Music Monday – “Anything we have known/Anything we’ve forgotten/In the rain/In the dark/We’ll lay”

Pretty cool video made with tens of thousands of jelly beans and a lot of stop-motion photography…

Sappy Sunday – It’s Time

A great commercial from Australia provides a touching perspective on an important social issue… (via MetaFilter)

Friday Fun Link – A Month In Music

Maybe this should be a Music Monday post as it’d probably fit there too. There’s a new Tumblr blog written by a guy who realised his iTunes library had 10 000+ MP3’s almost perfectly equal to a month of music?  He decided to put all of his music on shuffle for a straight month with […]

Music Monday – Occupy with Aloha

A Hawaiian slack-key guitar musician named Makana was asked to play at the APEC Summit as background during one of their dinners.  But, being sympathetic to the Occupy Wall Street cause, he wore an “Occupy with Aloha” shirt during his performance and also chose […]

Sappy Sunday – Sometimes Real Life Is Better Than Any CGI Fiction

Guaranteed to blow your mind – a time-lapse video shot by International Space Station astronauts flying over the Earth over a period of two months. Earth | Time Lapse View from Space | Fly Over | Nasa, ISS from Michael König on Vimeo. (via MetaFilter where they’ve solved what the ribbon of light across a […]
