To make up for the strange Russian singer I posted the other day, I present, for your approval, Ida Maria. This is a fun song, and a great video. /via @boingboing

My favorite YouTube comment:

A really spectacular Rube Goldberg-esque music video of “This Too Shall Pass” by OK Go. I really liked their first video of this song featuring a marching band and incredible camera angles, but this new one is several times more awesome. Watch it — it’s worth 4 minutes of your time.

Kyle Glanville of Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea shows us how to make a really great cup of espresso. I like coffee, and I consider myself something of a coffee snob, but not quite to this level. But yes, I now do want to go to Intelligentsia Coffee.

It’s a beautiful short film. The black and white is stunning.

Here I am, starring in the ACPL’s weekly video. BTW: I am constantly reserving books online. What the video omitted is that I usually reserve books at 1 AM in the pitch black of my bedroom, cursing the library website because it is hard to navigate via iPhone screen.

Oh, Pomplamoose. You can make even Christmas songs awesome.
