This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. It’s called Moments and it was directed by Will Hoffman.
It’s four minutes full of random moments that make up life. It’s a good flick all on its own but it’s even better in the context of RadioLab’s After Life series, which begins with an hour long show filled with stories dealing with the space and time beyond the point of no return and is followed up by a handful of equally excellent shorts (12,13,14,15,16,after birth) to close it up. This is the second-to-last short in the set.
Pretty eerie stuff coming from RadioLab but not that surprising.
This is a song that was supposed to be part of The Roots’ last album, Rising Down. If I remember correctly, the story is that it was not included because they failed to clear a sample that was used in the track. Also, considering that this was one of The Roots’ grittier sounding albums, something has to be said about it not fitting within its continuity. (Although it was included in the European release.)
We have exactly a month left before we board our flight to India and I suppose it’s not too early to start packing, or at least start thinking about what to pack. Always helpful, The New York Time’s Frugal Traveler Blog has a post up listing the top 10 travel gadgets for under $50.
Maybe I don’t fall under the ‘most travelers’ category after all because unlike what the post states, I’m not big on gadgets. Besides a camera, and most recently a netbook, I don’t pack any other gadgets. I stopped carrying my Swiss army knife in an effort to cut down to carry-ons, but I might change that this time around. Other than that, I never considered zip lock bags or locks gadgets, then again, a travel space bag is not your standard zip lock bag and a Kryptonite R4 is not your regular lock.
But like I said, it’s always good to start somewhere and as always, never underestimate the value of the comments section, specially in a post like this.
Great fan made/unofficial commercial for Trader Joe’s. It almost made me wish I’d love my local Publix as much. I mean I like it a lot, but not that much…
