It took me a long time to realize how much of a Dave Grohl / Foo Fighters fan I am. The track A Matter of Time from this album is a masterpiece, as are These Days and Walk. This video is of the band playing through the album straight through, all 49 minutes of it, in their rehearsal space.

This is TIGHT. These guys are pros.

In the world, what counts more than talent, what counts more than energy, or concentration, or commitment, or anything else, is kindness. And, the more in the world you encounter kindness, and cheerfulness — which is its kind of amiable uncle, or aunt — the better the world always is. And all the big words: virtue, justice, truth… are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness.

– Stephen Fry, What I Wish I’d Known When I was 18

Probably the most enjoyable and valuable 30 minutes I’ve spent in recent memory was watching this video.

This five minute video describes the most interesting new email-related idea I’ve seen in a few years. Hilary Mason, a computer science professor, has created some shell scripts (very simple software programs) that help her deal with some of the more common ways that dealing with email wastes her time.

On her site she says that she is working on making the scripts generic so that she can release them as open-source projects anyone can use.

I’d love to see smarts like these bundled into popular email clients and web mail products.

Del Taco Super Special Show, Episode 3: Seen My Chicken Soft Taco? (via deltaco)

Welcome to the new world of advertising.

Del Taco’s posting commercials online that they couldn’t possibly run in primetime due to both their length and their content.

Something about this reminds me of the ill-fated Dana Carvey show. He was just 15 years too early.

James May from Top Gear rides in a U-2 spy plane (via wasdom01)

James May is the clever and often hilarious host of Britain’s Top Gear program where he typically reviews cars. In this clip, he gets to take a ride in a U-2 spy plane literally to the edge of space. The experience is far more deeply moving for him than even he expected, and it’s worth watching right through to the end for his reaction.

How do you miss a show when it never leaves the airwaves? Considering how many seasons it ran, I’ve probably seen almost every episode of FRIENDS at least once. It’s kind of fun, then, to discover there’s a whole world of blooper reels from each season that I haven’t seen.

This one is from Season 4, and was pointed out by Ken Levine.

I dare you not to smile or laugh while watching this.
