The Paradox of Choice - Why More Is Less - Google Video
It takes a little while to get to the good stuff, the results of some insightful studies, but even with the mediocre production (the visual aids, comics, are not shown, only the power point slides – probably some copyright crap), I still found this entertaining. But maybe I just enjoy listening to an old Jewish guy from back east rant. And it's totally applicable to work, justifying Jeff's and my decision to remove backwards workflows (why provide a choice when you don't need to?) Ok, so maybe it was just Jeff wanting to delete all the text everywhere, and my meeting him halfway, but the end result is good.

I'd like to point out the parallels between these two articles, California Split - New York Times and Sweet home Alabama? - Top Gear, only I'm too lazy and they're pretty obvious.

xkcd - Blanket Fort
this comic hits that blend of childlike amusement and kink that makes life so good. and the title text (rest your cursor on the image) adds that bit of morbidity that rounds it all out.

Apple - Trailers - Blades of Glory - March 30, 2007
Cybil saw a screening of this the other night. She said that Jon Heder stole the show. Also, that this trailer doesn't do justice to how goddamned uncomfortable their first routine together is.
