Enjoyed this.... hadn't come across Momus before... know nothing about all his other stuff (should I?). This definitely sounds like an early 80s Japan/Sakamoto/YMO kinda thing (includes samples of "Bamboo Music") - Fun!

Windows 3.0 Anniversary - but you can't beat the Windows 386 (2.1) video
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="202" caption="Win 3.0"]
[/caption]
Nice Reg article about the 20th anniversary of the launch of Windows 3.0 and it's impact on computing and the industry (and notes the importance of Solitaire!).
Us Unix Workstation people sneared at the time of course - and (as linux users) still do ;-)
Any Windows anniversary is an excuse to watch this stunning promo-video for an earlier 386/2.1 version. If you've never seen this you MUST watch (if you don't have time for it all - jump to around 7 mins) . What were they thinking!?

The 100 Most Iconic Internet Videos
This is from last summer - but I just bumped into it.
A comprehensive list - many I know and remember fondly - many which escaped me till now (e.g. No 2 "Christian the Lion" - how had i missed that?).
It's hard to argue against the "Star Wars Kid" being at No 1.. but my favourite is still probably "David After Dentist" (No 7 - if you only watch one... watch that one).
A good list with useful contextual commentary too.

Great Nostalgic 80's football video
The Guardian's online sports pages have a weekly selection of sports video clips (plenty of football) with a mix of nostalgia and current weirdness/sensational stuff - usually decent picks and worth a look.
This week's:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/mar/26/youtube-bbc-liverpool-lewis-hamilton
is a corker...:
"Featuring a Brian Clough left hook, Manny Ramirez swapping baseball for cricket and a belting simultaneous double KO"
And the very nostalgic: "...1987-88, the BBC did a Goal of the Season competition just for Liverpool."
