This is a really long video for the Sift, but worth every minute.

TED wannabe... but still good.

This American Life is brilliant. A radio show that in my opinion is better than every other show on any broadcast medium (the television version is very good too). I'm not knocking other shows, mind. I've sat in my car in a cold garage listening to it for a half hour after getting home without even really realizing how long I've been there. It's just that good.

wow .. the last 10 minutes of this was probably the most worthwhile 10 minutes I spent at the sift the whole week.
