A dramatic feature based on material from the incendiary book Fast Food Nation, a no-holds-barred exploration of the fast food industry that ultimately revealed the dark side of the “All American Meal.”

This is a very nice music video by Kris Moyes. So much eye candy. Me likey. He has a few more interesting videos on his site so go check that out too.

Saved here for posterity.

This is probably the most interesting book I’ve purchased in a long time. It’s a massive compendium of ideas and tools for making the world a better place. But don’t listen to me, listen to the rumours on the inkernets about it. Or ask the google about it. You know the drill.

The publishers of this book ‘hacked’ amazon’s best seller list by having people purchase the book on amazon at exactly the same time. The book shot up to #13 on the best seller list in one day.

You can buy the book here.

BTW, I’ve opened comments again. It seems the spambots have slowed to about 200 comment spams a day. Down from several thousand… Ugh.

Remember that Google Container concept that Cringely wrote about a while back? Sun Microsystems now sells these things!

Take a look: (super cheese video)

One of these units would make it into the top 200 computers in the world. They stack up to 6 containers high! It can support 1.5 petabytes of storage per container. Cringely says “it’s the largest sneakernet ever built”

Some of Sun’s usage scenarios.

What goes into a can of Easy Cheese?

Remember that dude who crashed his ~$1.5 million dollar Ferrari Enzo in LA? Wired has a fascinating story about this incredibly sketchy dude.

UPDATE: LOOKS LIKE COMEDIAN EDDIE GRIFFIN CRASHED ONE OF THESE TOO! OUCH!

Here is a video of the enzo crash:

According to their site:

“DragonForce plays their own unique style of Extreme Power Metal!”

Who doesn’t like “extreme” power metal?

Here’s the ‘commercial’ version of the previous music video. This one was created by Duckeye.

Music: Zero 7 feat. José González – Futures
Director: Robert Seidel

This low-budget video was done within just 2½ weeks for the planned DVD of Zero 7’s “The Garden”. The video visualizes crushed objects representing a diffuse future of wishes and desires which shape over time. Visible artefacts and the rough synchronisation add subtle emotions to the uncertain process… Side note: Another video for the song was commissioned and got directed by Duckeye, as this one was too uncommercial…

The Story of Shooting War

New York, NY The year is 2011, and Jimmy Burns, a young anti-corporate blogger has just seen his Williamsburg apartment blown to bits by yet another terrorist attack on New York City. He’s recorded the gruesome scene on his videoblog camera footage Burns beams live to a freaked-out world and that makes him an overnight media sensation. Exploited by his own network (Global News: “Your home for 24-hour terror coverage”), enraged by the terrorists, and determined to tell the American people the truth, Burns takes off for Iraq to get the real story of a war that’s been raging for more than eight years. SHOOTING WAR is written by Anthony Lapp, illustrated by Dan Goldman.

A web comic about a video blogger from the future. Wow, how nerd tastic?! I love it.

Give’r

Only in late 2006 would a television ad have its own blog/RSS feed. There are also plenty of goof balls like me are blogging about it. Ugh.

UPDATE: Justin has a WAY better post about this.
