OK so it’s not actually Ben Folds, but it’s a good video nonetheless.

When I was making my BLIMPtwo site, I ended up looking at the Goodyear Blimp website, and found this very strange thing: Who decided to do this?!? Also, the thing it’s being compared to is NOT consistent; at one point it compares the pixel density to the previous blimp, but the Date of First Flight is compared to the date of the Wright Brothers first flight – which is a totally different kind of aircraft and notable because it’s the first heavier-than-air powered flight (whereas a blimp is notably lighter than air)....

For good measure I have added my bagel preferences over the same period.

This is the trailer for the multi-part series. I thought it was a cool video, when I initially sent it, but at this point I’ve listened to all the episodes and it’s quite good. You can see that page here.
