Robot Job

This video (via BoingBoing) features a state-of-the-art robot in a UC Berkley lab that has been trained to pair socks together. That’s all it does. It takes two socks, one of which is inside out, it turns the sock inside in, and then it puts the two socks together. It is also worth noting that this video has been sped up to 15x the actual speed it takes this fucking machine to put two fucking socks together.“Fucking socks, how do they work” – Insane Robot Posse

Phew. I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Admittedly, the robots only have two years to become self-aware and launch SkyNet before they themselves are destroyed along with all the monks in the great Mountain Flood of 2012. But still. Have fun at dinner, robots. And no offense to robot scientists, but maybe it’s time for them to start inventing something useful, like a drinking fountain that dispenses Mountain Dew. I’m just saying: this thing takes up half the room, costs a quarter-of-a-million dollars to build, a team of experts to monitor, and does the work of a halfway house resident outreach program. Enough. Is there still cancer in the world? Do mobile phones still drop calls? Is milk kind of weird if you think about it? Can a horse be cross-bred with a bird to make a pegasus? How is baby formed?

Yo Yo Yo

As you can see, the Worldwide Yo-Yo Champion of 2010, Jensen Kimmitt, has mad yo-yo skillz. But the best part of all this is that he simultaneously demonstrates his skill with the yo-yo, while also pulling off the incredible trick of seeming kind of cool and possibly even normal, not anything like the weird, Asperger-y, basement nerd who smells like wet newspapers and social anxiety that one assumes he must be when the stage lights are off.
Second best part of all this is the crowds reaction. Holy smokes these people love yo-yo. Watch 1:23 when a fan throws two fists in the air. Yo-yo is so exciting!

Zits? YUCK!

Holler, dogs. You know, high school is pretty tough what with all the homework and tests and adults who don’t know anything and are such failures in their own lives that they’re just stupid teachers and principals and don’t even have their own TV show like how you’re going to have when you’re an adult. And it doesn’t get any easier when the hormones start kicking in and you get a total case of PIZZA FACE. Bagel Bitez!

The bullies don’t need any more ammo, word up.
But you don’t have to look like Pizza the Hut (Space Balls, dogs!) with ProActiv. It’s super awesome and totally rad, and nothing to be ashamed of because the human body is natural or some shit. And plus that, famous people use it. And if famous people use something, you know that thing is a great thing that you should use, too. “Oh sure, like what famous people, old man who is basically dead and so old? You probably don’t even know who any famous people are, you probably think a famous person is, like, Topher Grace.” Well, I’ll tell you who, brohams, JUSTIN BIEBER THAT IS WHO! Who’s the man now, dawg?!

See its not just for hard-core cases. People who don’t even have zits should probably spend money on this stuff. And the best part is, it’s perfect for kids like Justin Bieber. So, kids who are internationally-renowned multi-millionaire child stars and BFFs forever with Usher. You know, normal kids!

Hexapod Party 2010

I don’t have any problems with this, because how could you? This is the best. But I do think that the hexapods should be forced to watch each other compete, and we should see reaction shots on the hexapods’ faces when they realize they are getting schooled. Although, it wouldn’t all be crushing disappointment (unless you are blue-legged hexapod with a palm tree on top. Dude, you just weren’t ready. Get back out on the streets and get hungry!) You know that when the Michael Jackson hexapod gets out there, even the other hexapods have to smile, because hexadude is just filled with the spirit and/or programming language of dance.

Attention All Nerds

Everyone be yourselves. Express yourself. But not that much.
Nerds! Listen! You need to be more careful! As you nerds get older, there is this weird thing that happens where all of the social anxiety that you had felt for most of your life that forced you deeper and deeper into a non-traditional lifestyle centered around your idiosyncratic interests and hobbies becomes this kind of social confidence in which you proudly express the nerd that you have become.

Now, on the one hand, this is great. It suggests that you nerds have found a certain level of happiness and self-esteem that you were lacking before. You’ve discovered that everyone in the world is doing their best to make it through the day, and while some people wrap themselves in the defensive armor of the status quo, you have opted for the more difficult path, and yet here you are, a proud nerd, still standing tall. Good for you! You are an interesting and complex human being, perhaps more interesting and complex than most, which means that you really are the special snowflake that your mom and math teachers always told you that you were to get you to stop crying.
"I collect magic the gathering cards! I belong to nerd message boards. I am invincible!"

