This has been massive on the internet over the past couple of days.  Runawaybox is a couple of YouTubers who get together and do hilarious short videos.  Some you may have seen are Happy Mother’s Day MILFs, I Guess You’ll Do and “Ooh Girl!” - An Honest R&B Song.

Check out their YouTube portal for more of their shorts.  Also, I’m not saying you have to check this out, but it’s a good idea.  Here are more office shorts at Man in the Box.

I know that most people aren’t excited about this, but Estée Lauder is coming out with a new mascara that vibrates just as some of our razors do.  Does this mean our mascara coverage will be better than in years before?  Oh how mascara has evolved…

Here’s a little tid-bit from Engadget, where I heard about this product:

The former company will be introducing the TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara, which will retail for $30 at Saks Fifth Avenue and buzz along at 125 micropulses-per-second; the latter will be churning out the cleverly named Ôscillation, which aims to provide “a 360-degree coat around each and every lash” when it launches this fall.

The internet is going crazy over a viral video posted last week.  The video has no ties to any marketing groups, but it does a great job of getting itself out to all the YouTubers in the world.

Honestly, who looked at that video and believed that it was real?  Cellphones cannot pop corn, let’s just make that clear.  To further prove my point here is Jenna Wortham’s post over on the Underwire blog, Physicist Debunks Cellphone Popcorn Viral Video.

A hotplate underneath a makeshift table [like they have in the video] is the easiest way to get the kernels to pop.  Sorry for those who didn’t think logically on this… I know the crappy camera handling makes it seem more realistic, but you’ve been had.

Go buy some Jiffy Pop and pop corn over your stove top, it should excite you for a few minutes.

Thanks to DS, I downloaded the program WorldWide Telescope.  This is similar to the idea of Google Sky, but a little better put together.  For those taking Astronomy in college, like I did, then this program is just like that one you had to buy, you know, Starry Night.  Starry Night is $150 and lacks real Hubble images, so that is how they are set apart.

The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a rich visualization environment that functions as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from the best ground and space telescopes in the world for a seamless, guided exploration of the universe.

Obviously I played with the program for a little before I wrote this, so I’ll tell you a bit about it.  It has every constellation that you could ever think of.  It also has images of all the planets and moons in case that’s all you fancy.  Their easy tab system makes it so even an inexperienced astronomer can maneuver around this program and learn a thing or two.

There is a Guided Tours tab that takes you through a tour of nebulae, galaxies, planets, black holes, star clusters and tons of other good stuff.  You can search by name if you want or just wander the skies with your mouse.

Go check it out for yourself and you might just learn something.

I know that videos this long are often closed, but seriously this is one to watch. This artist painted on the streets of Buenos Aires and Baden. Here is a link to his website where he posted the video, along with all of his other works of art. The amount of work put into these is insane, but art is art.

This video is sort of a mind fuck if you watch it all the way through. Especially if you aren’t in a sober state of mind. Either way, this guy has some interesting art, and was worth posting. Enjoy!

Check out his online sketchbooks, they are just as intense.

Beware celebrity endorsement is right, just because Tom Hanks spoke fancy words doesn’t mean you have to follow his lead. But oddly enough his little MySpace moment will help many people decide who to vote for.  Obama has other celebrities backing him up: Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen and Jessica Alba.

Wow, that is quite the video there. This reports on Chrysler’s offer to cap gas prices, which have skyrocketed to a whopping $3.63 in my area recently, to $2.99 a gallon. Of course they have their stipulations, but who doesn’t.

Microsoft has signed a world wide deal with Kia and Hyundai so their customers will have the ability to use voice commands to control a number of different features with the use of their in-car software. For already is in the contract with Microsoft, but theirs will expire in November.

T-mobile has already launched their 3G network in New York, but now they have announced that Seattle is the next lucky city to get their 4x faster download speed. The new network launch will take place this fall, so get ready you Seattleites.

