This fun video personifies the prowl for Wi-Fi. You could pay the password-pimp for a fast connection, but what about that loose hotspot? Jumping on free Wi-Fi is easy, but only while it lasts, and you gotta watch for viruses:

Picking up Wi-Fi is Like Picking up a Prostitute
Real Life Transformers
To see an auto dealership pay someone to dress up like a Transformer in order to sell Camaros is, well, kind of depressing. Then you fast-forward to 0:32 to watch the transformation and you're like Holy Cow, how did they do that?

Engineering Student Takes On Electrical Door, Loses
According to the the description, the man in this video is an engineering student in Pakistan. Anyone remember that old Far Side comic?
This is kind of like that, only dumber. Why he was trying to bull rush the door is anyone's guess, but for the sake of mankind I can only hope this guy doesn't graduate.

Japanese Salaryman 5 minute Wake Up and Go
Japanese salarymen have it tough. They may be expected to be at work at 8.30am and with many facing a crowded 1.5-2 hour commute by train, this means getting up early even if they had a late night of drinking with the boss the previous night.
Single Japanese salarymen who aren’t married or have nice Japanese girlfriends that make them breakfast, need to do everything themselves and some have perfected the art ofthe 5 minute wake up and go. Japanese comedian Tomonori Jinnai shows us on Japanese TV just how to get up, eat breakfast, get dressed and get ready for work in just five minutes.

Ian Pool: Superheroes
toronto based photographer ian pool imagines the lives of superheroes if they were average people.
in comic books and movies, superheroes are extraordinary people. they save lives and have super powers
that allow them to do almost anything. that being said, it may be difficult to imagine what batman would
do on a tuesday night, or how the incredible hulk walks his dog. these questions and more are answered
in this series of photographs that capture the super human characters, doing completely ordinary things.
