It's one of reason's I think Jon Stewart is one of the smartest late night talk show comedian's of our generation - most of his material is educational, but the user doesn't even realize they are being educated because he's so funny.

Every act of communication is, in some way, an act of translation. Onstage at TEDxRainier, writer Chris Bliss thinks hard about the way that great comedy can translate deep truths for a mass audience. Chris Bliss explores the inherent challenge of communication, and how comedy opens paths to new perspectives.

Ubuntu TV - CES 2012 http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/10661/ubuntu-tv-for-human-beings

I already use Ubuntu + Miro on my media center as my primary tv experience, so it's cool to hear about a tv-centric Ubuntu distribution that actually runs right on the tv.

Some of the cooler features include:

  • Easy integration of broadcast, online services and applications
  • Shared-screen experience with iOS, Android and Ubuntu devices
  • Pause on one device, resume on another
  • Ubuntu One integration
  • App framework

Human Slingshot Slip and Slide - Vooray http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/10035/human-slingshot-slip-and-slide-vooray

http://www.vooray.com Check below on how to get hooked up with Vooray clothes :)

Vooray was the one that sponsored this event for this video!! And for everyone that sees this video are goes to there website, they are hooking them off with 15% off there clothes!! Hola! :) All you have to do is use this promo code, "devinsuperslide"!

Also make sure to check out there facebook page! :) https://www.facebook.com/pages/vooray/34142549356

Honestly, Vooray is one of my favorite clothing companies around!! They are all super chill to work with, and they fit my "youtube brand" perfectly :) so I am in FULL support of them! And I'm not getting paid to say any of this, just for the record :)

As far as the music goes.... I got full permission from my friends band to use it. "Can't Stop Won't Stop" wrote the music for this video! You can also buy the song used in the video off of there iTunes, check it out in the link right below! I have there facebook fanpage down below as well :) Check 'em out on iTunes - http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/kitchen-clean-ep/id380290265 And be sure to add them on facebook :) http://www.facebook.com/cswsprovo

Film was made by Devin Graham For the filming of the event my friend Jace LeRoy was a HUGE help in making this all happen as well. We both ran cameras. Another guy filming the event also let us use the footage that he shot in the evening as well. Special thanks to Kevin Kartchner for that!

On a technical note, we filmed this video with... Canon 5D Mark II Canon T3i

As far as lenses we used: Canon 16-35mm F/2.8 L series lens Canon 70-200 F/2.8 L series lens Canon 10-22mm EF-S

Also make sure to follow me on twitter and facebook, it's the cool thing to do these days :) https://www.facebook.com/devinsupertrampyoutube http://twitter.com/devinsupertramp

We filmed this in Paradise Utah, on private property. Vooray built the jump and rigged the whole thing together. The distance of the lake was 150 feet. Several people had been flung 120 feet during the filming of the video. And actually... 3 people passed out on impact from hitting the water.... so I wouldn't suggest trying it at home :)

For more info on the making of this video and the rest of my videos, make sure and check out my blog right below, and while your at it, you might as well follow that to ;) http://devingraham.blogspot.com/

For job enquirers ONLY you can contact me down below. dpdevin@gmail.com is also my email i use daily.

Strangers, again http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/9442/strangers-again

Tilt to move Twario around a world built from your Twitter feed and leap around to interact with Avatars and fill your Tweets with a lot more fun. Tweet, Reply, Retweet - all that is taken care of within Tweet World.

And, like any self-respecting platform game, every action has a reaction as Super Twario is fully Game Center enabled with achievements and scores just sat there waiting to be unlocked. By you.

So what can you expect? - Platform based Tweet World - Tilt controls guide Twario through the Twitter feed - Tap to jump - Swipe to run faster - Unlock Game Center Achievements - Tweet, Retweet, Reply from within the App - Day / Night mode just so you don't, y'know, forget
