Very interesting point of view (rant) on the state of computer science in general, and software engineering in particular.

Sitting on a chair may be a little more complex of a process than we thought. Norman McClarean reaches multiple levels of metaphors with his super simple film. One of my favorite shorts.

Creepy, profound, weird, cool, heartwarming, and strange. And Jake Gyllenhaal! Made with a tiny budget in less than a month. So cult-worthy.
Cons: The rabbit mask is very scary.

A fascinating talk about why we should reconsider our system of education. It's also one of the funniest lectures I've seen..

A beautifully made, completely rideable wooden bike.

One of the best festivals in the world - usually have a great music line up, lots of wacky artsy stuff, cool crowd, family friendly (as much as a boozy festival can be!) and all-round good fun.

Great to see a Jesus sharing some of his thoughts with a more modern perspective...like the fact that he's tidied himself up a bit aswell!

Good exposition of the 2008 financial meltdown that resulted in the global economic crisis. Interesting to expose all the linkages between key players in the events preceding the crisis; also interesting to note the role some influential academics played in this story and how they need to be much more clear about their relationships with interested parties when offering opinion.

Haven't seen this show, but some of the sketches on youtube are great...

This classic movie clip is great and the Nouvelle Vague track is entirely apt - delightful!

Great selection of influential speeches from the 20th century; many known, some less so. Great book for dipping into every now and again...

Fascinating account of the attempts on K2 in August 2008. Tragically, the main summit attempt went horribly wrong and there were many deaths. As well as recounting the events, Bowley gives a lot of colour to the personalities and the motivations of those in this most extreme sport.

Not satisfied with being part of everyone's favourite comedy troupe (Monty Python), Michael Palin decided to be everybody's favourite travel companion. This was the first in his entirely excellent series of travel documentaries; he's an entirely natural traveller, having an easy-going, friendly, inquisitive demeanour and his adventures are a joy to watch.

Bill Bailey is one of the most intelligent British comics (and they're mostly a smart bunch!) - he's got a great sense of mischief and an incredibly unconstrained imagination; he's also a talented musician. Some of his best stuff is musical - I really like his Richard Clayderman style variant of Three Blind Mice (check it out on Grooveshark)...
