caine's arcade will make your heart grow three sizes.

A 9-year old's homemade cardboard arcade in an east L.A. auto parts shop, and the dad who gave him the space and support to create it.

Quite simply the best 10 minutes and 58 seconds you will spend this month:

“This is the really wonderful thing about this story,” says Robert Thompson, popular culture expert at Syracuse University in New York. “It’s having a fantastic digital success,” he says, “but what it is celebrating is the actual value of real-world, completely nondigital creativity.”

Makes you want to step away from your monitor and go make stuff--real stuff--out of nothing.

You're right. My best 10:58 this month, and it's been a pretty good month. Also, finally, I see social media being useful.
