21st December 2012 - supposed end of the world and the same day that Gangnam Style finally hits 1 billion views on Youtube. Most watched video in history perhaps?

Excellent video from BigThinks for all you n00b chimps and for all you more experienced monkeys that need something to explain what you do to all your chimp friends. Enjoy.

(Also, be thankful that it's not Einhorn's creepy little girl voice giving the 45 minute lecture.)

Unfortunately, just because it's out doesn't mean it's worth watching.

I'm only a few minutes in, but am already pretty disappointed. Moves really fast and the actors are seemingly awful (also, they don't know how to walk naturally, it's really fucking weird).

Anyway, I'll just leave this here. Would love to know what you guys think.

Edit: YouTube link no longer works, here's Megavideo

I'm trying to put together a list of websites, reviews, YouTube accounts/vblogs, twitter streams, forums, e-newsletters and blogs to follow. Areas of interest are business, economics, finance (especially financial markets), politics and anything genuinely funny, witty or educational in general.

Not just to get the latest news, but to learn from and to stimulate my brain. For example, I currently follow the two prominent classical liberal think thanks in Australia, Knowledge@Wharton, Peter Schiff's YouTube vblog, Keith R. McCullough's former "Virtual Hedge Fund" investment blog, Reserve Bank of Australia's media releases, publications, speeches and statistics, etc etc. Basically anything interesting, educational and/or stimulating.

encierro_dia_8_2.jpg

I can't believe I waited as long as I did to run with the bulls. It's something I've wanted to do for at least 20 years and just never got to it until now, and that's a mistake you should avoid. The Festival San Fermin is like no other I've taken part in, and it will be an annual pilgrimage for me henceforth. In fact, I might even hang a shingle as a bull-running tour guide. More on that later.

I had a ton of misconceptions going into my first encierro (the Spanish word for Running of the Bulls). You can't help it; you watch the YouTube videos, you hear stories from people who've done it before, you endure hundreds of friends, family, and even people you don't know telling you how crazy it is to even think about it, and when you finally do it you are completely disoriented, probably a little drunk, and you have no idea what to really expect.

Just watch the drummer around 1:30. If you look closely, you can actually see the killer bees assault him.

He's actually very good.
