Because I came here to find the link to the Simpson's (New link), I wanted to provide the other video I discovered this afternoon (via TreeHugger). It's Morgan Freeman doing a Cosmic Voyage. Same general idea, better voice. I think I like this one better than the original, but the original has some sort of sentimental value. Here's the link so others can decide.

Good finds, everyone. Rich, better believe I showed the Simpsons parody. That kind of extension builds my stock with these kids. I played that one and one from Men in Black which I can't seem to raise at the moment.

You might do a search using the keywords “ibm picnic zoom”. If you do this on google you quickly find out the name of the film (PoT). First hit in fact.

Then you’d quickly find out that the film is hoarded under All Right Reserved copyright. Since you realize that it is the ethical right of humanity to share culture you will go to a site like the Pirate Bay, find the torrent file and proceed to download it. Currently, it has 3 seeders.

And of course, if you appreciate the film and find it useful (aka “a keeper”) you might purchase a copy if you have the funds to do so.

I don’t understand the extra credit question. What do you mean “extract the video to your hard drive”?

Extra credit bit: I’d go to Zamzar.com for their free file conversion and put it on my hard drive.

So funny. I was just cleaning up my “My Documents” folder about two weeks ago and I deleted this. I must have had it there for years, but figured that I always could just get it off from YouTube now.

I’d check this link — http://www.fugly.com/videos/4467/powers-of-ten-video.html

(I use it because YouTube is blocked by my district’s net nanny.)

I'd wait until a few other folks had posted and the look for the link in their work. After that, I'd hit YouTube to watch this Simpsons parody.

I’d do a couple of Google searches, get distracted by the ‘Power of ten’ websit (http://www.powersof10.com/) before realising how far behind I was with all the things I was supposed to have done today, and noticing your first caveat, go back to them, looking forward to finding out what the movie actually was!

well, I’m so digitally-impaired that I’d just walk over to my bookshelf and pull down the print copy by Philip & Phylis Morrison (based on the Eames’ film). ISBN 0716760088
