Chris Ware: Genius or Not-Genius?

I know I’m supposed to say “genius.” But I can never quite decide. After watching this video I’m no closer to making up my mind. But I kind of want to watch it again.

I like the part where the severed head cries.

Update: Well, they took it down for some reason. Maybe the awesome traffic from Nerd World crushed their server. Please accept this replacement video, which is funny for about 1:30:

    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.

    Looks like it was airlocked:

    I blame Roslin.

    Not genius. Overrated hipster. Ira Glass-esque. And you put one of his graphic novels on your ten best list. For shame, for shame.

    I was promised a severed head crying, and all I got was an error message. I haven’t been this disappointed since the Cylons invaded New Caprica.

    Severed head video is back up. Love Andrew Bird (he did the music), kept expecting the video to get to a point or have a shaggy-dog ending. Bird is a great nerd musician, by the way – one of my favorite songs of all time is about the Scythians (Horsemen of the Russian Steps!), and he has another great one about the game “Operation”.
