I love this. So does the flash player product manager.

ok skforty, tell us what you really think.

"Hey Rootman"

This has to be one of the most intensely emotional videos I've seen in a long while. Taken from three different angles by a hobbyist group, the rocket explodes 29 seconds after lift-off when it falls back to earth. I apologize in advance if anyone is offended by the death (not directly recorded) that occured as a result of the explosion, but I felt there was ample merit for the submission.

From wikipedia:

A long string of successful Soyuz launches was broken on October 15, 2002 when the unmanned Soyuz U launch of the Photon-M satellite from Plesetsk fell back near the launch pad and exploded 29 seconds after lift-off. One person was killed and eight injured.

From Youtube:

A Russian Soyuz rocket carrying a Foton M-1 satellite has a total failure during launch and collides into the Earth with a large explosion. Caught on camera by multiple people from different angles by a hobby or fan group (ESA Team). One person was killed and 8 were injured, they were workers for the project and are not seen on camera.

Can anyone actually find this elusive directive w199i?

GWB's first presidential directive relating to national security effectively replaced the system used by the previous administration (referred to as PDD). We now have NSDPs (http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/nspd/), which was put into place by GWB on February 13th, 2001 -- twenty four days after he took office.

Agitprop, methinks...

Yeah, Colbert is in the movie.

this video makes the whole Iraq endeavor seem worth all the trouble!

Maybe we are just attracted to the smell of your dirty laundry. Seriously though, it obviously bothers you quite a bit that someone would have the nerve to downvote 9 of your submissions in a week, but to reiterate what has already been said: a.) calling someone out on the blog over a molehill is not cool, b.) dc already responded, c.) the earth will continue to orbit the sun, in spite of it all.

Move on.

I saw Adam a few weeks ago drinking mojitos at a restaurant here in San Francisco. It was funny to watch his companions listening to him tell stories as they were collectively hanging off his every word.

Love mythbusters!

Siftbots dream of electric trolls?

I considered this might be a fake too, but the electromagnetic distortion toward the top of the frame lends some credibility IMHO.

Lost is one of my guilty pleasures

Whoa. I am sad, happy, and terribly amused -- all at once!

"Do a wheelie, robo-kitty!"

While not deaf, she does dress like a mennonite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mennonite). Oh, and she's a distant cousin of the mayor of San Francisco. Weird.

The audio from this set my cat off too! Amazing!
