Fingers of the Future

I love my Wired magazine, and I’ve been waiting to put this article up, so here it is. Dan Didrick of nearby Naples, FL is quite an inventor to have come up with such a brilliantly simple prosthetic digit.

He calls it X-Finger, and it is free of wires, batteries, and invasive probes. To operate your new finger, all you have to do is close your hand as normal. Watch a video and check out the rest after the jump.  [Read more...]

Miss South Carolina: Biggest Blonde Moment on Video

In what has to be the biggest blonde moment ever caught on video, Miss South Carolina could make all the other blondes in the world simultaneously gasp at her answer to the simple question:

Good Times YouTube; Evolution of Dance

This is still one of my all-time favorite videos. It’s a guy dancing through the ages of songs. His name is Judson Laipply and he is dancing the most creative compilation you’ll ever see, unless he tops himself. - evolutionofdance.com - Go there for more info including the complete song list! He’s gone big-time since/because of this video.

Don’t think it’s worth watching? It’s got 54 MILLION views and 56,000 comments since April 2006.

Cuter than a button: Conny – Britain’s Got Talent

I watched this today and was quite impressed with this little 6 year old’s singing. She comes on stage to sing Over the Rainbow to a packed auditorium. She does her thing quite well, and I am impressed.

I wheeled over to my co-worker to ask if she’s seen the video yet. She said, “I hate that song, and I don’t believe that little kids can sing great.”

That pretty much ended that conversation, so how about it? Do you agree with her? Check it out for yourself.
