Brodacious

Happy Friday,

Well with the week's end coming, you might be planning to attend a party this coming weekend. Here's a vid of surprising quality that might get you primed for that event, while at the same time inspiring nostalgic flashbacks to those salad days of college. A raucous fraternal saga set to Queen; definitely has its moments. (Thanks TED)

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?
Whoever said there’s nothing funny about breaking the law obviously never saw a little person climb a lamppost to evade arrest. Check out these five "must-see" police arrests...

BLUtube
At first I thought this was of an "adult" theme, but it turns out to be sort of the opposite -- a video sharing site for Law Enforcement. Some stuff requires require that you log in, but there some good ones that don't, like this routine motorcycle stop and this officer getting down as he directs traffic.

How Tired Are You?
Pretty simple two-minute test, assuming you can stay awake through it.
Take the test >>>


Sound-a-Sleep
If you passed (or failed?) that test, use this site to drum up some DIY noises to help you pass out.

Friday game: WolfQuest
A role-playing game from the Minnesota Zoo that lets you run through Yellowstone, follow scent trails, hunt hare and elk, harass coyotes and find a mate, including a multiplayer option that allows for packs. Watch for coming installments including features like producing and raising pups, designating territory "through raised-leg urination marking", and killing sheep on nearby ranch land.

Putting the "Me" in Media
And last, a little interactive clip featuring technology that might just raise the stakes in personalized advertising. Enter your name in the first field and your friend's name in the second field (skip the rest), and click VISUALIZAR. Loud amusement in Portugese ensues. I have an inkling, but I wish I knew what was really going on. (Thanks Remy)
