I hadn't made much of an attempt to explore the depths of YouTube, but since discovering VideoSift it's become easier to find the good stuff. They cull the good stuff--from Google Video as well--and highlight it. RSS it. This is how I discovered such videos as this mad crazy dulcimer guy and this surprisingly affecting acoustic cover of "Hey Ya". Other fave vids (found elsewhere) include this new-to-me Miyazaki short which brought me nearly to tears and this illuminating discussion of Pokemon taxonomy.

Oh, wow. Thank you so much for linking to the Miyazaki short. I'd never seen that one before and... wow. I don't if anyone else combines sense of wonder and sadness so perfectly. I just watched Laputa again the other day, and in just six minutes, he manages to capture so much of the same emotion. Wow.

I know! I didn't know what I was watching at first, and of course I didn't understand a word of the song--but the words weren't necessary. So beautiful.
