It’s tradition in Japan every New Year’s Eve to gather around the TV with the family to watch kouhakuutagassen—Red vs. White Singing Competition. Celebrities sing all night in team competition. This is them doing We Are the World, impersonating each of the original singers. Here’s what makes this even funnier: They’re not trying to be funny.

Big Dog? Try dying cow. I don’t care what kind of technological marvel this thing is—it’s really creepy.

Guns scare me. Never shot one. Wouldn’t mind going to the shooting range. But it would make me way too nervous to be near anybody holding one. Like when this dude is folding it up against his chest…freaks me out.

From TechCrunch, a rumor (again) that Flickr will have video soon. But this time they’re saying “in three weeks” instead of “soon”! It’s like the Corner Bodo’s “coming soon.” This is gonna rock. Sorry, Andy…but for sharing video with the masses, YouTube will probably still be king.

Help makes cool pain killers and bandaids.

They have good values too…

Help Remedies was created to make solving simple health issues simple. We find the best solution there is, and take away everything else. By stripping away some of the complexity and fear mongering of the health industry, we hope to make the category friendlier and more accessible, and in doing so empower people to make their own health decisions.

We think a little help, honesty and kindness will go a long way.

A flip book to make a rainbow in your hands, by Masahi Kawamura. So simple it’s stupid … but you didn’t think of it, did you? You can get one at Utrecht.

Best results obtained when wearing black…I guess.

I thought about trying to get a pillow fight going in Charlottesville—last year was the first I’d heard of the one in SF. But then I missed Valentine’s Day and figured I’d have to wait till next year. I just learned last week that International Pillow Fight Day is March 22.

So I’m getting together a Pillow Fight in Charlottesville … or trying. Cville is a small city, and I don’t know that many people to spread the word. If you know people here or are members of any sort of group, help me spread the word!
