I caught this short film from The Awesomer. Its a sci-fi short film from the guy who did vfx for 300/Wolverine. Its pretty cool visually but pretty vague for narrative. If you check out the synopses for the film it explains quite a bit more about the universe and such. It reminds me a bit of InfoQuake/Multireal from David Louis Edelman with the internet connectivity and brain hacking. Apparently he is trying to sell it out for a feature-length film.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES (That Really Work!)
1. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you slice.
2. Avoid arguments with the females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.
3. For high blood pressure sufferers ~ simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.
4. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
5. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be afraid to cough.
6. You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape..
7. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
Daily thought: some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Incidentally, notice the bad reporting. The author writes
"The X-ray machine, which was discovered in 1895 and..."
Since when are technologically advanced machines discovered? Did I miss the news that aliens have been here before us?
