Friday Fun with Videos

Hey Sweet Pants (to quote the Jerky Boys), here is a block of videos to keep your sanity while you work on Friday.

First up is Honey, yeah. This video was an eye opening experience back in the day. This must have been on TRL every day for the max. amount of time, due two a couple of things. First Mariah is smokin' in the video, second Eddie Griffin with Johnny B. who would have done that, o yeah Mariah cause she is on fihya.

Mariah Carey - Honey




Alright so I found this video today, it is pretty amazing, it is simple flash animation with a nice melodic song behind it. The story is amazing a bunch of demons try to attack vikings, so after a perfect description of an event staff, they Battle. Robot time...Watch and learn, cause knowledge is power.

Jason Forrest: "War Photographer"



This is probably one of the best things to enter my ocular cavities is a little while, yeah that is all there is to say about this video.

David Lee Roth - Just a Gigolo



I am pretty sure the first thing on my mind after I woke up was Matt Pinfield, you know the only VJ on MTV (other than Kurt Loader) who knew anything about music. He use to host a show called 120 minutes. Green Day appeared one time and talked about their videos, that discussion always made me think of this video with live dental footage.

Green Day - Geek Stink Breath



Duck walk. White Girls in cages. Chuck Berry playing in a tiny cramped space. The all white audience. Plus it is an awesome performance.

So as you know I read alot of magazines well I just found my new favorite magazine.

It is called LASER Focus World : International Resource for Technology and Applications in the Global Photonics Industry.

I think every one who like lasers or just cool shit shoulds order this magazine. I am pretty sure that it is a free business magazine.



This artical is pretty cool it is about

"Researchers at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) have successfully embedded optoelectronic devices into a biocompatible contact lens. This achievement is a significant step toward enabling virtual head-up displays within the human eye, delivering visual aids to help vision-impaired individuals, or for incorporating biosensors directly on the surface of the eye, among many other possible applications."

Blinking Blue Lights

I am not sure who has noticed, but if you have driven through West philly since last monday you may have seen blinking blue lights on top of light post. Well you should get used to it, Philadelphia has hired unisys to install 250 camera throughout the city. These cameras are being placed on high crime corners throughout the city, there were 12 test camera launched in 2007. You may have noticed it on the corner of Broad and Erie.

"The cameras will capture images and send them via a secure wide area network to the city’s central monitoring facility staffed and managed by city personnel. An online storage system will maintain those images for forensic evaluation." .unisys.com November 19, 2007

Personally, they said this was announced last October or November but no one in Philadelphia seemed to know. Some people know me other do not, but each week i have a ton of odd magazines that come to my house. I recieved one that was called Government Video, talks about advancement in government technology, but real big on the cover was Philadelphia Under Surveillance. Here is a link to the article.
