• Slow motion surfing. Via SwissMiss.
• Maybe a little too graphic design-ish for this blog, but I thought this Type Safari video, where a guy critiques signs around NY in a jeep, was pretty cool.
• Same with this video from Aaron Draplin about designing and collecting.
• While researching projects to do with HTML5, I ran across this great landing page with a dancing flamingo.  Make sure to try and disable the sound with the left button.
• Which lead me to this micro-site for the Over the Hills EP by the Dead Pirates.  The band is actually pretty good, check out their bandcamp.
• Even though Halloween is over, you should see of the NASA pumpkin carving contest.  Via Swiss Miss.
• Take a virtual ride on the upcoming world’s tallest rollercoaster in Orlando. Via Swiss Miss.
• Watching these kids play an foreign slot machine was pretty entertaining.
• This Christmas ad, though a little early, and it’s actual story, is pretty amazing.  Nora, you’ll like this.
