Remind me again why music shouldn't be in public school?

Just watching the emotions the kids showed while singing gave me the chills. Music is a very powerful tool and should by used often.

UP IS DOWN (1969)

This is not a happy tale, but a tale of how humanity has dropped the ball. This piece is forty-years-old, but nothing much has changed since then.

Sketchpad

Alan Kay discusses Sketchpad, one of the very first computer graphics programs.

Fantastic Hey Hey Hey

Have you ever wondered where nightmares come from? Wonder no more! Excuse me while I go turn on all the lights in my house.

Skewed views of science

I couldn't count how many times I've tried to explain something to somebody, and had the response, 'but that's only a theory', as if the word 'theory' means that it's some kind of educated guess. A theory is a model of reality that can make accurate predictions about reality. For an idea to be a theory it must be based on observation, experimentation and logic. In short, it must be what most laymen call a 'fact'.

Run away tire falls right into place

What are the chances of that ever happening again?

This is how every marriage should begin

This put a smile on my face. What a joyous and upbeat way to start a life together.

Hausu (1977)

Half naked Japanese girls at a sleepover. Check!
Eerie empty house. Check!
Um, scary cat picture? Check!
Weird Geisha Lady and disembodied limbs. Check!
Uh, killer lampshade? Fuckin' Check!

Anis Mojgani

This guy speaks with such passion. If it doesn't get your blood moving in your veins, I don't know what will.

The nonturbine wind alternative

I think this kind of gadges are the future. No more big power plants. Produce just as much you need to consume.

What the crap are you doing banana peel? You are one creepy object!

Synesthesia

A short film on synesthesia. Rather expressive than informative.

ONCE: Falling Slowly

I had wanted to see this film since I saw its first trailer on the television. My want to see it was solidified when it was featured so specifically on the Academy Awards that year and after this song was performed. It is hauntingly beautiful. I was able to watch the movie in its entirety yesterday afternoon before I went to work and I was pleased. I really could empathize with the story's result, having (a) conflicted heart(s)... All of the music was amazing. I did not dislike a single song. What talented artists!

Jesus Camp ''Highlights'' (aka Brain Washing)

Irrational beliefs work best if ingrained into the subconscious of young ones, in an environment of rigid conformity, unquestioned principles, and strict judgement. Good news, everyone! Sometimes teh brainwash doesn't take. One or two of those kids will wake up someday. And will possibly go on to post snarky freethink comments on the internets.

Horse head pillow

This is about as twisted as my sense of humor gets. Hy-freakin-larious. Bonus points for introducing me to the term frienemies.
