Blunder Lab

HowToons is/are great at using simple, visual methods to explain how to build things. Blunder Lab take sthe same methods to explain basic scientific phenomena. While the artwork isn't as polished as HowToons, Blunder Lab still manages to fill a void.

It's all in the same spirit of Instructables and HowStuffWorks

All About Polymorphics

The Internet Archive describes the 1959 film as: "Simon Ramo's concept of "polymorphic" computing is laid out in stop-motion animation, accompanied by acoustic guitar. The film anticipates parallel, distributed processing and the architecture of ARPANET and the Internet."

One Professor's Fantasy

My dad (a professor) sent this in with the note:
"This video is funny and close to what a professor sometimes feels like saying."

Games for Change

When hearing or reading the title of the conference, I kept thinking about signs that read "Will work for food" morphing into "Will code games for change"

Over all the conference was not well-organized and was nothing at all like the Serious Games Summit I went to a couple of years ago.
Still, the notion of serious games seems much more accepted than it was back then.

Most of the audience seemed to be middle-aged women who seemed to care about the world, but had no experience with activism or with games.
