Kickstarter, funding from the masses.

I had never heard of kickstarter and what I found is worth sharing.  I was introduced to their site a couple of weeks ago.  You’re probably wondering what is kickstarter so I’ll use their own words to describe them:

The wikileaks diplomatic cables and international politics.

Not sure how many of you have heard about wikileaks and the recent diplomatic cables that they have released.  One of the more interesting things to come out of it (that I’ve read so far) is this:

Rip funny man.

Stumbled upon this today and thought I would share it in memory of Leslie Nielsen.  I’m not sure which is funnier, his joke or the weather lady’s.

50 cent makes a guest appearance

The internet can be a mean place:

There are a lot of people that use the internet for the first time on a daily basis.  There are a lot of young, old, ignorant and immature people as well.  Add the impression of anonymity and it can get ugly.  I had seen some of this guys videos a few times on various sites.  I don’t know much about him but I know that he lip syncs to songs.

In his latest song the artist 50 cent makes a guest appearance half way through.  I thought that was pretty cool.  The comments on youtube are an interesting mix of people that are either hating (insults), people who are encouraging him and telling him to ignore the haters and people talking about 50 cent being a cool guy for doing the vid.

Props to 50 cent for keeping it real.  Props to the young man for doing his thing (who says you gotta have a clean room?).  Fuck all the haters :-)
