...)
• My Boot movie theater Some funny videos... my favorite is the 'Soesman Language Institute' commercial...

Here's a little animation (The Maya example shipped with A/W is in the middle of the page) of what it can do.

Are there any laser sights out there that can be seen in broad daylight? I have a Daisy laser sight that I tried on my paintball gun, but during the daytime you can only see it up to a few feet away. Laser pointers are the same if not worse.

Anyone ever try skeet shooting with a frisbee and a super soaker? It's very fun...plus, with all that practice, you could move on up to other moving targets, like, say, squirrels.

Someone please make a video of a squirrel getting taken down by a Super Soaker and put it on the web. It could join the ranks of classics like the sheep running into the wall.
My Boot: Movies has that classic bit of cinematography and some other gems, too.

That's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. :)

Troops is worth a viewing too.
