worldwide telescope
this new thing from microsoft called the is pretty analogous to the amazing photosynth project. this time they give us views of space. they describe it like so:
a technology that combines feeds from satellites and telescopes all over the world and the heavens, and weaves them together holistically to build a comprehensive view of our universe.calling it "worldwide telescope" actually minimizes what it does. interstellar or universal would be better names, imho. the video is really amazing and worth checking out.

everlast's "letters home from the garden of stone"
it surprises me that there aren't more popular musicians with songs that explicitly address the wars in iraq and/or afghanistan. there are a lot of anti-bush songs around, but not many that have much to say about what's going on in places where people are being killed nearly every day.
so, i wanted to make sure to point out this new everlast video. it's for his new song "letters home from the garden of stone." it's written from the perspective of a US soldier who is both proud and unsure of the rightness of his cause. i have a lot of respect for everlast in general, and i really appreciate that he was motivated to write and record this.

anime - "tell myself i'm happy"
check out this fun video by the tampa bay-based rapper . the track is called "tell myself i'm happy," and it's reminiscent of the sort of self-effacing underground hip-hop that was at its peak in the late '90s. that's not to say that this track sounds dated at all … i love this kind of stuff, and i wish there was more of it being made right now.
