From the creator’s video description:
This is my senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its.

What I really love about this video, apart from the funny gibberish the baby is saying, is how she moves her hands and fingers at first to make an almost adult mannerism. It looks like she starts by outlining a problem that’s been bugging her for a while.
In a segment called “i” on News on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart takes on CNN’s big embracement of social media. The key thing he says: “Why would I want to follow CNN on Twitter, if I want to follow CNN, I can follow them on CNN?” The slamming in the video begins around the 3:30 mark where he makes fun of the ridiculousness of asking people for their opinions on every popular social networking site like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc. CNN’s adoption of social media of course is not exactly to “let people make the news”, but to have the most direct contact with their target demographic. Participatory journalism? Yeah right. More like flattering our audience.
The video is a remix of scenes from Quentin Tarantino films and the music that is used in said films. Made by Eclectic Method.

Matti Niinimäki explains over at Vimeo:
I have always liked the voice of William S. Burroughs and I’ve always wanted to do something with the Origin and Theory of the Tape Cut-Ups clip.
The title is a quote taken from the video above. Tyler Cowen, of Marginal Revolution, talks about his approach to blogging and advises that you shouldn’t be thinking about what readers would like because “it makes the blog boring, less innovating, and less entrepreneurial”.(paraphrased)
The 8 minutes are totally worth watching and it’s great to hear about smart people other than tech bloggers, or the “how to blog bloggers”, talking about the medium.
Have you ever been in a argument with a religious person and he/she tells you to be open minded? This video explains very meticulously why that argument is invalid.

Simply the best Twitter spoof I’ve seen ever. Beware: If you take Twitter seriously it will sting.
