This series gives you a look at the interesting characters in the US. Everything from a derby woman, to a castle builder, to the grandmother of burlesque. These are great character pieces that really give a broad overview of our melting pot. Or is it a salad bowl... view

This is a great video series, and not just because it's by my my little sister, Anna Sophie. The Atlantic Monthly and the New York Times Magazine thought so too and gave her nice write ups. My sister, in her hipster girl lost in Beijing persona, has done a whole series of pieces where she gives you a window on Chinese culture and life that you won't see anywhere else. It is the kind of reportage that would have never been available without the digital revolution - I honestly think it is some of the most cutting edge use of the web I've seen; its not copying TV, but creating a new form. view

A group of 20-something eco-geek Canadians bring a whole new musical spin to recycling, making use of whatever they can get their hands on, with amazing results. These kids will have you wanting to power your blender with pedals and eat wilted lettuce out of your local Whole Foods dumpster. view

Do you ever wish that your annoyingly giddy friend would just simmer down? The Onion has created a video with just the antidote...a drug that stops the gleeful in their tracks. Another brilliantly executed gem - super cool beans! :-) view

This trailer for the upcoming documentary BONSAI shows how Muhhamad Yunnus earned his Nobel Peace Prize, before it was cool. Making concepts like microeconomics and social business easy to understand and powerfuly human, this trailer shows quickly how impoverished peoples are taking control of their lives through Yunus's vision of economic justice. view

This has got to be one of the best father/daughter comedy teams I've seen. Gavin McInnes teams up with his daughter, Sofie, to demonstrate various ways to thwart an attacker. Comedy teams this good are hard to come by. view

There is no such thing as clean coal! The point is driven home in this behind the scenes clip shot on the set of "Clean Coal Clean". Is there anything the Coen brothers can't do? view

Time to raid the recycling bin. Here's a video showing you how to hack an old 2-liter cola bottle into a 50 watt light bulb. You might want to check with your landlord before your start poking holes in the ceiling, but hey, you can't beat free energy. view
