Michael Jackson Gets His Geek On

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more humanizing clip of Michael Jackson than this Access Hollywood footage from 2006 in which the King of Pop admires the crew’s HD cameras.

What Is This?

Some kind of circuit board close up? No. A nuclear power plant’s control panel full of gauges and labels? No, that’s not it. The answer will probably amaze you as much as it surprised me.

The Harry Potter Musical In Its Entirety

Celebrate the weekend right now, with the complete musical recreation of Harry Potter, all on YouTube. Everybody is there: Ron, Hermione and Cho Chang… who does a sexy dance.
