Heard about the BBC Motion Gallery? It's the BBC's new website featuring hundreds of thousands of hours of footage of everything you can think of, from all around the world. They've scoured the entire BBC video archives, as well as those of CBS News, for this material. An incredible collection. [Details]
...I especially liked the "Perspectives & Time Lapse" category. Watch some of the showreels. [Destroy]
...there's also the Premier Showreel, the very best of the best clips condensed into a few minutes. [Destroy]
Nice storm pictures from the International Space Station. Thanks, MC. [Details]
Screw motherboards, hard drives, even CD-ROMs... Linux on a flash card - only! [Details]

Soulwax's new album "Any Minute Now" is out soon - the anticipation! It's been three years! The single is great, and I'm waiting for the rest after failing to get tickets to their London gig this month. You can grab the video at this site. [Details]
I'm in a very Soulwax kind of mood, actually. They tend to become my favourite band for a while every few months. They're playing at a festival in their home country of Belgium on Saturday, and there'll be a live webcast. [Destroy]
XFM's Christian O'Connell finally got David Hasselhoff to appear on the XFM Breakfast Show. [Details]
Now's as good a time for another link to the XFM Breakfast Show blog as any, while I'm at it. [Details]
Zach Braff (of "Scrubs", one of the best shows on TV) wrote, directed and acted in his new masterpiece, "Gardem State". He's also been keeping a surprisingly personal blog about the whole thing. [Details]
Wonderful tricks with a goldfish. Do not watch if you are a member of PETA. You may also notice that this is by the same guys who did that anti-iPod crusade because of the short battery life. [Download - 2.82MB]
More idiot liberal "hey, let's make a flash movie about how dumn and evil George Bush is" flash movieage. But I'm linking it because the music is just awesome - "Walk Idiot Walk" by The Hives. Thanks to Ryan Heil for passing this on. [Destroy]
Weebl combines his great animation style with ninjas. [Destroy]
If you're in Florida, er... No, scrap that. Don't be. [Details]
There's something a bit odd about this 'game', but I like it. Drag stuff around. The ending is worth it. [Destroy]
Stupid things are stupid. [Destroy]
Paintballing in a couple of weeks! Paintballs are actually edible, you know. [Details]
Yes, I ran out of ideas and have temporarily resorted to using titles of songs I'm enjoying as post titles. But that's ok, because Vitenka gave you several titles this week.
