So, the Super Bowl happens in just a couple of days. Have you ever needed to explain to a child (or clueless non-football fan) what football is, and why the Super Bowl is so important? Our friend Ze gives it a shot…check out the video above. You may want to use this as your template for explaining the issue in the future - if you can be sure not to blink like he does.

Michel Gondry remakes trailer for Be Kind Rewind in the style of Be Kind Rewind
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: New Line, Comedy, Trailers,
Michel Gondry continues to make it difficult to argue that he is a cinematic mastermind. In the video above, you will find a trailer by Gondry that is a remake of the official trailer for Be Kind Rewind. The remake is done in the style of the movie. So, this is a remake of a trailer about a movie about a couple of guys who have to remake movies themselves, done by two guys who have to remake the trailer for the movie themselves. I don’t even know if I am making sense anymore, but check the video, as it is the epitome of awesomeness.

Britney Spears had a Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction at Millennium Dance Studio, briefly flashing her bosom as she dances with herself inside a privately-rented studio with only Sam Lutfi present. We aren’t sure what’s worse - the video itself, or the casual conversation taking place outside while this guy is trying to film through the window. You be the judge. We’ve got the video for you, after the jump.
LEGO Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon time-lapse assembly video
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Toys, Videos,
Today, the LEGO brick turned 50 years old. That is quite an achievement for a toy that, at first glance, is so simple. I guess that just reiterates that while you can pack every feature under the sun into a device, simplicity is really what matters. Just take a look at some of Apple‘s recent innovations to see what I mean. Anyhow, back to LEGO. My friend Joel Johnson over at Boing Boing Gadgets decided it best to spend a couple weeks worth of evenings putting together the Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon LEGO set. This thing features over 5,000 individual parts that need to be carefully fit together to create one bad-ass looking piece of LEGO beauty - a daunting task, indeed. Joel created a time lapse video, which we have posted above for your enjoyment.

Video: How Leopard’s dock was supposed to function
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Design, Software, Videos,
Being that I am an ADC member, I was able to enjoy the original dock functionality during the beta period of Leopard. No idea what we mean by that? Well basically, in the beta versions of Leopard, you were able to create Stacks that could be placed on the left side of the Dock, alongside the application icons. These would be Stacks of applications, that made things a lot more tidy in the Dock. An example would be putting Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage into a Stack that you would name Microsoft Office. Then you have one icon representing all of those apps which would fan out for you to choose an app to launch. You set up a few of these app stacks, and you end up with a more organized Dock. This functionality has since disappeared from Leopard. Take a look at the Read More URL down at the end of this post to see a video of all this in action. Here’s hoping apple brings back the feature. It did rock. If you agree, let Apple know!
