If you need a site to really help you procrastinate, then I found a great one for you.

Basically, its small movies of photographers telling stories of their subjects.  I found the ‘Ronald Reagan’ and ‘Final Salute’ stories pretty darn good.  I plan on wathing the ‘Intimate Death’ feature in a little bit:

As a crime scene photographer for the London police, Sandra Skibsted documented the aftermath of death. Her curiosity led her to photograph the next stage, before burial, in the mortuaries and funeral homes where enbalmers and cremators work with care behind the scenes of death. 3:19 DURATION

Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) — YouTube Inc. founders and investors may reap as much as $1.53 billion selling Google Inc. stock they received when the video-sharing Web site was bought last year.

YouTube investors and executives including co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen registered to sell 3.23 million shares, Mountain View, California-based Google said today in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Google bought San Bruno, California-based YouTube for $1.65 billion in November to tap the market for online video advertising. Hurley and Chen, who founded YouTube in February 2005, may each sell shares worth about $326.2 million as of today’s closing price. Sequoia Capital, YouTube’s largest investor, may sell shares worth $504.4 million.

As a kid I always thought that after the year 2000 everyone would have a flying car and computers would really be cool.  Well, this video shows technology similar to the computer Tom Cruise was using in the film Minority Report.

Welcome to a jail Spain says is the only the one in the world with cell units for families: Disney characters on the walls, a nursery, a playground for toddlers. The idea is for kids to bond with their imprisoned parents while young enough to be oblivious to their surroundings, and for inmates seeking rehabilitation to learn parenting skills. The prison in this town 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Madrid has 36 cell units for families, although now only 16 are occupied, most with Latin Americans. The units of the special F-1 section are known in jail jargon as ‘five-star cells’. (AP Photo/Bernat Armangue)