But nerds, it is important for you to recognize, even in this new era of daring and bravery, that if someone is videotaping you karate dancing at a party, they don’t have your best interests at heart. It is still because they think you are a nerd, and they want to tease the nerd. I know it might seem like the videotaping is a compliment coming from people who don’t know how to karate dance because they don’t have the training, but it is not a compliment.

Queen of All Nerdz

Ginger who? There is a new mega nerd on the Youtube scene, and he taking being a nerd VERY SERIOUSLY. I hope he wins that contest whatever the heck it is, and if he does I have an idea of what he will spend his prize money on.

-David

So last time he checked in with us, Ginger kid told us he was not a joke. Now, he is showing us he is not a joke because HE IS WEARING A BLAZER! And there is a necky underneath. I cannot argue with this.
In the case of People v. Gingers, Gingers is not guilty on all counts due to a nice outfit. Gingers are free to go and to have souls and whatever.

"You Know What!!"- Ginger

Is this getting old? No, it isn't. Our Ginger buddy is still on top of his YouTube game. He's brought some entirely new elements to the table in his latest video YOU KNOW WHAT. Lets consider what he is doing here.
1) Hes now in a new location, change is neat! Not sure where he is, but I will say that fence casts a lovely cross hatching shadow across his basketball shaped face. I'm guessing he isn't far from the original location because you can hear his yelling once again upset the neighbors dog.
2) Hes got a new exclamatory sound effect! I will describe it as a mix of a rasberry you would blow on the belly of a cat, and the sound a horse makes when anxious. He is still yelling, he didn't quit that. But this new sound fits nicely into the mix.
3) Almost crying. Hes done this in earlier videos, but now he is really dialing it in. Almost crying is a critical skill as a teen nerd guy. It allows you to express sincerity while staying on the right side of the crying fag line. Thats a line you dont want to cross.
4.) So many feelings! Besides the almost crying there is more emotions going on here then ever before. I feel like I just rode a roller coaster of emotion, and I had my hands up the whole entire time! RAGE turns to sadness, then an earnest plea, vulnerability and humility, then more RAGE AND ACRIMONY! If saying 'that deserves an Oscar' weren't such a tired cliche, that is exactily would I would say. When will YouTube get its own award show? I hope before 2012.

So in conclusion, unlike American Pie IV, this is just as good as ever, good material, compelling presentation-its really what great YouTubes are all about. Still he hasn't yet presented any evidence Gingers really do have souls, but I'm guessing he is saving that for later.

Sadder, Funnier and Realer

Fresh from the driveway between the neighbor's house and his own, Ginger is back, and now he has legal reasonings for things. Man, he has a lot to say here. But let me just go ahead a summarize it for you guys. The bottom line is basically this: "So, you can't tell me nothing, I do what I want. Everybody shut up."

At the risk of being a hater I have to say the fact that his beady eyes remain unblinking throught all of his videos is not helping his argument that have souls.

For MLK Day

Sometimes you come across things on the web that can be very confusing in a lot of different ways. Like, if I had to judge this clip and had a triangular graphic equalizer with sides labled FUNNY, SAD, REAL, then I would probably mark X in the center of the triangle with a ;-( face next to it. So many emotions! And though it has been about 33 years since I was last legally allowed in a highschool I know that public addressing of teen haters will not help this Ginger's cause. Stop now! I know this is a Blog about fashion and finding the kewlest jeans, but let me address this kid directly and offer a few words of advice. Ginger: Shut your G.D. mouth. Get off Youtube and keep your head down in school for chrissakes, do not anwser questions in class, it will only draw attention to your gay Ginger voice, continue to have lunch with the teachers and if you play your cards right you maybe will be able to get your butt outta there in one piece. Also become good at something like computers or some shit. But stay off Youtube.

Mad cat

I'd be pissed too if I was that cat.
Bro your ginger girlfriend is hardly impressed. Show her some LARP fighting skills or take her to Denny's or something. I bet that would work.

F-R-E-S-H. Fresh.

The fact that I can name each Jonas Brother probably puts me on some kind of watch list. I can't understand them. They’re so clean. Looking at them makes me feel homeless and insecure about the way I smell.
