watch it: surveillance cameras capture plane landing on Hudson River
A bonus web video for today, because I couldn’t not post this: Embedded video from CNN Video It’s not quite what I was looking for, but it’ll do for now.
Month: January 2009
watch it: the weekly address from President-elect Barack Obama
Well… it will be nice to have a president who doesn’t think it’s all about him.
weekend open thread: Inauguration weekend!
Okay, so, the daily-open-thread idea I tried week before last didn’t work out so well, so let’s try this: a new open thread every weekend, when posting is lighter anyway.

watch it: “Ninja cat comes closer while not moving!”
As promised, Friday’s “web video of the day” is now given over to cat videos, at least until we run out of cat videos. Which means we’re good till the heat death of the universe:
trailer break: ‘I Love You, Man’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Yeah, why is it weird that a guy has mainly had girlfriends? Why is it weird that someone’s “best friend” would be the person you’re about to marry? What’s wrong with a guy who loves The Devil Wears Prada? Ahh, now I see: guys like that … more…

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (review)
Oh my goodness, it’s a ripoff of *Die Hard.*
