Grab bag of links
1. McJohnson's (1-minute video) -- a clever little parody of the McDonalds Olympics ads. (Featuring the awesome line, "You take a nibble of my big Johnson!")
2. Top Secret Drum Corps (6-minute video) -- if precision drumming was a sport, these guys would win gold. Seriously. It just keeps getting better as it goes on.
3. How I was able to ace exams without studying -- the secret in short: connect new knowledge to what you know already and be creative. Rote memorization sucks.
4. Cell size and scale -- last time, I posted a link to the size of large space objects. This time, I give you a link to the size of really, really tiny objects. (Caveat: The site seems to be down right at the moment. Hopefully it'll be up again soon.)
5. The paradox of choice and the dangers of perfection -- a book review of The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz. In short: choice is good, but more choice is not necessarily better, and perfection is not best.
6. This is a Photoshop (4-minute video) -- I don't know if this program is actually available for the general public, but I wants it, precious.
7. Medieval warriors on a campground in Pennsylvania (3-minute video) -- for those of you who are yearning for Pennsic (you know who you are), a 2009 news review of our favourite home away from home. (Friends of loreleiskye will see a familiar face around 2:20. Other bardic friends will recognize Hector of the Black Height at 2:48.)
