The amazing true story of two struggling indie filmmakers who hop on Segways to cross America and discover that life looks very different when you take it slowly.

(From a marketing perspective, their web site @ www.10mph.com is extremely impressive -- other indie filmmakers would do well to emulate it!)

Movie starts 2 mins in.

The Airbus A380 takes off at the annual Bourget air show. The Airbus ascends only gradually at airport takeoffs, but the Airbus can climb much more quickly than most of us realize. What makes this clip so bizarre is how slow the Airbus seems to be moving... you're left wondering, "how can such a massive piece of metal not just fall out of the sky?" Impressive aerodynamic engineering.

Clip from a documentary on the Discovery channel: In 1972, the CIA learned the Soviets were funding ESP research in an effort to spy on America. That led to the CIA meeting psychic Ingo Swann where American skeptical military brass were so convinced with his demonstration that they budgeted $50,000 to do more research on this new "low cost radar". The end result was a clandestine group of "remote viewers" used all the way up to the first Gulf War. Although the program was publicly ridiculed and then discontinued, it now turns out there may have been something to it after all.

I can't believe there are a few movies in here I *haven't* seen yet. Kudos to anyone who guesses the horror film with Ted Raimi.

This live version of Shaking The Tree ought to be the anthem of all women everywhere, especially women in represed cultures.

Take care to listen to Paula Cole's vocals.

The concluding number of Peter Gabriel's Secret World Tour, and it soon becomes clear why: this performance ranks among Gabriel's very best.

If you're a fan of Peter Gabriel and you've never seen this clip, you're in for a treat. And if you've never seen Peter Gabriel sing at all, this is a great introduction.

This 3.5 minute scene from THE WIRE has a drug dealer boss teaching his underlings how to play chess... in ghetto-speak. Great writing.
