Why do I love this song so much?

I’ve never had an office job, but it’s good to know that those who do can still have fun with it. OfficeLipDub got its start with this video:

Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri on Vimeo.

People liked it so much that they made their own, here’s one more:

LipDub – Sofrecom from Trinh on Vimeo.

These actually make me wish I had an office job with cool people just so I could make one of these videos.

Another, um, interesting “office” site is Office Sweded which has their own renditions of movies such as Pulp Fiction (please note there is some offensive words in this video):

World of Coke from Reese on Vimeo.

I’m not feeling well, so I haven’t made the post I planned on. I did upload some pics of The World of Coke to my flickr though, and a few short videos like this one on Vimeo.

I like how some people add music to their videos. I don’t know how to do that, so you get ambient noise and people talking. If anyone knows a video editor to add music good and free let me know!

You should already be aware that this year’s “Shark Week” on Discovery channel started yesterday. In honor of this great event (yes, I love Shark Week!) I’ll be posting a few times this week about the shows that air. This multimedia Monday is all about the Shark Week website, it has videos, games, pictures, interactive guides; let’s just say this post is very geeky but very awesome nonetheless.

Anyone living in Florida, or even someone that visits it often has to be somewhat interested in sharks. I mean, how could you not be given the stats?
I’m a little disappointed this chart doesn’t have 2007. While 2007 was supposedly a low year for shark attacks, Florida had 32, highest in the world, followed by Hawai’i, which had seven. That’s a big difference.

While I don’t play many online games, Discovery keeps advertising their “critically acclaimed” Shark Runners game so I had to play it to see what all the hype was about. The goal is to track down sharks and collect data on them, but the cool thing is is that it is using real sharks and their real movements, taking advantage of GPS tracking. But then when I got to the part of the site where I realize that the game is going on all the time and it’s going to email me alerts giving a certain amount of time for me to log back in a do something, I decided this was something I didn’t want to get into. If you want to try it out, let us know what you think in the comments.

I did try some other games, though some of them aren’t really games, like voting for the coolest shark? I guess voting is a game for some people…I actually prefer other games on discovery.com that are not part of Shark Week, like Life or Death: Lost at Sea. Basically you’re given sets of three items to choose from and you have to choose the right items that will keep you alive, it’s tricky.

While Discovery does have great pictures on the site, like this one:

if you want something high enough resolution for a wallpaper or if you want a shark screensaver, NationalGeographic is your best bet.

The best parts of the website are the interactive features, like the dive, and the pictures. But really, I think the site could have been better. I especially don’t like that they don’t have an option to embed their videos (though the videos are great), and the commercials before them are extremely loud compared to the actual video.

As for the shows though, what I’ve seen so far is awesome. I love MythBusters anyway and the Shark Week Special that aired last night was not to be missed (if you didn’t see it, it airs again Wednesday). See a clip of the robotic shark they created here.

I’m also looking forward to Dirty Jobs tomorrow night. Mike thinks they should have monkey week.

For more Shark Week, see the official Discovery.com site.

I love food, you probably do too. I also love stop-motion animation, I wish I had the skills for it. Here are a couple videos that combine these two wonderful things. (If you’re viewing this in an RSS reader you may need to click over to view the videos.)

Now those look like crepes to me and not what I would call pancakes, but great video anyway.

Okay, so this one is not real food, but it’s still really entertaining and I love the different things they came up with and how they used them. This video is made by PES, you can find more stop-motion videos from them on their website: EatPES.com; “Human Skateboard” is a good one to check out.
