Kanye West – Runaway
Well worth 34 minutes of your time if you HD fullscreen it and snap your headset on!
Also, for the Mike Oldfield fans out there, can you spot the sample?
Thanks, Tarjum!

Seriously… People can be amazing, but this is just over the top!
Blargh! Seems it’s a fake, seems I’ve been fooled. Looked pretty real the first two or three times I watched it, but… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBsUPN3b298

Missing Missy
26b/6 or (26bslash6 if you will) has a lot of entertainment in for you if you have small troll inside. Not a really vicious one though – just a happy, sometimes cute, always funny, little troll that has become quite the internet celebrity ever since Simon’s Pie Charts hit the blogosphere a while back.
In that spirit, this just in:
Click the image or this link for the full story, which made me laugh out loud (which is seldomn, I usually make use of a clever snicker or a quiet “pheh”).
Thanks, Robin!
StoryCorps
From storycorps.org: StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives. Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 30,000 interviews from more than 60,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
There’s a great deal of highly interesting material collected, and the importance of such a library cannot be measured or compared to anything. Some of the stories are very personal, and I sometimes find myself left with a sense of gratitude for being let in on the highlights of other people’s lives. This one here is a good example, it might make your eyes moist:
A world-wide version of StoryCorps would be beautiful.
Obsessive Compulsive Cat has its Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in order
On a sidenote: I think it’s ironic and slightly evil to assign the word “Disorder” to obsessive-compulsive people’s illness.

YoYo master
This is Jensen Kimmit, the 2010 World YoYo champion. I didn’t see him do “Walk The Dog” or “Around The World”, which were the only two tricks I knew. Still, he seems to manage alright without them.

GOOD LORD YES! Unseen Star Wars Footage!
I didn’t expect this today, though I’ve heard rumours of it!
Yesterday Lucasarts announced that they are releasing the Star Wars hexalogy as a BD set next year, and as a part of the release, previously unseen footage will be included as extra material.
In Return of The Jedi, Vader confronts Luke, and notes that Luke has built a new light sabre, commending his work on it. We never got to see Luke actually building the sabre, which always puzzled me. He got his first sabre (which you all know was Vader’s old sabre – or Anakin’s, rather) from Kenobi in A New Hope, and they made a big deal out of it back then (Norwegian fans will also cringe remembering the subtitler translating “the light sabre” to “den lette sabelen” (the LIGHTWEIGHT sabre)). But at the peak of the Star Wars story, he’s got a new sabre all of a sudden, and we’re left to accept that he just built it inbetween things.
Now, here’s a treat for y’all:
