Inside a frozen pizza factory shows the process which produces two million Goodfella’s pizzas every week. Strangely glorious.

A ‘good’ blog post

In posts on 13 November 2008 tagged humour, internet, Onion, video, YouTube with no comments

From the Onion (who else?): YouTube contest challenges users to make a ‘good’ video.

Because the idea of making a good video is new to so many of its users, YouTube offered a list of suggestions including:

• Have some reason for making a video other than ‘I own a camera’.
• Make sure the subject of the video can be seen, and
• Shoot the video while sober.

Man in 1958: “Man may be unwittingly changing the world’s climate through the waste products of his civilization.”

Nearly everybody else for next fifty years: “Don’t be silly, as if that could happen.”

Whoops.

An animated video showing some of the creatures evolved by the Darwin at Home project, which uses spare computer cycles to create these ‘organisms’.

This video of Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues overlaid with XML markup might be the geekiest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s the work of a body called the Text Encoding Initiative, whose mission is to “develop and maintain guidelines for the digital encoding of literary and linguistic texts.”

I’m sure the man would approve, once somebody explained to him what XML tagging is.
