Swedish Cooking Style, in Swenglish

These guys have a whole series that involves making the kitchen very messy, eating raw ingredients while saying "It's good for you", and generally being hilariously "bad ass" Swedes. Makes me want to go to Sweden, just to eat a pre-dinner snack of mayonnaise, kick the ass of some poor macaroni, then snarf down some bacon.

Cute French Kids Tells a Long Story

I think she's telling a story based on the animals from Winnie the Pooh. So adorable... I could almost understand some of the phrases without the English subtitles.

Posts On The Way…

Howdy all you blog readers out there. I have a few posts on the way, but due to the internet being down at home I have been unable to post. Hopefully you'll see something tonight!

For now you can enjoy the following links:

Christine O'Donnell shows aggressive ignorance about the constitution.
Working example of interpolating objects out of video in real time (aka "how we can now erase objects from video in real time, further reducing our ability to believe what we see").
Some stats on Americans' knowledge of climate change (a Yale study)

10.10.10

Happy 10/10/10 Day!
Lots of reasons to celebrate:

It's equal to the number 42 (in binary: 101010), which is the answer to everything and quite a few other things as well.
It's the beginning of the 10:10 global campaign to cut carbon emissions.
It's an auspicious day to take a picture of yourself.
It's one day before our anniversary!
