kids to watch

I posted before about my friend Sergio, of Current TV’s White Hot Top Five fame, and also the Friday Night Lights Crying video- which by the way I still think is amazing. Anywhoo, Sergio and his posse of funny boys in LA have a comedy group called Cream. Their videos are juvenile, ridiculous, and just all around really fun to watch.

Keep checking their channel on FunnyorDie because their videos are worth getting distracted at work,at home, on the go, or…and I cant think of anywhere else you’d watch web based  video…you get what I’m saying.We can expect great stuff out of these guys so they are definitely worth keeping an eye on.

who is magibon?

So I was on youtube last night looking at the new videos from my subscription channels and I saw a response to magibon from iJustine (Justine Ezarik). Of course immediately I youtube search magibon and find a ton of responses to her videos….Finally I find her channel, which is called MRirian, not magibon, and watch some of her videos.

I agree, she is adorable, but I still don’t get it. She has a video with her nodding and making squinty faces that has over a million views! That about blew my socks off! Seriously though, this magibon youtube phenom is insane, and now it’s coming to the US. We can’t understand what this little pipsqueak is saying, but people are still posting responses to her, mimicking her videos, and posting video responses. I understand the soldier boy fad, I get the ghost ride ya whip fad, but I have to say this magibon thing may take a while for me to really get into…I mean I can understand why it would be fun to mimic her, in fact I might just do that, but before I jump on the band wagon, anyone have any insights as to why she is so popular? Or how she got so popular? I’m really in the dark here…

terrific eye candy

Here’s my second post in my “appreciate it” category:

Two of my very good friends, one of which was my roommate for a little bit when I first moved to Brooklyn, started this site over a year ago: (terrific, whistle) is their baby; it’s what they do when they aren’t working at Magnum Photos and Powerhouse Books.

(terrific, whistle) is a plethora of photography, multimedia(the same type I discussed in my first “appreciate it” post about MediaStorm), and videos. The two of them take wonderfully stimulating photos that are a pleasure to look through. Lately they have been focusing more on their multimedia projects, which I have no qualms with because I love watching them!

The site isn’t jam packed full of too-much-to-look-at, so you can easily spend a few minutes a day without getting completely overwhelmed with the feeling like you are never going to be able to see everything on there. I would definitely recommend checking it out, it’s a fun site to add to you del.icio.us and go back to occassionally.

My only wish is that they would upload more videos, because the videos that I’ve seen outside of (terrific, whistle) are amazing and I would love them to be on the site so everyone could see them.
