Ideation
Ideation is a well drawn and very short short by East Coast animator Jeremiah Dickey.

Obama counterpunches
This is just perfect counter attacking.
- When answering a question on what people can do everyday to help the environment, Obama suggests taking better care of cars like filling up the tires. Republicans seize on this, mocking his “energy policy”. Obama responds.
- McCain posts an ad claiming to be the original maverick. Obama responds.
- McCain attacks Obama for being celebrity, this time Paris Hilton does the responding.
Average athlete vs Olympic athlete
I spent many evenings at the same east river track during my High School track days. I would have loved to seen this.
Jakob Dylan - Something Good This Way
Seemingly simple but it is quite cohesive. Antville commenter:
…beautiful framing (the symmetry and that every shot has a deliberate ‘horizon’ across the middle of the screen). lovely grade.
Grace Jones - Corporate Cannibal
Molten, hell, corporate.
Hoop Dream (entire film available)
This film is constantly voted the best documentary of all time. It is available in full at Hulu in 420p HD. Cannot get better than that online.
The film remains relevant just like it did when it first came out. Two young basketball players struggle to fulfill a common dream which is to make to the NBA. The two kids have contrasting styles and personalities, each story could have made a great documentary in of itself. But together, the stories highlight the hi’s and lo’s of each story even better. Once in a lifetime kind of movie.
Oil Addiction
If we’re addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them.
Animation and design: Chris Weller. Directed by Max Joseph. Music: Genesis by Justice.

Ten Kens - Bearfight!
Boy! It gets your blood boiling. Though there are quite a lot of intellectual ideas hiding underneath the surface, it remains visceral.
Ryan Larkin - Walking
From the creator subject of Ryan (it made our best of 2006 list). Another classic!
HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO (THE STORY OF A SIGN)
Lovely idea.
Ticklinks: The party of foot-in-mouth disease
- “In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out. That’s what autism is.”
- “‘Oreo’ -black on the outside, while white on the inside“
- “The Iraq-Pakistan border“
- “Well actually that was The Joker“
- “Maybe we do whine too much” Yes, you do.
Update: They keep on giving.
- “Eductaion” I like your spelling better.
- “My friends, we have to drill off shore. We have to do it…The oil executives say within a couple of years we could be seeing results from it.” Like I always say, listen to the oil executives!
- No video but you can pretty much see the confusion. Video - Shame on CBS.
In Search of a Midnight Kiss
Starts off pretty sappy but it grew on me. I am intrigued.
Font Conference
I love the description:
This video wasn’t long enough, so we made it double-spaced.
Today Show: Meredith interviews McCain
Meredith Vieira is my new hero. McCain was probably expecting another fan from the media.
