Illustrator Kean Soo and writer Kevin Fanning have created a hilarious book about the Internet for babies called Baby's First Internet.
Do not stop to think or edit:
You must be the first who said it.
You heard a brand-new band? What luck!
You'll be the first to say they suck.
In order to increase renown,
add "bacon" to most any noun.
It's not your job to right a wrong,
just mark it FAIL and move along.
Babies won't really understand the book (it's not really for them) which points out some of the many absurdities of web culture but they might enjoy the rhyming text. However, parents will enjoy the light-hearted humor. (via kottke.org)
Laughing Baby Video Wins YouTube's Adorable Category
Ethan was nine-months old when he was filmed falling down from laughing too hard in the video clip below. It is the simple act of tearing paper that gives Ethan the giggles. The clip has won YouTube's 2007 Video Awards in the Adorable category. The clip was also used in an AIG commercial.
Ethan's video beat 3-year-old Kassie's video where she threatens to kick a monster's ass. There were also several cute animal videos nominated in the Adorable category. Way to go Ethan!
