Richard Dawkins reads his hate-mail aloud

A cool video of fellow Satan-fodder Richard Dawkins reading some of the profane, violent, hateful email he gets from his greatest fans; Creationists. His little chuckle at the end is heart-warming and it is always a pleasure to hear the author and biologist speak.

An anthropological introduction to YouTube

A friend of mine (HI BRYAN) is currently doing a digital cultures class at uni and has been nattering non-stop about it for the past few weeks. Luckily it is all very interesting stuff and this video he sent me was really an amazing piece of work. It totally articulated some of my thoughts about the value of this goofy little video sharing website and by extension the entirety of the ways people share information online. It's an amazing video and if you have an hour to sit and watch it, Michael Wesch will totally blow your mind.
