The internet is a weirdly fascinating place and while a long day at work makes you feel like you’ve seen the limits of the internet, there’s always something just around the corner. The people at (not sure who made it) have compiled a best of 2011 that covers just about every viral video you should have seen this past year. Cheers.

There are good reasons to fight: for democracy, against communism, for your right to vote, etc, etc…

One of the best reasons to fight?
For the right to make waffles with a a two dollar waffle iron.

As the saying goes, leggo my eggo.

It’s hard to be edgy and new on the internet. It is easy though to look like an ass and embarrass yourself case in point, professional marketers put together this company video.

The less said about it the better but it’ll at least make you laugh.

Awesome use of reverse playback video.

BAM!

So simple. Yet so genius.

This guy has managed to get all of the contact information that you’d need on his business card using only his email address. Why didn’t I think of this myself?

People go on vacation to take a break from their daily grind. Funny thing is, we marvel and revel in the places we go to visit when to someone else it’s just home. But have you ever stopped to think about where you live and how great it is? If you live in the suburbs of New Jersey or Canada, probably not (just kidding). But for those of us city dwellers with the world at our fingertips it’s a different story. People in Manhattan go away to “get out of the city” but there’s so much to appreciate about life in the big apple than we realize.

We stumbled upon this gem and not only is this video superbly edited, it makes us damn proud to be able to live in New York.

This video made its rounds through internet three months back but we thought we’d post it anyway for those of you who haven’t seen this before.

Commissioned by STA Travel Australia Rick, Tim and Andrew took the trip of a lifetime going through 11 countries in 44 days. Using two cameras and taking 18 flights, the trio created three beautiful and compelling short films based on the movement, learning and food.

Who’s ready to quit their day jobs and go on a trip like this? But no …. Really.

Designer Athanasia Leivaditou did some design work and blew my mind with her revamped umbrella jacket. It’s so simple and it’s highly functional! It’s bittersweet that we file this design under “why didn’t we think of it” as it just makes sense and looks good too.

The internet is a big world and something that someone does on one end affect someone across the world. IN this video, a man in london hid nine thousand pounds and set up a tricky Da Vinci Style code to find it. Not a lot of people did but one person did and filmed his adventure. Here is the story and it’s freaking crazy. We can’t even figure out it’s real but damn it if it’s awesome. Check it out, this is an easy Huevalman.

I’m not sure when Food Trucks became insanely popular but I do know that they serve some insanely good food at a bargain prices made by extremely skilled chefs. While this might seem like strictly a New York problem, this could easily be a problem for any city, what’s the problem you ask? In Manhattan, there’s an old law that forbids these food trucks from parking and selling their goods (food). So yeah, that’s the problem but we can be part of the solution.
So watch the video and see what you think.

A little helps a lot and if you’re signature helps keep some people in business and provide people with some food, then sign away.
