On Aug. 16, 1960 Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger at 102,800 feet above the earth jumped–into the near-vacuum of space. Simply an amazing story!

Creepy. A company is planning to offer video screen attached to tombstones, so that visitors can watch video of the deceased. The screens will be solar-powered, and will only output audio through a headphone jack, so the cemetary won’t be filled with the cacophany of dead people’s voices.
If this takes off, I see a new pastime emerging… cemetary television!

A remake of the courtroom scene at the end of “A Few Good Men”, made with the Half-Life 2 game engine. Very impressive.

A very funny and cool flash movie. It’s a physics lesson in the Super Mario Brothers universe. The part where Mario breaks the sound barrier is great! Definitely worth seeing.

A hilarious video spoof of GTA by Dave Chappelle. I really hope all the problems surrounding season 3 get resolved. The man’s a genius!
