Macklemore flash mob dance performance at Yale
(CBS News) We here at The Feed like to think we have a knack for identifying talent. To give an idea, we've been singing the praises of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis for years now (way before they blew up!). Which leads me to this video that tangentially involves them. But instead of "singing" praise, they're paid tribute with a dance performance: Ivy-league flash mob-style!

(CBS News) The man in the video above has some exciting things to tell about Lego Town, and is shooting a promo for it. Which would normally go pretty smoothly, except for one unexpected problem. Oh, did I mention that he happens to own a cat? Well, he does...

(CBS News) We all want to do a bit of traveling here and there, but tend to encounter obstacles that prohibit doing so. (Cough, time and money, cough.)

(CBS News) Let's start things off with something cute and light I've been keeping up my sleeve a while now for a metaphorical rainy day. (It's actually very sunny today in NYC.) I'd say it's finally time to... release the Kraken! Oops, did I say Kraken, again? I've always wanted to say it and sometimes it pops out by accident. What I meant to say was: release the baby macaques!

Continue »Cases of technology and creativity coming together
(CBS News) We've got two great cases for you of when technology and creativity come together and become something amazing. First up, IBM has created a film on a level so small (not in an indie, hipster kind of way) that you wouldn't be able to see it with the naked eye. Luckily, they're IBM, and have the technology to prove it exists above. Did someone say stop-motion atoms?

(CBS News) The year was 1998 and a song was spreading like wild fire. With its upbeat sound and almost nonsensical lyrics, it became a smash hit that you're bound to know. But what if the question in the chorus was real? One singer ponders that with his cover of the classic above. Raise your hand when you recognize the song in question. (If the headline isn't a total spoiler.)
Continue »Manhattan shown magic through lens of creativity
(CBS News) I commented recently on the magic that sometimes comes with living in New York City (based on an impromptu performance by Michael Bublé). And where I was referencing a concept based more in the real, this creative piece above provides a much more literal interpretation of the idea. So go ahead and click play to let it work something of a spell over you.
Continue »Local TV commercials as an art form (and hilarious)
(CBS News) I once wrote a column for YouTube Trends on the multitude of ridiculous and hilarious local television commercials on the web. And over time they have become elevated into (almost) an art form, with some savvy people identifying the viral video gold to be plundered in this medium. So go ahead and click play on the video above to see one such nugget yourself.
