This clip has been making the rounds on the Internet, so odds are you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, you should watch it, preferably in HD at Vimeo. At the very least, click the title of this post to see it full size. 
The premise is simple: Matthew Harding took a trip to 42 countries to film short clips of him doing a silly dance, sometimes alone, sometimes with lots of local folks, often in beautiful locations. The result is this 4:28 video.
I’m proud to share the fact that this guy is from Connecticut. They don’t call us nutmeggers for nothing.
Update: The song is (called Praan) is available at Amazon’s MP3 store.

Now that’s a funny commercial.
I almost feel bad for him, except he’s truly one of the spoiled brats of the Senate:
The word is spreading: The Internet is not a big truck. It’s “a series of tubes.”
Two weeks ago Senator Ted Stevens, a Republican from Alaska, shared this information at a Senate committee hearing to explain why he voted against an amendment aimed at ensuring that traffic on the Internet be delivered equally, an idea known as “net neutrality.”
Just in case you didn’t get enough of those two Chinese boys, here they are doing another Backstreet Boys hit. Thanks, Josh.
In discussing an episode of inter-blogosphere name calling and the Sheehan blog coverage on the right, The Editors at Poorman.net wrote this absolutely hilarious piece. They’re always funny and nearly always insightful so add them to your aggregator now! (though I found this link via Atrios, to be honest. )
… Cole responds, pointing out that Sheehan was not called a “whore” literally, but actually a “media whore”, which is a metaphorical kind of whore that doesn’t necessarily fuck people for money (Jeff Gannon nonwithstanding.) No, I won’t get out of here - that’s what he said. Go see for yourself. So if anybody thought that Erick was literally saying that Sheehan fucks people for money, please disabuse yourself of that notion forthwith! He merely meant that she behaves analogously to a whore in her dealings with the media. Please adjust your views accordingly, and remember to always beware of metaphors.
He also asks:
Hey [The Editors] - when you start out as a lying asshole, why should we waste any more time reading you?
I would like to stress here that Cole is not saying that this weblog is literally edited by some kind of giant, hyper-intelligent, dishonest anus, but merely that The Editors are analogous to a fibbing cornhole in our dealings with him. Now, as long time readers have no doubt suspected, this weblog is literally edited by an enormous, mendacious, disembodied anus - but that’s not what Cole was saying, so please don’t be confused about that. Anyway, to get back to his original question, the answer is “free candy”.
(Am I a bad person because I am singing “enormous, mendacious, disembodied anus” to myself to the tune of the Beach Boys’ smash hit single “Kokomo”? Or am I a bad person in spite of it? Discuss.)
Careful… it kinda gets stuck in your head.
Bram passed along a video detailing the latest in Apple innovation. I almost want one. And, I think that Apple should prototype one of that size that’s functional just for kicks.
Following in the footsteps of Brandeis’ own Scott Shandler, Curtis Heroman has entered the NBA draft. Curtis, a Sujal-sized intramural player, has shocked the country by forgoing his last year of college eligibility to make his friends and family laugh.
