Do You Rock? [Epilepsy Warning] [Monochromatic Booty-Shaking Warning] A simple video for a simple tune. A parody and/or a ripoff of DubstepLyrics. For the full effect I recommend turning off annotations, going to full-screen, and turning up your subwoofer.

A little while ago a video by a young Greek actress appeared on the web, attempting to hit back at the blame and recriminations her country has suffered in the debt crisis. The video (which follows the style of a beer commercial) created all sorts of reactions in Greece, with some people responding with their own videos. Here is one, and here is another. There are more, but these have become quite popular. Enjoy!

Here is, um, something. Something silly, from the Goons. Here it is again. And here it is from the Muppets. And here it is in a bookstore at a signing by one of the Goons. More nonsense. And more. (← my favorite) And yet more. Okay, just one more. Why it's the Ying-Tong Song! If any of you can find it, one of the very best episodes of The Muppet Show is the one where Spike Milligan is guest.

I have some extremely distressing news.

A long time ago (1987) in a slightly parallel galaxy not so far away, an aspiring filmmaker named George Lucas teamed up with thespian Richard E. Grant to create the epic tale of a frustrated thespidroid trying to find fame on the desolate planet of Tatooine. Withnail and O is the result.

Everything I do gonh be funky from now on. This is actually (aside from a celebration of the song and the various shades of deep groove that it finds itself wrapped up in) a bit of an obit post as well. Sorry to say, but the wonderful guitarist you hear on the last linked version (by Lou Donaldson) just passed away on March 13. He was one of those relatively rare players who easily moved back and forth between the worlds of jazz and of soul and R&B. His name was Melvin Sparks. RIP, Melvin.

It's wise to wait five years.

Repair your carbon credit, cheap

jfuller — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 20:11:57 -0800

December 2006: carbon credit market to crash-land? One problem, most of the countries submitted emissions plans that allocated permits for more than is currently being emitted--in other words, instead of reductions, they proposed increases. Collectively, EU countries have allocated permits allowing emissions 15 percent higher than actual emissions. February 2007: Splat. The collapse in the price of a tonne of carbon dating back to May last year when it emerged that most countries in the scheme had set their carbon caps far too high, resulting in fewer firms than expected having to buy credits and causing the price of a tonne of carbon to plummet from over €30 to less than €10. SPLAT!: A year ago, CO2 was changing hands in the ETS at 30 euros (33 dollars) a tonne, triple that at the market's launch in January 2005. Today, a tonne of CO2 can be bought for little more than one euro. I'm a good greenie, I'm buying enough credits to offset my coal-fired barbie and my Bradley Shopping Vehicle for the rest of eternity. That should cost me about fiddy cents. (Buy yours here.)

More than you ever wanted to know about nothing at all

Eideteker — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 06:39:23 -0800

The Zero Saga contains a great deal of information about the concept of zero, and its relation to other numbers and concepts in mathematics. It was linked in Good Math, Bad Math; which contains a variety of other informative articles on the numbers that capture our imaginations. (Note: You may want to skip past part 4 of the Zero Saga, as it contains replies to the site, and as such should probably be at the bottom of the page. But, to compensate, the comments on Good Math are better than most blogs I've read.)
