iJustine is the beach Snow White

Posted in Featured by Brandice on July 3, 2008

Justine went to the beach recently and was inundated with adorable squirrels who ate her snacks right out of her hands.

I think I spent at least 75% of this video terrified that the outcome would be dozens of angry squirrels (I’ve never seen squirrels behave this nicely before), but Justine really was a regular modern day beach Snow White, charming them with her Triscuits and getting amazing footage of the little critters.

(The seagulls seemed less friendly at the end… I get the impression she was throwing a stuffed Wall-E ahead of her to distract the seagulls so she could escape?)

If YOU have some beach footage this summer, don’t forget to add it to the BeachToday group!

Leggyblonde - Dimitri the Stud

Posted in Featured by Robert Sandie on July 2, 2008

Breaking news, folks. Leggyblonde officially has the world’s creepiest stalker, complete with multiple voicemail messages, a verbal scolding for not realizing that he is “a catch,” and strict orders that she better call him, or… not? Watch the video to hear Leggyblonde’s hot mystery man (read: creepy indecisive stalker).

Moblogic interviews Jill Bolte Taylor

Posted in Featured by Brandice on July 2, 2008

Yesterday, I uploaded (with permission through Creative Commons) what is by far my favorite TED talk. To have some perspective and background on this interview by Moblogic, you can watch Jill Taylor’s amazing TED Talk here, and I recommend doing so before watching Lindsay’s interview.

Not only is this a great interview by Moblogic, but Jill Taylor is still in the Top 10 at TED. She’s a fascinating woman who makes the brain interesting, and connects the way our brain works to the broader picture of our society currently works and how it could work if we got our right and left hemisphere in balance.

I hope you’ll enjoy today’s feature, and if you enjoy Lindsay’s stella Moblogic content, don’t forget to hit up the Moblogic profile and click that “Subscribe” button.

The Dog Files - Ice Cream Social

Posted in Featured by Brandice on July 1, 2008

Are you a dog lover? If so, have you checked out The Dog Files (friend: dogfiles)?

This is a really great, high quality show about dogs that has just recently come to Viddler, and I’m happy to showcase them today with their pilot episode, which shows a local community’s ice cream social event for dogs and their owners.

What’s really cool about this event is that Edy’s sponsors ice cream for the dog owners and Frosty Paws for the dogs! I’ve seen first hand how well pups like the Frosty Paws, so this is event is clearly a special treat for both dog and owner.

The Dog Files followed up their pilot with a more serious piece on dog rescue that is also really well done and features a lot of adorable rescue dogs. If you like the show, be sure to hit their profile and click the “Subscribe” button!

Interview with David Karp of Tumblr

Posted in Featured by Brandice on June 30, 2008

Sarah at pop17 recently scored an interview with David Karp of Tumblr, which is pretty popular for simple, easily customized blogging. One thing I wasn’t aware of in terms of Tumblr features is the re-blogging feature (pretty cool), which is explained in the interview.

To circumcise, or not to circumcise?

Posted in Featured by Brandice on June 29, 2008

Owen of DadLabs recently had what might be one of the last conversations I would picture the typical dad having with his mother… the debate about whether or not to make that little snip when your son is born. In this case, however, his mom is a pediatrician, so her opinion holds more than just the weight of a concerned mom. She makes some interesting points, and I’ve never really given a whole lot of thought to the issue.

What do you think? Why have you or haven’t you circumcised your own little ones? Put your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to subscribe to DadLabs if you like what you see.

Rocketboom talks snail mail and space

Posted in Featured by Brandice on June 28, 2008

Attention astronomy enthusiasts and snail lovers! Have you been watching Rocketboom this week?

Monday’s episode of Rocketboom caught my attention straight off with a story about possible water on Mars and some humorous suggestions as to other possibilities for explaining the interesting photos coming from all that gadgetry we’ve got up in space watching said planet. As someone who’s still sad about Pluto’s demotion as a planet, I was also very interested in what’s going to happen with the “Planet Debate” mentioned, where it seems several angry scientists are going to get together to further argue about Pluto’s classification.

If you’re not into space-related matters, there’s some humorous mention of the “red paper clip” guy, as well as that guy who dances all around the world, and it seems some scientists have decided to take the term “snail mail” quite literally!

PopSiren and the severed head

Posted in Featured by Brandice on June 27, 2008

This has to be the creepiest history lesson I’ve received in quite a while. PopSiren’s Moujan Z gives us a crash course on Jeremy Bentham’s preserved body and severed head, kept at University College London.

What’s even creepier (and somewhat hilarious) is that the severed head was used for college pranks. I may have done some seriously crazy things in college, but relocating a severed head is not one of the things on my list of college antics.

As always, if you like what you see from PopSiren, remember to hit up their profile and click the magically delicious “Subscribe” button. The five millionth person to click that blue button will receive a severed head in the mail… maybe.

Angelina Jolie in “Wanted”

Posted in Featured by Brandice on June 26, 2008

Summer blockbuster season must be going full force, because I am catching wind of a lot of movies that I would actually pay $8.50 to see at the cinema these days (I’m sure you can tell by all the exciting movie interviews we’re seeing here at Viddler lately). This upcoming flick is no exception.

RealTVfilms has a great interview with Angelina Jolie about her upcoming movie, Wanted, which is coming out this Friday. Angelina has a lot to say about working with James McAvoy (hunk!) and Morgan Freeman, and I like that she’ll admit she is sometimes just really in the mood for making a good action flick.

With all the options these days, what movie are YOU going to see this Friday? Leave your movie choice in the comments!

Vegas Premiere of “Get Smart”

Posted in Featured by Brandice on June 25, 2008

iJustine headed out to the Vegas premiere of Get Smart recently for IGotShotGun (friend: igotshotgun) and not only got a great interview and autograph from Dwayne Johnson (formerly well known as The Rock) but also gave him a very special autographed picture of her own. Classic Justine!
