The video below is a visual re-interpretation of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. It’s a bit geeky, of course, but that’s why I like it.

What I’m interested in is how the visuals were produced. They are high-quality animated vectors and they look really great.

It’s a recording of the show “What’s my line?” when Bishop Fulton Sheen appeared on the program. Archbishop Fulton Sheen had one of the most popular shows on television in its early days, teaching the Catholic faith and getting enormous ratings. He truly was a pioneer when it came to engaging modern media.

They will be playing against St. Michael the Archangel’s youth group. As part of preparing for the event, Brian and I sat down and did some editing of a promo video that will show to the kids that evening. The video is designed to highlight “spiritual gifts” that people have in dodgeball.

Probably because I’m a math guy and I like fun charts. Today, as a quick lunch break item, I decided to try my hand at putting one together, so here’s my thought of the day.

This clip below still cracks me up!

Apparently, there is a new show that is debuting tomorrow on Cartoon Network called “Look Around You.” The show is designed to poke fun at all the instructional videos from the 70s and 80s that were shown in schools. Below, you’ll find an excerpt of one that aired in Britain. I’m actually pretty interested to see how the US show stacks up to the British humor.

I think I’ll be investing in a pigskin and a sweaty locker room mandle for the big game come February.

Sometimes, I get nostalgic and wonder what happened to the good ol’ days. (Actually, I’m completely surprised I still know the words to this video. It came out when I was in eighth grade and I spent way too much time memorizing the lyrics.)

Conan O’Brien decided to do a parody of the show 24, calling it 60. The catch – each epsiode is only one second long. One night, he decided to air 10 episodes back to back.

Because I’m such a 24 addict, I thought this was totally hilarious.

In this video it does. Thanks, Brian!

It looks like he really went to all those different locations! Check out his blog here.

Recently, on his show, the Amercian Ambassador to Hungary came on and explained the final details in the bridge naming:

Too bad I don’t have the 5 million it costs for the car. If you’re interested in donating, please let me know.
