Another Cloud Reel

Today’s magical moment:

Another Cloud Reel… by Delrious. Time lapse videos of the Bay Area. Clouds, traffic, fantastical ships.

local version:

Sour – Hibi no Neiro

I think this is just wonderful.

You should play it full-screen.

local version:

日々の音色 (Hibi no Neiro)  by Sour a Japanese music group. (via) (originally via Vimeo but the content was removed just 1 minute after I made this post, that’ll remind me never to post content I don’t host!) (via) (via)

Here are the lyrics (via). They are worth reading.
Lyrics:

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

Footsteps of spring
the city starts adding color
The melody flowsLE LU LA LI
Through the colored lenses

Whats the most important thing?

Spinning and turning on the overpass
as we overtake that season
this and that, which color is your melody?
Sometimes you could get confused

What are you thinking of now?

If we can embrace all the differences
It will shine the sky in rainbow colors
Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Dont worry about it, lets just go as we are.
If we can embrace all the differences
The rain will stop, and the sky will shines in rainbow colors

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday
You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Let your tone shine like the rainbow

Pass through the maze of everyday
And start playing your tone

Rap Chop

New York DJ and remixing artist Steve Porter has made something cool.

Watch  Rap Chop, a remix of  Vince Shlomi’s  Slap Chop infomercial. After you’ve watched the Rap Chop video, be sure to watch slap chop just to see how masterfully Steve Porter remixed it. Steve has made all of his source files available on his website so you can slap your own troubles away :-)

Good Words

Today I formally declare a new addition to the list of Good Words. These are words that bring a smile to the young and old alike. Former inductees into this list include “Thwack!”, “Pseudopod!” and of course an old favorite, “Mukluk“. Today let it be known far and wide that the following word is officially Good.

Thank you, and good night!

What does this mean?

I feel as though some sort of “understanding” is conveyed in this video.

Wow, I’m really pretty freaked out by it.

Please tell me what it means!
