A recipe for “No More War”
Kathie, when you sent me that link in an email, I first put it aside because I though that it would be something deeply spiritual or philosophical and I wanted to have time enough to spend with it.
But, if I would have known how deep it really was, I would not have waited a minute…
Flying off the Sears Tower
I am curious – what makes this vantage point so exciting…
Is it the feeling that you actually fly, or is it the excitement of having cheated death?
The Idea of Freedom is definitely not new
I always equated Charlie Chaplin with comedy, but when I look back, the most memorable scene I remember, is a bitter-sweet scene from City Lights. In fact, beside some shorter clips on TV I did not actually see much of his work.
But after seeing his speech in The Great Dictator I have to change that. I was surprised that this movie is actually not available on Netflix.

This, Jen, is the Internet – the IT Crowd
The first time I heard about the IT Crowd was from Cory Doctorow in one of his BoingBoing posts. Thanks to pirates I was able to watch the show despite not being in the UK, and I was instantly hooked on the show.
After a few seasons I re-visited the IT Crowd in one of my posts from 2009 but now, finally, there are some clips of it on the interweb, so that, for all of you who don’t know these master pieces of television yet, I can share some of the highlights.
Here is one of the best scenes – EVER!

Violins and hot chicks
I reported about the violinist Vanessa Mae in the past and just have to revisit the subject now that another Youtube sensation has crossed my 32 inch monitor (yes, I am using a HD TV as my day to day monitor instead of investing in some reading glasses).
If you haven’t clicked through to the other link yet, here is what I mean when I say Vanessa Mae…
And then we have the bubbly Lindsey Stirling who combines violin play with a very unique type of dancing. I am just blown away how you can hop around so wildly and then play the violin without missing a beat…
She seems to be a real member of the new youtuber crowd, offering something really worth spending your time on and maintaining a light and fluffy communication with the fans. I like it when an artist understands that this friendly contact is way better than being aloof.

The Best Music Mash-Up Ever
It really sounds as if this is one and the same song, and the video elements are just stunningly selected and mixed – Pink Floyd and the Bee Gees, who would have thought?
I never went to the boy scouts
Good that there is Youtube, so that I can make up – at least somewhat – what I missed by never being in the boyscouts.
Like this knot…
