Amazing Catch by Ball Girl“;” alt=””/>

Is this for real? It appears to be edited slightly. What do you think? If it is real this girl needs to be booked on Letterman so she can get some serious props and credit for that amazing catch!

Uncovered by Douglas Karr

Update: This was a Gatorade TV spot I believe

AFI 10 Top 10 Movies

AFI 10 Top 10 Movies

I’m a huge movie lover. I used to watch a lot more than I do now. Being single provided a lot more free-time and money to take advantage of staying up-to-date on all the latest releases.

The American Film Institute has put together their list of the Top 10 movies in ten different genres.

Animation Romantic Comedy Western Sports Mystery Fantasy Sci-Fi Gangster Courtroom Drama Epic

Of those 100 movies I’ve only seen 48 of them. That’s a lot of great movies I need to be catching up on.

How many of the 100 have you seen? What are your favorites in each genre that didn’t make it into AFI list?

MySpaceTV Player Finally Makes Sense

MySpaceTV Player Finally Makes Sense

One of the reasons I don’t watch much MySpaceTV is its horrible, horrible video player. When you have a slider bar, forward and back buttons are pointless. Why waste space with volume controls when you can just slide them out?

The whole thing just stinks of offline video thinking. Good to see they’ve finally done something about it.

Recall that NBC CEO Jeff Zucker admits Hulu, the sucky NBC/Fox video site, copied a lot of stuff from YouTube. Looks like Fox’s MySpaceTV just did the same with their player.

Chad Hurley Tells the Story of YouTube

August 14th, 2008

At a startup dinner in Palo Alto the other night, YouTube founder Chad Hurley told the story of YouTube. Grab some popcorn, kids, because this is thrilling stuff.

YouTube’s been around three years. TV’s been around fifty years. The former is well ahead of schedule to kick the latter’s ass.

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)

August 11th, 2008

Remember Matt Harding, the guy who did a silly dance in various locations around the world and posted it on YouTube? He’s at it again in Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) — and this time, he gets the locals into the act. Dancing Japanese maids FTW.

On a side note, this is how to do viral video marketing right — all heart, no bullshit. I honestly want a pack of Stride gum now. That’s probably why Stride has been sponsoring Matt’s sojourns for two years running.

Vidnik: Video Diaries In A Snap

Vidnik: Video Diaries In A Snap

Google has a new app called Vidnik. It allows you to use your Macs built-in video camera to record videos and upload it to your YouTube account in a snap.

Vidnik is currently at version 0.13.0. I downloaded and tried it and it was fairly easy to use. It still needs a lot of polish. It doesn’t respond as quickly as it should.

This app is great for making quick videos for your blog. Diaries perhaps? Or just simply saying hello to friends. Download it here and give it a go.
