The Astounding World of the Future
Brilliant idea here -- take run of the mill footage of the contemporary world and give it that 1950s "world of the future" treatment and voiceover.

Science corner: AS SEEN ON EARTH
From National Geographic, the Infinite Photograph, a zoomable, endless mosaic of user-submitted nature photos (long load time on first visit, so go grab a beverage or something).

Take it reel slow
Super duper ultra slow-mo (mostly 1000 FPS) footage shot during a recent rugby competition. Nice change from the usual bullets flying through stuff.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" in C#++
The Queen classic played by a collection of old computin' gear. Apparently it's WYSIWYH -- no effects or editing used.
