The Internet is a vast and scary place, but so full of potential. But tapping into that potential can be daunting. If only there was some sort of handy guide for the Internet's use!

Fortunately Gabe and Max are here, with "Gabe and Max's How To Get The Dreamlife of Your Dreams Using the Internet." Watch this video, and then fax these gentlemen your email address. Soon, you will have the answers to the secrets you need.

How do you make a wedding video to remember? You might not want to ask Paul Jury of Panda Smash that question. Unless, of course, you want to remember your wedding as a blood-chilling terror fiesta. In which case, talk to Paul Jury. I'm sure he has pointers.

Asked by his friends Sarah and Jeff to edit together their wedding footage, Paul set to the task with enthusiasm... Until, that is, he got bored. So, using tricks reminiscent of the West Side Story zombie spoof, he used the raw footage to craft a trailer that will make you cry... with terror.

Paul did edit a much more traditional version for Sarah and Jeff -- one that didn't result in Sarah being called a whore. But I think I prefer the horror take. After all, marriage? Pretty scary stuff.

We’ve all heard of people surprising their sweethearts with marriage proposals on the JumboTron at sporting events, and while that does require a degree of effort and planning, I think George, the gentleman who made this video, has taken the public, sneak-attack proposal to a new level. The event seen here (a gallery opening) is of a much smaller scale than a professional sporting event, but keep in mind that the entire gathering was concocted by George, from the ground up, as an “elaborate ruse” to trick his girlfriend Sara into viewing his proposal. Sara was told that the opening was for artist “Serge Gandora” exhibiting a new work called “My Early Muir Owl.” Little did she know that the piece had been created and installed by George himself. Viewed from most angles, “My Early Muir Owl” appears to be nothing but a series of random geometric shapes mounted on poles. But when viewed from just the right angle the shapes align to pop the question “Will You Marry Me?”

The cleverest of children will note that “Serge Gandora” is actually and anagram for “Sara and George” and “My Early Muir Owl” an anagram for “Will You Marry Me.” It looks like this devious little scheme went well. I have to give mad props to anyone who can grift their beloved, House of Games-style, into a lifetime commitment. It gives new meaning to the term “long con.”

Every year, around this time, the Earth passes through a cloud of dust left behind by the comet Swift/Tuttle. Many of these tiny dust particles burn up in our atmosphere, creating the spectacular display known as the Perseid Meteor Shower. Last night (August 12, 2007) was the peak night for the annual shower, and if you were far enough away from the lights of civilization, and blessed with a cloudless sky, this is a small example of what you would have seen.

Having gone out to see the showers last night, I will say that this video fails to capture the fleeting, fragile beauty of this event. It also utterly fails to capture the sensation of sitting on top of a cold, dark mountain for five hours, the sound of the two hippies doing it on the car hood next to me, or the spectacular display of fire ants who were none-too-pleased at having my ass on top of their colony. Still, it looks pretty cool.

This follow-up to the hit "Shades" (a viral promotion for Ray-Ban sunglasses) lacks some of the original's shock and awe factor, taking a more low-key approach. The trick photography and special effects still dazzle, though, and when these two gentlemen are done proving their skill at putting on glasses underwater, you'll still be scratching your head, wondering how they did it.
