Fanboy.com provides a running commentary on American culture with emphasis on the last 20 years. It is a good place to go to see what is going on in today’s world. On any given day he will talk about Japanese anime, Star Wars, Pixar at the Oscars, NASA and a Mars mission, Japanese commercials, Ramen noodles or vintage video from the original Star Trek movie. Quite the eclectic gaggle of ideas. Check it out at http://www.fanboy.com/
Book of Odds – takes a look at subjects related to what is going on in the world at this time and talks about the odds of things happening – around Oscar time, they focused on subjects like what actor / actress most likely to make a 100 million dollar move, what are the odds of someone becoming a movie star for example. This was a link from the Freakonomics blog in NY TIMES (http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/) Check it out at http://www.bookofodds.com/
Ray William Johnson’s YouTube channel – this college student makes 4 minute videos about internet videos that go viral or catch his fancy. The channel is called “= 3”. He is very irreverent, has a good sense of humor and offers a chance for audience participation. He is also branching out with some videos about his life in NYC. I have not found these to be as entertaining perhaps because I used to live there. Someone else might though. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=RayWilliamJohnson#g/u
Project Kickass – this one is a classic. Lonely nerd boy commentary on life as he sees it – visiting the local fast food place, girls with red hair, a letter from his dog, his plan of attack for dealing with zombies, an open letter to his co-workers. It is just an interesting look into the mind of a possible social outcast. Is he a funny and talented writer – no doubt. Is he an Aspie? Give him a read and decide for yourself.
