…Mark Erickson knows Google’s secrets?

Mark Erickson and his “Infinite Solutions” is trying to become the next viral video star with his YouTube documentation of the process required to sign up for the so secret even Google doesn’t know about it version of Google Television Beta. With everyone desperately hoping for some truth to the rumor (myself included), the video raced down the Internet’s tubes like a roaring river, prompting many people to try the elaborate steps required to get an invite (myself not included). In response to the numerous claims that the video was a fraud, Mark even posted a second video showing the mythical program once again, though once again hiding crucial details with creative editing choices.

Though I do think TV is heading to the Internet (See my 2007 predictions), this unfortunately isn’t it. Good try though Mark, I will give you credit where credit is due for your amazing editing skills.

…Crazy things fit in a blender?

Will It Blend?

Will It Blend is a series of viral videos made by Blendtec to promote their Total Blender by seeing what the thing will blend. So far, the Total Blender has successful taken down 50 marbles, an entire Coke can, a movie night, golf balls, 40 pens, and a variety of other “don’t try this at home” items. There’s just something about a low production quality video with 80s background music shot infomercial style that holds a kind of allure. Next up: Will it blend other blenders?
