Corning's Vision of the Future
Between 1998 and 2001, a team of friends and I would make videos just like this for many big US tech companies. A ton of fun. Part of me misses having that opportunity. The other part laughs how outlandish those ideas were back then. Craziest part... some of our hopes for the future came true. :)

Real Doctors, Real People Series
Great piece on one of the UNC Children's Hospital Doctors, Dr. Stuart Gold by a talented friend of mine Nathan Clendenin. If you watch closely, there's a snippet of footage covering our iCANcer event.
Lots more to see over at their YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/uncmedicine
Preview of the new Windows 8 UI
This fellow is certainly no Jonathan Ive, but you have to love the innocence of the video. "Hundreds of Millions of PCs, Tablets and Devices will be using this new interface." Um... I guess, we'll see about that. I think you going to need an advanced degree to navigate around this sucker. Though, I am impressed with their technique for transitions and the handling of multi-tasking. It's new and it's certainly different.

Better than "double rainbow"? Not sure. :)
