Giant Enemy Crabs: The Remix

You know, I’ve given more than one lifeless, stuttering corporate presentation in my life. Doubtless I will give more. And I don’t think I deserve to be mocked for it mercilessly, around the clock, on the Internet. I don’t think anybody deserves that. Unless it’s funny. Giant enemy crabs remix! This is from Sony’s 2006 E3 presentation.

I don’t think any additional Sony-bashing is necessary at this point. Even my long-buried empathy reflex is starting to kick in. Honestly, I’ve given way worse presentations than this.

Power down from that technocomedy moment with this post-modern bliss-out reinterpretation of Mickey Mouse. It kind of hybridizes the little rodent with the prince from Katamari, and dumps him into a Coco-Roco-like landscape. Cute.

And if you’ve come this far, you might as well watch this really compelling anime video for Daft Punk’s “Harder Better Faster Stronger.” (If anybody can explain to me the underlying narrative here, I’d be grateful, though maybe that’s not the point?) But don’t go so far as to watch a college a capella group do a cover version.

    Will Google’s Insanely-Fast Kansas City Network Shame U.S. ISPs?

    Google’s highly-anticipated plan to build an ultra-fast city broadband network kicked into gear Monday with the search giant’s announcement that it will begin laying miles of fiber-optic cable across Kansas City, Kansas and neighboring Kansas City, Missouri. Google said it aims to create a new “high speed infrastructure” that will allow local citizens to enjoy data speeds 100 times the national average. Google’s goal? To show off its telecom engineering chops and showcase next-generation web-applications. Oh, and maybe shame the big national broadband providers into improving U.S. Internet service speed, which currently lags behind many other countries around the world.
