Juggling to Music
Someone sent me a Google Video link to Chris Bliss' Juggling Finale, saying "isn't this amazing." When I went to it, Google Video included a playlist along with the link, and on the playlist was this Chris Bliss Juggling Parody (which makes sense if you've seen the first video). The parody illustrates well how people have difficulty judging what is and what isn't impressive (and they tend to be more impressived than they should be) with things like juggling with which they're not as familiar.

Just wondering if you'd be interested in bloging / podcasting about Matrixstream's cutting edge video on demand and IPTV Technology ( TV over broadband ). This is a technology that allows the consumer to receive a potential for unlimited VOD / IPTV content up to 1080P in H.264 codec over any broadband connection on a PC Player or set top box for TV ( IMX1020 1080P High definition STB - the world's first 1080P H.264 STB ) If you'd like to see pictures and video's of the this new STB you can go to www.matrixstream.com/presskit . Let us know if your interested.

Okay, so Jason Garfield's routine is very impressive, but that doesn't mean that Chris Bliss's isn't. It's absurd to think that people are "overly impressed" by Bliss. He is deserving of our gratitude for the beautiful thing he does. It would be like saying nobody should have been impressed by Ken Jennings, Jeopardy! champ, when Albert Einstein might have kicked his arse? Can't we take joy from more than one source at a time?

That's a very good (and thoughtful) point!
