Reality distortion field remains strong with Steve Jobs after antennagate
Next Media Animation creates "colorful, eye-catching and informative animated graphics each day for TV news and websites around the world". They are credited for putting together the following video, which apparently aired in Taiwan. No sound required:
The best part is when Steve Jobs uses his lightsaber to cut off a couple fingers of a customer who has been holding his iPhone 4 "wrong". There. All fixed.

Making of AT-AT day afternoon
From Canadian film-maker Patrick Boivin, the mastermind behind that Iron Man vs Bruce Lee short from last year, has posted up a behind-the-scenes look at how he constructed his "AT-AT Day Afternoon" video.
Not what I was expecting. It all comes together with some pretty impressive stop-motion and simple blue-screen work. Surprisingly, no CGI.

Mega Robot Returns!
This test of the special effects house Kaktus Film's "photo realism" skills is 24 seconds of mechanical rampaging gloriousness:
The official Kaktus site has also posted up some images and a QuickTime movie of their pitch to Marvel for alternate Iron Man 2 robots (none made the cut, though not due to a shortage of awesomeness).

Comedian Julia Segal put together a batch of screenshots from each Quentin Tarantino's films showing off the director's affinty for the "trunk shot". I don't recall the Inglorious Basterds scene actually coming from within a trunk - still, an interesting observation.
Louis: Who's that?
Ordell: That's Beaumont.
Louis: Who's Beaumont?
Ordell: An employee I had to let go.

You really should be participating in the quest to discover The Most Awesomest Thing Ever. Here's where things currently stand at the Top Ten:
1. The Internet
2. Life
3. Oxygen
4. Music
5. A Nap
6. Technology
7. Lasers
8. Physical Intimacy
9. Lightsabers (real)
10. Lightning
Seems about right. Not so sure about those last two, though a lightsaber would be pretty awesome. Ninjas are running 11th, beating out the likes of Cheese, Bruce Lee, and the Industrial Revolution.
