The Venice Project is a secretive new video content delivery platform that has been getting a lot of buzz recently. Why is everyone talking about it? Mostly because it’s being developed by Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstr the Scandinavian entrepreneurs behind both Kazaa and Skype. With a track record of delivering highly successful and disruptive technologies, many people believe that the Venice Project could leap frog the offerings of sites like Youtube. By combining essential aspects of the television experience with the latest Internet technologies, The Venice Project promises to “change the way people think about television.”

Or something. Honestly I don’t really too much about it other than it’s a P2P desktop app and all the tech blogs seem to be writing about it.

I got a Rubik’s cube for Christmas and I’m completely addicted. Check out this playlist of videos that details the most intuitive way to solve the cube. This solution is nice because there are only a couple of algorithms to memorize.

Some day I’m going to ACTUALLY solve it with my feet just to prove that I’m better than Gondry.