I don’t know many Zune people, but there are some out there, and this should excite them. Microsoft Zune fans will soon have the ability to download popular t.v. shows directly to their Zune!! At $1.99 each you can get shows like South Park, Battle Star Galactica, Heroes and my favorite The Office.

Webby Awards took place and guess who are the winners! That is correct, buzz travels fast, but Colbert is the Webby Person of the Year for connecting to his fans using the Internet. Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas won Webby Artist of the Year for his music video supporting Barack Obama. A few others are

All that in one video, how informational! Enjoy!

Every once in a while I’ll hit up Google for the latest news on Sex and the City and today I stumbled upon someone who reacted differently than I thought people would to the news of Samantha being a west coast girl.

Here is an excerpt from her blog of why she is upset:

So, Cattrall told Access Hollywood: “Her [Samantha’s] location is now on another coast, so there’s a lot of beige and sunshine, the ‘Golden-Kind-of-Girl’ feeling to it, which my hair and makeup team had a ball with! There’s a lot of suntan lotion, a lot of sparkly stuff, which Samantha revels in.”

Well, this certainly makes sense within the realm of the ending — Samantha is with Smith, who is becoming a big movie star. Naturally, if she stuck with him, she’d be on her way to LA. It also fits into that whole swimsuit scene in the trailer. That being said, there’s a few problems with this. Long-distance friendship was a huge sticky point in the end of the series. So, while it makes sense, it’s hardly the best layout for showing their interconnected friendships.

Well, to put this plainly, Samantha gave up her old ways of life when she told Smith not to have sex with anyone else.

On the other hand, I am extremely excited that Samantha has committed, I know her character is promiscuous, but her actually being happy is fantastic… Especially with the character she did, so bad ass.

Long-distance friendships work, it’s not like a lover relationship, you don’t cheat on one another by making new friends.

His response cannot be genuine, his ladies are god awful compared to the sexy Obama girls, Obama got it good when they signed on… The Raining McCain video is dreadful, and their new one Here Comes McCain Again is just as bad.  Fortunately the new McCain Girls video got kicked off YouTube for copyright infringement.

Oh, here’s a fabulous response from the lead singer of the trio, she definitely threw her two cents in the pot on this one.

To be honest though, the horrid green screen was my favorite part.  I laughed as the dinosaur disappeared in the background in her green blouse.

Here is their YouTube channel, I don’t recommend subscribing to it, but there might be some tone deaf person out there who actually enjoys the sounds falling out of their mouths.

Yahoo has launched their new site Shine to a more targeted audience. Yahoo hopes to appeal to the approximately 40 million women ages 25 to 54 that use Yahoo monthly.

Yahoo thinks their categories will appeal to the masses, but when they touch on everything of course they don’t leave much room for anything else.

They cover Fashion and Beauty, for those who wish to remove the zits and the cellulite in one miracle cream. I hate to break it to your fat lazy ass, but eating bon-bons while you smoke a pack of Camel Lights does not help your cellulite issue. Get off your butt and do some work, jog or use the ellipticals you bought last year when you were hopeful, it doesn’t matter, working out is good for you, do it.

Healthy Living, because most people consult the internet before they ask a doctor what is right. Entertainment is another one of their categories since everyone needs to pry into the celebrities lives. Parenting goes along side the doctor thing, people would rather Google than ask their mother or mother-in-law. Love and Sex is a huge target group, women in general are either sad, happy, happy in love, in a bad relationship, having sex, loving sex, hating their sex lives and want better ones… so either way you turn, Love and Sex is the way to go. Work and Money, for those who want to make a quick buck, save their cash for that Bermuda trip or just hate their job. Food and At Home are a couple of goodies, I always like new recipes and ways to organize better, even if I don’t. Astrology is bogus, but people believe that and love it. Ah yes, Speak Up, one category that will actually be interesting. Speak Up is their community section, where people can voice their opinion, much like I do here.
