In a return of the long lost friday funnies I've got two fun videos for ya'll.

Save the Date looks to be solved. Apparently one Palm Desert, California hotel might have let the cat out of the bag as to where Phish's halloween festival is going to be taking place this year.

When the news of an OS update for Mac users hit the streets, many users (myself included) got pretty jazzed – only to find out that we were going to have to wait quite a while to get our hands on Apple’s newest creation. Dubbed Snow Leopard, a clear indication that this is more of an expansion pack for Leopard, rather than a whole new version, this OS upgrade release date is set for September. Planned improvements include speed and performance, as well as improvements to the architecture our beloved Mac apps run on, and improved Exchange support (I can haz Mac now, boss?).

Have a view of this outstanding 3 camera HD footage from Phish's inaugural reunion show at the Hampton Colosseum March 8, 2009. Hopefully this won't get pulled, as it's honestly the best Phish footage I've ever seen, DVD releases included. Thanks a million earthscapeben!

While living 4234 miles from my home town, on another continent does have certain advantages, there's also a bit lost in translation (literally). And I honestly don't know what's taken me so long, but I finally discovered/got around to including the ABC, NBC, and CBS evening news video podcasts in my regular rotation. I work out in the mornings (calm down ladies, it's really nothing to get hot and bothered about) and figured out that I could kill two birds with one stone: lose the weight, gain some knowledge (and hopefully a bit of muscle while I'm at it) via video news podcast updates. All three networks provide them free of charge via the iTunes store, but there are some differences, not just in quality, but delivery.

These data visualizations below represent to me the most meaningful and useful tools available. They cover everything from Digg activity to Network connectivity, to simply watching the world tweet the day away.

Here's a brand spankin' new dj mix for those of you that have requested. Recorded in one shot, July 2nd between 5:08 and 6:08 pm, this gem runs the gamut from deep house, takes you a bit deeper close to the techno border, and lands you softly. If this don't make yo' booty move, yo' booty must be dead. Enjoy!
