Music Lessons
Seth Godin just posted a rare video of himself doing a full presentation. This presentation is on the music business and takes place at Columbia Records.
The video messes up around eight minutes in, but is a fantastic listen in the background. If you haven’t read or don’t own a book by Seth Godin and are serious about business, I suggest you go about buying Purple Cow and giving it a read.
Update: Seth has taken the video down due to it stopping itself eight minutes in, but has placed up a PDF transcript of the talk online which is well worth a read.

A lesson brought to you by a six year old
The beauty of this video is that your expecting a typical cute performance from a six year old on a reality television talent show. What you get is the best damn singing performance by a young kid, and your jaw on the floor. She has never had a lesson, and learnt from singing with a £40 karaoke kit. And has apparently preliminarily agreed to sign a seven figure deal from Simon Cowell already, what can I say? She deserves it.
The lesson for freelancers and wannabe developers/designers here is that natural talent goes a long, long way and being self taught can be a good thing.

The most shocking, brilliant advertisement you’ll see this year
Absolutely stunning in both the delivery of the message and the twist itself.

Apple support engineer fired for writing the best poem ever written
It’s a small break from my usual posts, but I found this video absolutely brilliant. If I was fired for doing what this guy did, I’d upload it for over 500,000 people to view too.

Best presentation I’ve seen yet
Saw this one over at Guy Kawasaki’s blog this morning and loved it. Much better than the normal business lecture and simply flowed awesomeness all the way through. I particularly liked how they measure their success in awesomeness.
If you want a video about the passion of making ‘Web Apps’ instead of the business of it, this one is for you:

You can vote at the link above once a day for your favourite comedian – for me, Mitch is easily the funniest. I have the full special and I’ve watched it a good four or five times – the man is simply a legend.

One hundred impressions in four minutes
The guy gets a little desperate for people to immitate near the 80-90 mark, but up until then he was pretty spot on. Only 3-4 voices are questionable – and then still, 75 out of 100 is reason enough to hire him.
Also – have to ‘give him props’ for his flow, he didn’t stutter once and barely stops to take a breath. This must be one hell of a video to get for an audition for say voice actor on Family Guy, eh?

Stephen Colbert on Science and Technology
He’s not done much that I’ve laughed a lot at (or at least seen through YouTube and the like – we don’t get his show in the UK), but this is brilliant:
Quotes from the video that I loved:
“Anyone who knows me knows I am no fan of scientists. Anybody who dedicates their life to searching for an answer other than ‘God did it’ is no friend of mine”“Take Sharp who have introduced a new 108″ flatscreen tv. Don’t want to say what this would be amazing for – but it rhymes with pornography.”
“Yes the iPhone has given the nerd community its hardest collective wood since Princess Lea wore a bronze bikini. But you haven’t engorged me Apple – I am flaccid with rage!”

Masi Oka from Heroes interviewed on Leno
Not only is this guy playing the coolest character on Heroes, he also did the code for all the Lucasfilm Special Effects. Pretty damn funny interview. Check out the little ‘_____ in a box’ homage he does to Timberlake in the beginning! Classic!
