Vacation Time?



How much vacation time do you get at your job? I'm guessing your answer is somewhere between "not enough" and "I couldn't take it anyway". I recently discovered one company with a very different philosophy on allowing their employees to have a life. Motek is a software firm in Beverly Hills, CA that encourages vacations of 5 weeks. They send everybody home at 5pm and lock the door on the weekends. They'll even give you $5,000 to help you pay for vacations of 3 weeks or more. And if you can handle this type of a work environment for 10 years, they will lease you a luxury car and pay for the insurance. Think this sounds too good to be true?

Climbing a Crane in France



Not sure why but this video affects me like no other. Nothing bad happens, and I know that but it still makes me uncomfortable.

Apparently there is history between Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon. Damon finally got his revenge. (thanks Leah)

Super Bowl Frenzy

I love Chris Berman. I really do. This video just came out after 8 years of hiding. Apparently Chris takes his work seriously and some of the off camera crew was upsetting him.


Sick Sk8 Video Bro

Amazing slow-motion skate video intro by Spike Jonze. Thanks to Kottke for the link.

Don't get too excited



This is a tribute video to all of the classic internet fads, mostly youtube related. Supposedly this all stuff that "We've all seen one billion times" but actually I'd only seen or heard of about 60%. Admittedly, much of it isn't funny- Did anyone like Numa Numa really? But it's a great "did you miss this" compilation and it's kind of catchy to boot. It just seemed like a natural end to this experiment, since for me it was launching point into other stuff like "Chocolate Rain" or the Kubrick Audition.

Well that wraps up our little experiment- thanks to Leah, Erin, Meghan and Zoellers Pants Down for all their help. See you soon with "In Defense of Tom Cruise" and "Two perspectives on Spinozan metaphysics in Tin Cup ."
