This is the show in which we tested our new higher quality video.

How does it look?

Video: Iron Man vs. Bruce Lee - who do you think will win? Watch to find out!

Chris shared a video of a magnetic field.

Brian found this sweet photo of some Photoshop Graffiti.

This guy set up a webcam to tweet every time his dog or cat goes outside.

Just an interesting song from your Saturday morning cartoons: Animaniacs - “Be Careful What You Eat”

The Google Datacenter Tour has to be viewed for the full details. We barely glossed over the info covered in the video by Google.

Here’s a sweet video that Chris found of a paper airplane thrown out of a skyscraper.

Follow SWA on Twitter.

Funny quotes from this episode:

Brian: “I have this joke about a train wreck. Oh, I already told that one.”

Chris: “Someone that speaks philosophically is Phil.”

Brian: “Some days you’re the whale, and some days you’re the birds.”

During this show, Chris ate jellybeans.

“It’s the internet! We can fly by the seat of our pants if we want.” - Brian

Chris shared some inspirational logos.

Brian told us about his latest trip to Disneyland. He shared some photos that he put on Brightkite.

Brian shared a video from California Screemin’ (just watch the video on Viddler).

Then we looked at the DaVinci (Microsoft Surface Physics Illustrator). Very cool.

Chris shared these fail whale sightings.

We briefly looked at WrongTomorrow.com, a site that records the predictions people make and verifies them.

Video: The Swiss clean their mountains.

Video: Pillow Fight Flashmob in Tempe.

Brian shared this video of World of Goo (a Mac game).

This is the show from San Francisco and Chris Hutchins joined Brian.

Chris unfortunately missed this show, but Brian found another person named Chris to join him in California. So it turned into a fantastic episode!

Brian shared the Honda Headlights video with everybody. Honda parked a whole bunch of cars and they turned the headlights on/off during the video. Via Adweek.com (a few more extra links there including a behind the scenes video).

National Geographic has a really cool time lapse video of a glacier moving.

Then Brian shared YourLogoMakesMeBarf.com, enough said. Actually, not enough: it’s a collection of really bad logos. The one in particular that Brian didn’t like is this one.

Here’s a link to the Mr. Robert Dutu (Nigerian fraudster) chat that Brian shared.

Brian shared the video The Twouble with Twitters. A funny video about the obsessiveness of Twitter.

I don’t think Brian shared this in his video, but check out this funny video of Brian on the Leo Laporte show.
