  GOOD: Wireless Parking

  (Automotive, Computers / Tech)
  [ 2:46 - from Babelgum ]

  If you were gonna head out, and you knew from an iPhone application that there was no parking readily available in the area, would you wait and maybe go out a little later?  To help avoid the endless circling while trying to find that open spot, San Francisco is testing the idea of sensored parking - you can not only check which spaces are free in a certain area, but you can put money in the meter from anywhere you are, without having to run back to your car and risk a ticket. If LA is not getting better public transit anytime soon, this could be a nice little implementation. view

  (Computers / Tech, Conspiracy, Cultural)
  [ 4:25 - from YouTube ]

  This shocking animated documentary explores invasive surveillance technology currently used worldwide. Facial recognition software which allows the government to "track" an individual's movements throughout the day is only one of the very scary pieces of information in this short. view

  Pennies HEART

  (Health, Parenting, Reality)
  [ 7:58 - from Vimeo ]

  This short is a small glimpse into the lives of the Gorman family as they look for a new heart for their daughter Pennie.  In times of strife, the mind does play tricks, and we tend to look for answers or someone to blame to help us understand why things happen.  But maybe the real lesson for all of it is to learn the act of faith, and to realize that the challenges that come in our path are a means of evolution, and a way to strengthen us.  Human life is infinitely fragile and in this touching fillm, the theme has never been so resonant. view

  Christian the Lion

  (Nature)
  [ 2:28 - from YouTube ]

  Australians John Rendall and Ace Bourke purchased a lion in 1969, named it Christian, raised it for a year, and then reintroduced it into the wild. Later they tracked down Christian to see if he would remember them. This video, set to Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," shows what happened when Rendall and Bourke found their former pet. This is so damn cute your heart very well may burst. view

  Singing Tesla Coil at Duckon 2007

  
  (Computers / Tech, Science)
  [ 2:43 - from YouTube ]

  Electrical engineers rock. Literally. In this mesmerizing video of a "singing" Tesla coil, flashes of light synchronize with rock riffs. This may be one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and I would love to see it used in a concert.  view

  Bull in Supermarket

  (News)
  [ 1:55 - from YouTube ]

  The title says it all: Bull in Supermarket ("Snakes on a Plane" anyone?). And it delivers. I am struck by the banjo music being played underneath this Irish news report, making it credibly caper-ish. Wasn't country plucking originally an American convention to connote comic chaos? Or was that another literate tradition we have to thank the Irish for?  view
