kylelibra.com   a blog about what’s on my mind

I found out about this via Jon Clark via Beast via Twitter if that makes sense.

Court TV has a show called Masterminds. The show re-creates crimes and explains what happened with different cases. We have known for some time that there was an episode concerning the infamous Transy Book Heist. Unfortunately we were never able to watch it because the cable service on campus didn’t have the channel. (conspiracy? possibly…)

Long story short, watch this before it gets pulled down.

I noticed today that my youtube videos have been viewed a total of 217,917 times. Wow! Because I don’t have time to post anything too original or complicated, here is my most watched video of all time.

I think this was nominated for an Oscar, but I don’t have time to look it up.

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.

Snag Films is a new site that offers full length documentaries for free. The catch is that advertisements are spliced intermittently into the films. They have some pretty good ones available such as Super Size Me.

Has anyone been keeping up with Dr. Horrible? Apparently it was all the rage and free but I missed out on it. If anyone has seen it and would recommend it, post in the comments. Also if anyone has links to where you can still see it for free also post that in the comments.
