cosmolearning

pahool — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:45:05 -0800

cosmolearning has a ton of college courses and documentaries aggregated in one place. And it was started by a couple of teenagers. I'm impressed.

It's what it says on the tin.

Heath is alive like Tupac

azarbayejani — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 12:23:52 -0800

The music video for Modest Mouse's new track King Rat was released today. Interestingly, it was directed by Heath Ledger two years ago, and released posthumously. Apparently, there's another one coming up. It has described as looking "like exactly the kind of thing that someone might come up with after spending a couple of months rocking Joker makeup and pretending to mutilate people." The video contains a little cartoon goriness, so be warned.

Vimeo has run out of disk space...

krautland — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:36:18 -0800

Vimeo just announced they will delete your original source files if you are a basic (=free) user. Only the compressed and encoded versions will remain unless you buy the $60/year "plus" membership. Deletions will begin August 1st. From their blog: "Starting August 1st, basic accounts' original source files will be stored for one week from the upload date, after which they will be removed." (...) "Original file storage of every file for every user is a massive cost, and we have noticed that only a very small set of users actually ever download their own files. We want to keep original file storage around as a feature for people who use it, but we can't continue to do it for everybody." Taking features away from your established userbase is usually a bad idea but the vimeo guys do not have a reputation for being anything other than a bunch of nice folks and I'll give them credit for sending out a pretty clear email alerting users to this change today. Still - this rather drastic change makes me wonder. Chris Anderson was not available for comment.

The Singing Nerd

Effigy2000 — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:35:10 -0800

The Singing Nerd is a guy who likes to write, play, and record songs about the things that he likes and then post music videos on Youtube. Most of these songs are about nerdy things, such as The Ballad of Catan, a song simply entitled Chess! and a song about Role Playing. But there's also songs about things we can all relate to, like Fast Food Commercials, A Trip To Las Vegas and... um... Pirates?. Hmmm. Anyway, check out the rest of his songs here.
