think i'll start wearing a seatbelt now

I'll be the first to admit that I don't always wear my seatbelt. OK - Amanda nags me about this constantly - I rarely wear a seatbelt. This PSA from the UK is pretty damn effective...

these are my confessions
via vimeo.com
Not *my* confessions (sorry) but an amazing, inspiring, touching, sometimes funny, sometimes sad slice of the human experience from PostSecret promoting the book Confessions on Life, Death and God. Well worth the time it takes to watch it.
Hat tip to @cc_chapman who shared the link on Twitter.

Sure, all the social media nerds (I mean "experts") are spreading this video around on Twitter, but it's still pretty good. This weekend, my daughter watched her first Muppet movie (not THE Muppet Movie but Muppet Treasure Island) so this reminds me of her. I'll have to show it to her over Thanksgiving weekend.

Mashup artist Kutiman remixes YouTube - take a batch of unrelated videos of people playing music, cut 'em together and this is what you get. All audio is the actual sound from the videos - pretty friggin' amazing.
More on YouTube or Kutiman's site: http://www.thruyou.com.

youtube's greatest hits
via youtube.com
Even though this clip seems to be missing a handful of the actual Top 100 clips on YouTube (if you go by views), it's still a pretty ambitious mash-up of a lot of the most popular.
Might make a nice presentation intro one day.

sour makes a sweet music video
via youtube.com
Not only a brilliant use of common web-based tech, but a nice experiment in collaboration between artist and fans.
The clip descrip from YouTube:
"This music video was shot for Sour's 'Hibi no Neiro' (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album 'Water Flavor EP'. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam.
Director: Masashi Kawamura + Hal Kirkland + Magico Nakamura + Masayoshi Nakamura

social media is the new punk rock
via youtube.com
Good video; nice analogy -- although I don't feel nearly as cool as even the least cool Sex Pistol (or even the dude from Flock of Seagulls.)
