  EYEBORG - The Two Week Trial

  (Computers / Tech, Science)
  [ 6:09 - from Vimeo ]

  "The Eyeborg Project" pushes the concept of a "subjective camera" to another level with a small camera embedded in a man's prosthetic eye. The first video documents a minor setback for the team, but based on the companies backing the project, the crew will have the resources to stream "live from a man's eye" in the very near future. view

  Bob Dylan (Time Magazine Interview)

  (Cultural)
  [ 6:22 - from YouTube ]

  A young Bob Dylan skewers a reporter from Time Magazine who is trying interview him.  This is from the seminal documentary "Don't Look Back" about Dylan's 1965 London tour. It serves as testament to the power of music during that era and the seriousness with which both the artists and the general culture approached it. In our Po-Mo era of artists as managed industries with a coterie of publicists, agents, managers and PR people, it's difficult to imagine that same kind of engagement would ever be allowed or that an artist who expressed it would be given any press time, unless like Bono they tried to, with mixed results, use the ubiquitous marketplace as a tool to address social issues brought about by the very marketplace. They now say that in the fragmented media landscape of today no artist will ever dominate the charts like Michael Jackson again -- but Michael was not the end of an era, he was, like Jaws and Star Wars, the beginning of one - Pop Culture. view

  The Sundance Directors Lab: The Script

  (Art & Entertainment)
  [ 6:00 - from YouTube ]

  I am absolutely addicted to The Sundance Directors Lab series. It's voyeurism meets education with an in-depth look into the passion and hard work that drives today's leading (and up and coming) directors with firsthand accounts of the road they travel to get from the script to working with actors to the editing room. This particular episode features emerging screenwriters, Benh Zeitlin and Lucy Alibar, with advice on creating vivid storyworlds, but I highly recommend checking out the entire series. view

  As LA chef Susan Feniger (formerly of the Food Network’s Too Hot Tomales) struggles to get her first solo restaurant off the ground in the midst of the recession, her many debacles – and taste testing and comedic flare ups – have been captured on camera by filmmaker Liz Lachman. The resulting web series, STREETNOISE, is a lively and playful tribute to her now-happening Hollywood hotspot, Street, which celebrates the world’s best street food.  view

  Proper Urinal Etiquette

  (How-To)
  [ 3:30 - from YouTube ]

  A cute cartoon about how to handle yourself in a public bathroom. It's satisfyingly rigorous on all the various formations one can encounter. I also like the retro instructional film vibe. Funny stuff.

  The Ugly American

  
  (Reality)
  [ 1:11 - from truTV ]

  Having visited Thailand not so long ago, I came to understand a beautiful country that has endured endless exploitation through the centuries with diginity, and a thriving sex trade in Bangkok.  In this video, one of the many hapless American pricks who drunkenly carouse the streets of Bangkok presumes too much of his entitlement, and gets the reaction one might normally expect if you proposition a woman on the street. view
