I don’t get that many emails, but I still find the conversation about social communication conventions to be fascinating.

Switchcam is a video site that provides videos for entire concerts. The amazing thing is that the concert video is created entirely from fan footage that has been uploaded to YouTube. This site finds all of the videos and aggregates them together into a single video. You can even change cameras to view the concert from different angles.

There is a fun trick where if you pick any Wikipedia page and then click on its first link, then click on the first link of that page and so on, eventually you will end up at the article on Philosophy. In other words, all articles on Wikipedia eventually lead to philosophy. There is also a nifty tool that lets you try it out for yourself.
