Aeromodeling

This is a video of a cool display made by using two bands attached to the wings of a model airplane. As the airplane moves and does some cool tricks indoors, it creates a really cool show.

Biker Hit by Car

This is an insane clip where a biker gets hit by a car that runs a red light. And then after the hit, the biker gets up as if nothing has happened, and he walks around, apparently not hurt at all.

Bush Song

This is a masterpiece of video editing, with a guy taking short clips from President Bush's speeches and compiling them into the song "Sunday Bloody Sunday", from the famous band U2.

Interface Change

The Google Video interface has been changed. They now show videos from all categories, but this new interface does not look that great in my opinion. View this new interface by visiting Google Video. The only good part about the new interface is the movers and shakers and Top 10 display on the home page. Besides that, the categories do not look that good. Hopefully they will continually revise the home page, it has some good ideas to it, but some flaws as well.

Horn Blasters

This is a video about a couple of guys who go around and blast weird-sounding horns at people, and then recording the reactions of the people around with a camera. A really funny clip.

Materazzi: The Dirtiest Defender

Now, a video about the victim of Zidane's headbutt, Marco Materazzi. The ironic thing about the headbutt is that the victim is usually the troublemaker, and the instigator is the one who is the famous star player.

Zidane Headbutt

Everyone who watches soccer and reads this blog should know it wouldn't be long before Zidane's headbutt made its way to a blog entry. Too bad for Zidane, he was a great player.

Mac and PC Wars

This clip is a really clever and funny response to the series by Apple that puts the Mac and PC as two people, and the Mac person can do all these things that the PC person can't. Well, PC people have responded with this really funny video. By the way, I'm a PC user, and PC's pwn Macs.

Worst Soccer Keeper and Superman Section

If you're a goalkeeper, before you drop the ball in open territory, make sure you look in all directions. In other Google Video news, a Superman Returns section has been added to Google Videos, containing behind the scene videos, trailers for the movie, and other cool Superman Returns videos. And its entirely free. It also includes a comprehensive map of "Superman sightings", and other great Superman-related content. Check it out!

Racing Car Video

This video is a driver-viewpoint shot from within a racing car. It's really cool, and shows that its not as easy to drive a car fast on a track as one may think. By the way, sorry about my one week absence from blogging, I was occupied in some other stuff, but I'm back now =) .
