…White people like stuff?

Stuff White People Like is impressively accurate and incredibly funny.

Half social commentary and half social mocking, it’s a daily dose of the things that make white people white.

From coffee and wine to Barack Obama and anything Apple, the full range of interests is covered. Plus, there are reasons behind each like, and an explanation of the best way to fit in with whitey, so you can easily acclimate to being or interacting with white people.

Now where’d I put that copy of Juno…?

…DYH is changing hosts?

Faithful DYH readers,

Good News: DidntYouHear.com is now on a new, and hopefully 20 times better host! (Full explanation of the reasons for the switch, along with impressions of the new host coming soon.)

Bad News: It took me over 6 hours to make the change, and now I need some sleep!

Thus, DYH is going to be a little lite on the updates today, but I’ll have some new stuff up ASAP, and the site should be fully functioning and normal again in about 24 hours. (For now, everything has to cycle through http://s18719.gridserver.com/)

Thanks for your understanding,

Cory

Check out theDemos and Flickr for a full rundown of what was involved.

…You can catch sunglasses on your face?

Back in May of ’07, I posted a video of a bunch of guys catching sunglasses on their face:

In case you were wondering how it was done (I know I was), Captain Disillusion has posted an explanation video that breaks down each of the seven scenes:

As with all magic, it seems easy once you know how the secret. However, it’s the magician’s innovation that keeps you guessing, and with videos like this:

I’m sure the glasses guys will have us guessing for a long time to come.

…It’s Movie Monday: Infinity?

Infinity

Today’s Movie Monday is a picture and a movie.

The picture is an infinity sign that has been worn into grass. The Movie is the explanation:

In order to determine whether the above phrase was actually true, we kept running in a park for 5 days. In the fast-forward movie compiled from digital photographs taken one per second, a path the shape of ∞ (infinity) gradually emerges as we move with high-speed.

Interesting concept indeed. (Click the link to see the movie.)
