I know the admittedly very creative mathematical ballet short has been the real crowd-pleaser among the widely hyped video essays submitted by this year's applicants to my alma mater, Tufts University, but allow me to cast a rogue vote for "In My Shoes." I say "rogue" not only because "Math Dances" has attracted 97,058 YouTube views while my nominee has logged just 25,541, but because I heard a Splendid Table segment this morning about hunting buffalo in the Alaskan wilderness and now I simply can't get Going Rogue Sarah Palin out of my mind.
[Listen here to an All Things Considered report on the Tufts video phenomenon, and if you're really into amateur, multimedia madness, here is one of the short travel videos I put together in Uruguay in late 2008.]
