about out of sight
A site of original and unoriginal content meant to entertain and inform. Out of Sight is edited by JJ O'Donoghue and William Hilderbrandt.more about out of sight
If this site had to be summed up in one word and a preceding parenthetical phrase, then it would be (hopefully) entertaining. Think of it as an archive of some of the most interesting articles, videos, photography, and miscellany that JJ and William find online.one more thing on out of sight
Out of sight is Will and JJ's attempt to get noticed and invited on daytime TV or any Fox TV show. Before out of sight, there was rich and creamy, a hugely popular blog for spammers who wanted to sell us penis enhancing products. They were wasting their time.who is this stud william?
William lives in Paris. At the start of 2009 he left London and all his friends and his bad job to come to France, where he hardly speaks the language, to be with his girlfriend. Officially he is very happy to finally be living with her but occasionally he does get nostalgic for London.who is this wise guy jj?
Quite early on in life JJ discovered that he was a fabricator. In 2006 his mum and dad invited him to leave their home in Cork, Ireland and head for London, where he now resides, to shake up the city. He cycles hard, drinks hard and blogs harder. You get the picture.search the archive

From babesonbikes awesome cycling shenanigans.
I have no idea what this video, suitably enough called “Winkers”, is about. However, it is the kind of thing that either Will or me would be hugely proud of if we had created it.
“Lost Cause” from Beck just popped up on 8Tracks, the music streaming service I listen to most often. I am a fan of Spotify, but its ad rate has qaudrupled and is really get annoying. Anyway, this song is probably my favourite Beckensian - can you say that? - piece. Very melancholic but beautiful.
District 9 claimed the top spot of at the US box office over the weekend. It’s the first feature length film from Neil Blomkamp. I saw the trailer recently and it’s definitely worth a look. Due out in the UK in the first week of September.
Here’s Usain doing the 100m in 9.58 in high definition. I must get out someday and try the 100m just to see how long it takes me. I’m guessing around 11 seconds.
Okay, so this isn’t exactly new. Nevertheless let not the fact that it ain’t contemperaneous detract from the self evident truth that auto-tuning the news is funny.
My favourite line from this five-year-old boy’s (with perfect girl hair) renidtion of Folsom Blues is: “When I was just a baby.”
Christoph Rehage walked round China for a year taking self portraits as he went. He stitched them all together to make this neat video documenting his hirsuteness.
Is this real?
Because Sabine has gone like back to Germany, jah, I post this funny German video. Jah bratwurst.
E.T but uglier and without any of that alien charm. [via Why, That’s Delightful]
Just came across these Wire prequels today. There are three in total and they provide some background on Omar, Propisition Joe, Bunk and McNulty. The three clips never featured in the show. Both Prop Joe and Omar are shown as young ‘uns, while the one with McNulty shows him being introduced to the homicide squad. This one is a bit lame.
From the richandcreamy archive:
Apart from all the reasons as to why the Wire is so damn good, the writing really stands out. Who hasn’t come away saying “Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet” a la Senator Clay Davis.
I dig this quote from Sim Charles, counselling Avon Barksdale, who is having doubts about warring with the upstart Marlowe:
“Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight”. (Spoken like a true politician, well except the fact he’s a gangster. Yes I hear you, sometimes same difference)
Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration. Well, so says Collin Cunning, the ‘mad scientist’ in this video. Watch as he mixes corn starch with music at different frequencies. Mad results.
Knives aren’t just for killing people. They’re also for cutting up cucumbers.
