Friday Videos - Sept 27th, 2019

If you're in the Nashville area around Sept 28th, 2019, take some time to swing by Gainesfest; a celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Garth Brooks taking on a fictional pop persona. I have nothing to do with the event but I'll be there slackjawed and staring at a group of people that share such a strange fascination.

Enjoy some stuff I found...

• Terence Howard on the Red Carpet - it's hard to tell if this is a troll or if we should be legitimately worried for Mr. Howard.
• A perfect quadruple back tuck - I cruise /r/youtubehaiku fairly regularly looking for items for these Friday compilations and it is mostly awful... but sometimes you come across a solid gem.
• Spot Launch - the Boston Dynamics Spot Robo-Dog is now a thing that can be purchased. Admittedly, the technology is impressive but they are intentionally making this commercial feel like a dystopian horror movie, right?!
• Amazon Loop - they literally made a wearable ring that you whisper into it and hold to your ear. This implementation is pretty awkward (looking and behaving) but I give them credit for trying something new. Not a funny video, just one to marvel at.
• Octopus Dreaming - I will never tire of seeing an animal color shift. Unbelievable every time.
• Twen - "Damsel" - been very much enjoying this album lately, thought you might as well.

That's it! Short and sweet.. and, frankly, not all that weird. Hopefully still satisfying as you slide into the weekend.
