I found this series on Hulu from the creator of Super Size Me, Morgan Spurlock, and found it fascinating from a human perspective, along with the educational aspect from the documentary aspects. The premise is that the series put someone into a totally foreign environment for 30 days, and often that someone is extremely wary of what they’re getting into but at least open minded enough to give it a shot. Hilarity ensues.

In the episode I posted (my all-time favorite):

A God-fearing 24-year-old conservative homophobe from red state America travels to San Francisco’s Castro district to live in what is notoriously known as one of the gayest areas of the country.

“Would they change their mind if they just got to know each other?”

Watch and see how it turns out (I loved it). ;-)

…but 2010 will be the best year of all time! OF ALL TIME!!

Yes, Kanye, your jackassery made for a pretty awesome internet meme. Here’s some of the best things about 2009. Oh yeah, and we put everything 20% off at Fractalspin, but only for the next 3 days. Happy New Year!

6. Kanye will let you finish, but…

Lulz were had quite a bit this year, and countless photoshops made of Kanye upstaging Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards. Here’s some of our favorites, and a larger archive.

5. Terrence
Parker’s “Tribute to Michael Jackson”

While we are sorry to have lost MJ this year, we love DJ Terrence Parker, aka TP’s, funky, soulful, housey tribute.

Finally, a Vista replacement that shows up OSX. Yay! http://reviews.cnet.com/windows/microsoft-windows-7-professional/4505-3672_7-33704140.html

2. Motorola Droid

The potentially iPhone-killer phone from Verizon stole the G1′s thunder and made for Motorola’s most attractive and intriguing piece of technology yet. http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/motorola-droid-review/

1. Live 8 / APC40

Alright, we are total electronic music nerds over here so when Ableton Live 8 was released and Max / MSP was integrated, we were giddy. Then they released a controller that spoke to our inner fanboy. So much so that it spawned its own hilarious photoshop thread in the Ableton forums. Here are some of our favorite shops: http://lizrevision.com/gallery?album=1&gallery=2
