If you haven’t watched the Midwest Teen Sex Show yet, you’ve been missing out on the smartest, funniest, realest sex “edutainment” show on the internet or anywhere else for that matter. As they describe it:

Teens and sex. It happens. Not every teen is having sex and not every teen is abstaining. We hope the Midwest Teen Sex Show will create a space for frank discussion of all things related to teen sexuality. Broadcast media shies away from any real exploration of the topic, and they forget that not all teens live in Orange County…We’ll leave the formal education to classrooms and textbooks. Midwest Teen Sex Show is here to provide sex information in a clear and entertaining way. We won’t pretend to be experts, but hopefully a few of our own embarrassing experiences and insights will keep you out of trouble.

Today’s episode is about porn. Nikol plays the straight (wo)man as usual, but she’s not above screwing with your head. The rest of the crew is the comic relief. Watch closely, or you might miss some of the best jokes (jean sitting(!?), early 90s Calvin Klein ads). Episodes come out pretty regularly, and they are starting to get noticed with recent spots on the CBS Nightly News and an article on Yahoo news. If any of it makes you squirm, that’s the point.

There will be an outage tonight during our scheduled maintenance window from 11pm-12am PST. We’re moving one or our events servers to a new machine to address the events processing delays from the last few days. A number of services will be down for part of the window including Revver.com, uploading, and QuickTime video serving. Thanks for your patience!

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival is currently underway, so all the red carpet interviews you missed due to the recent Golden Globes downgrade can be recouped now. Here’s Todd Haynes and Cate Blanchett talking about the creative process and working together on I’m Not There. Blanchett was being presented later in the evening with the Modern Master award, the festival’s highest honor. See more happenings from the SBIFF here.

Before we say anything else, let’s just talk about the shear poundage of sausage in this bath tub. I’m guessing there’s more than a hundred pounds of links in there. That is a serious investment in sausage. Do you see the juice dripping off the snorkel when the guy comes up? Not water–that’s straight up sausage juice. I can smell it through my computer monitor, and no amount of soapy showers will cleanse it from their pores. Through some impossible Lamarckian inheritance, these guys’ children will be born smelling like sausage. We commend Marabou for their committment to comedy.

Today’s video is from Black Nerd Comedy. The moniker sums up the schtick pretty nicely, but it’s the perfectly convincing execution that takes this beyond “fun with stereotypes” and lands it squarely in the same region of genius inhabited by Christopher Guest and Catherine O’Hara.

We’re doing some work on the site tonight, so there are a couple of maintenance windows to be aware of. Revver.com will be down for a short time between 8pm-9pm PST while we perform an update to the site. The second update is from 11pm-1am and will involve the transcoding system — all of transcoding will be down during this time, so videos uploaded around the window may take a little longer than usual to make it online. There will be an API outage for the first 30 minutes of the second window (11:00pm-11:30pm), so Revver.com, widgets, API sites etc. will be down. Media serving won’t be affected during either window, so your embedded videos are gravy.

Thanks for bearing with us during these updates. Tomorrow we’ll have a new transcoding system in place which will mean fewer errors and better video processing.

update: Forgot to mention that the site update occurring during the first window includes a reworking of the contact page that will facilitate messaging between contacts. We’re also adding some helpful icons to the top left of every page to keep you posted on new messages and new videos from contacts (more icons to come).

I was looking to buy a sleeping bag the other day, and I had heard of this bargain camping gear website, but I had forgotten the exact name. I typed into the Google search box what I remembered and eventually found what I was looking for. The next day I was on Digg or Slate or Reddit or something and a big banner ad for the site I had been looking for popped up. I was like, “Whoa, Google! Why are you all up in my grill?” And Google doesn’t talk, so it didn’t answer back, but the question remains.

TheVacationeers have a similar experience with Google, but their question is more along the lines of “Whoa, Google! Why are you all up in my house?”

Today’s season premiere of Nowheremen is cryptic enough that a blurb from the show’s press announcement is useful in figuring out what’s going on:

Nowheremen is a new community-based social entertainment experience that utilizes the full Web 2.0 medium of platforms to reveal the story behind the mysterious disappearance of a brilliant computer science student, Derek Border. The journey began in September 2007, with cryptic clues hidden throughout the Internet revealing Derek’s post-9-11 disappearance, with his fate unfolding across wikis, social networks, and photo and video-sharing sites.

Video clues and other “complex puzzles” will continually be popping up at Nowheremen.net, and audience discoveries will help unravel the story and determine Derek’s fate. So, you know, if Old Maid just doesn’t do it for you anymore you can visit Nowheremen.net.
