Here at The Lake I don't get enough intertubules to watch a video reliably. So I can't separate the DJ effect from the Slow Connection effect in this video, but it looks good:

Here is a quick Apolo Ohno quiz. Which one of these pictures is fake?
If you picked picture B - you are probably correct. That is a picture of "Apolo" being catapulted into a pool of slime at the Nickelodeon awards show (click on the link to see the video - I don't think I can embed it). Ok -…
The image here of a pancake cooking isn't particularly interesting in its own right, other than as documentation of our weekend ritual at Chateau Steelypips. Saturday and sunday mornings, Kate sleeps in while the kids watch cartoons and I cook pancakes for them. SteelyKid absolutely drowns hers in…
Sciencegeekgirl is blogging from the AAPT. She talks about showing something interesting to get students thinking, and here is her example:

I have been reflecting on my recent failure to realize that the Giant Water Slide Jump was fake (more analysis here). I think the guys that made this video did a really good job on several levels. First, the motion appears to do two important things:

Man, this is one fast-moving meme. I've seen this thing everywhere over the past week. It's a catchy song, though, and Carl Sagan is awesome, so I'm cool with that.
Yup, I watch it every its posted (and many times to boot!). Sagan was the reason I got into Science, so hearing him speak always makes me a little emotional. Plus, itâs amazing just how rhythmic his speech is and how it requires little editing to match that of a song.
Cool, but I still prefer MC Hawking

That was awesome! :-)
Since you are using Linux, here is a tip (that you may already know):
For (almost) any flash video that you are watching, look in the /tmp folder for a strangely named file. It is generally the last one (use ls -ltr). Once the video completes downloading, do not navigate away from the page (it will remove the tmp file). Instead copy that file in /tmp/ to somewhere else with another name and run it with mplayer. I use this method to keep flash videos for off-network play.
Note, the copy is not necessary to play it - you can play it directly, just don't rely on the Ubuntu tab completion as it expects certain extensions. The mplayer -identify will give you hints as to how to name the extension.
