Ambilight for video tag (Sunday March 14, 2010)
Neat use of the HTML5 video tag, pretty standard player but uses JS to reflrect/seep the colour at the edge "out" of the player and in to the page. Pretty. Mass adoption aside this is the exciting side of HTML video.

Requiem for Detroit - BBC iPlayer (Sunday March 14, 2010)
"Built by the car for the car, with its groundbreaking suburbs, freeways and shopping centres, it was the embodiment of the American dream.
Now it is truly a dystopic post-industrial city, in which 40 per cent of the land in the centre is returning to prairie. Greenery grows up through abandoned office blocks, houses and collapsing car plants, and swallows up street lights."
An excellent documentary of the rise and the fall of Detroit, the American dream and a stark vision of a post-industrial world for city dwellers. Honest and moving, if you ignore the occasional dramatic sound effects and flashy cuts. Seriously Watch this. -
