For those of you that don’t know, I spend the majority of my days VJ’ing for Frequency, an internet video show akin to radio’s Pandora.
While most of my work consists of combing the internet for various gems, I also occasionally get to create custom playlists to show off the site’s toolset for assembling video collections. Here are two recent ones I’ve compiled:
I’m a bit late to the party on this, but something this absurdly awesome really has no expiration date. Next question: what’s it going to take to get this to the top 40?
And so, the ravenous sports media culture finds itself T +24 hours past their biggest scoop of the summer.
The anointed one, the most finely tuned athlete/behemoth ever to come out of Ohio has left his hometown team. Instead of staying put and playing basketball martyr, LeBron James has decided to join two of his closest athlete/behemoth friends to form a mini-Harlem Globetrotter team in South Beach.
So, for fear of having to return to baseball, the World Cup, and other summer sports fare, the sports media has turned its attention to the jilted Cleveland fanbase.
Greatness: Bought or Bred?, Tiger’s Scruples vs. Big Mac’s Deltoids, Philandering Ad Campaigns, Glorifying the A-Political, and Uplifting the Downtrodden One Category at a Time.

Pardon the hyper activity, but this is a big internet day. Champion of information freedom Wikileaks, has just released a remarkable video of US military forces slaughtering a group of unarmed, non-aggressive civilians and then firing on Good Samaritans who come along to tend to the wounded. This video may be removed via lawsuit or gov’t order soon, but it will be too late. The world is seeing the consequences of US Imperial Occupation today. (PLEASE NOTE: this video is extremely graphic and disturbing, the more so because it’s real. View with caution.)
If you’ve listened to your Mass Media Overlords recently, you may be aware that the US Census is now considered a hugely controversial program. National radio frass-heap Rush Limbaugh has even begun to encourage his devotees to abstain from answering any race-based counting questions to stymie government programs that rely on this type of data. Other such objections have been handily summed up by Satirist Sub-Commander, Stephen Colbert.
