• K-State prof Michael Wesch: World Wide Wonder

  Catching up on fancy East Coast reading: The November 23 issue of the New York Times Magazine, "The Screens Issue," was really cool. It was a theme issue dedicated to how people watch stuff: "On our HDTVs, Smart Phones, Laptops, Imax Screens, Computer Monitors, Nanos, Kindles, Bus Shelters, PDAs and Airplane Seat Backs." Extra cool: "Moments that Mattered," in which a dozen notable creative types wrote short essays on something they'd seen on a screen this year that moved them. It was an intrigu

• Sexy Jesus will satisfy your wife; send Muslims to Hitler Hell

  With Christmas around the corner, we thought our loyal Plog readers deserved a little religion. So, meet Steve and Kathy Gray, whose "Sexy God" video got them banned from God Tube. The Grays believe those stuffed-shirt preachers just don't understand that Jesus can skin Satan's evil pop culture and wear the divine husk.

• Clara Cannucciari: 93 and cooking

  I'm a little late on this one. I found Clara on Just Me and since it's right down Fat City's aisle I couldn't pass on the 93-year-old's sage advice and Great Depression recipes.Clara Cannucciari was a sprightly 91 years old when she started making videos with her great-grandson, Christopher Cannucciari, who posted them on YouTube. Each video follows the same format: Clara makes a depression-era dish like pasta and peas or egg-drop soup, and talks about what it was like living through the Great D

• New Video (Sorta) from Super Black Market

  Ex-Warrensburg punks Super Black Market posted a new video on YouTube. It's a self-produced, minimalist, black and white treatment of the band performing "The Right Chords," a song off Super Black's 2007 album Will Sell Anything. Judging by drummer and lyricist (and editor of this video) Joseph Remlinger's long hair, the footage appears to be a couple years old. He cut his locks short well before the band moved to Los Angeles last fall.

• 'Uncle' Ed gets freaky on YouTube

  Here's a helluva find by Independence's newest and best blogger Midtown Miscreant: former children's show host "Uncle" Ed Muscare's bizarre YouTube page. Videos like this: There are many more videos of "Uncle" Ed on YouTube, and he's looking a little lonely. Maybe it's because, as the Miscreant points out, "Uncle" Ed is a registered sex offender in Florida. He's a long way from joking around with Cloris Leachman.

• Cool Hand Luke can eat six saltines in a minute

  Sister food blog The Daily Fork evidently watches much more basketball than I do because I completely missed this challenge two nights ago of Charles Barkley trying to eat a piece of white bread in 30 seconds.Having never heard of the white bread challenge I found an old bag of Wonder at my house (does that ever go bad?) and tried the challenge. Sure enough, I failed miserably. I tried again with a slice of wheat bread and the same result -- bread by itself is like quick-setting concrete.The Dai

• If only Kit Bond really spoke Spanish...

  ... then maybe the Missouri Senator would make more sense than when he talks about any issue in English. Senate Republicans were proud enough to post this on YouTube: Sen. Kit Bond delivering the weekly Republican radio address, on Gitmo, with audio in Spanish. Note that says "with audio in Spanish." Not that he's actually speaking it. Better than a B movie! And shorter!

• Incoming: Blink 182 to Sandstone?

  It's not exactly news that Blink 182 will be reuniting for a new album and tour later this summer, and that Weezer's hitting the road with 'em. A Canadian blog has posted a complete tour itinerary that has Blink coming to Sandstone on September 4, and you know that Canadian bloggers are never wrong. Not sure whether Cuomo and co. will be with them, however, as the blog reports that on different dates, support will come from "a revolving cast of hit and miss noobs like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the

• Michael Jackson dead at 50

  Michael Jackson has died at age 50, say the local TV news stations. Harper over on the Wayward Blog found a treasure trove of live concert videos on YouTube. Here's one from the King of Pop's Arrowhead Stadium stop on the Jacksons' 1984 Victory Tour.

  PBS' NOVA program recently featured a segment on the much over-used (and evidently dead, according to Jay-Z) bit of computer software known as Auto-Tune. Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, you can find out all the science behind the whys and wherefores of how this miracle bit of coding has allowed the likes of Kanye and T-Pain to reach new heights of music sales. NPR has done two stories on the software, as well--one this past November, and another in 2004. Public broadcasting is bigger than hip

• At the Left Hand of God Needs An Endorsement Deal

  Dave Thompson and Chris Joslen, guitarists for At the Left Hand of God, feel that since they endorse Schecter Guitars, Schecter Guitars should endorse them. Praising the "fast fretboard and pretty colors" of the brand, they're looking for an endorsement deal "or something" with their newest (and most hilarious) YouTube video. ATLHOG -- pronounced "attle hog" -- plays tonight as part of Jim Kilroy's Monsters of Metal show at the Uptown.

• Fox 4: Midtown Miscreant turns 'Uncle' Ed in to South Carolina sheriff's office

  "Uncle" Ed Muscare​Local blogger/watchdog Midtown Miscreant's "Uncle" Ed watch made Fox 4 last night. The Miscreant, also known as Mark Smith, has been keeping an eye on former children's show host and sex offender Ed Muscare's YouTube site. Muscare had been posting odd videos on the site -- scratching his back with a toilet brush and letting a dog suckle on his stomach, singing "Pretty Woman" and more -- and the videos were attracting the attention of a lot of kids. That didn't sit well with

• Video: At the Left Hand of God, "An Anthem for Honor"

  At the Left Hand of God's debut music video just went up on YouTube. Directed by ATLHOG lead singer Rikk Wolf, it's appropriately brutal. The band is shot in what looks like a train tunnel, with grainy footage that looks like it was dug out of some underground vault. The images shift between shots of the band playing and the various members holding up signs indicating various sins from "adultry" to "selfishness" as a black, viscous material issues from their mouths. I won't tell you how it ends

• The Best Halloween Vids Ever

  Over at the Woot! blog, they've got a mixtape made up of YouTube videos for Halloween. It's "a bunch of really cool songs with monsters in them which never ever get played on the radio." More than just "Monster Mash," there's tunes from Oingo Boingo and the Guess Who. Never thought I'd see those acts next to each other, but there you go. Enjoy this version of "Monster Mash" as done by Bad Manners, and have a happy Halloween.
