J.R.R. Tolkien Interview from 1971 (BBC 4 Radio)

Luckily I speak Leet

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Foolproof method to detect obfuscated requests aka how to download that damn FLV

I'm pretty sure most people are aware of the huge amount of content available on sites like YouTube, Megavideo etc., and of the existence of hangers-on sites such as Keepvid, Clip Nabber etc. as well that let you leech the FLV files directly.

Targetted image resizing

If this isn't way cool, I don't know what is.

While many people find the music of Tom Waits a little too off-the-beaten-path, none can deny his genius as such, a lot of which can be evidenced in the following videos.
