Linsey Pollak is brilliant. Some of the best beatboxing coupled with creative musical instrument overlays I’ve ever seen. Turn it up, enjoy Pollak’s musical creativity.

The three films they have up now are excellent, each in its own way.

Michael Garnier talks about his treehouse collection and B&B resort. It’s in Takilma, Oregon.

I love this guy, he’s the John Muir (How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive) of the treehouse world.

This documentary takes a while but its well worth it. Garnier and his little Jack Russell terrier are treasures.

A very nice routine using the iPad for close up sleight of hand (in German).

Common cranes fly over Venice, Italy. Amazing BBC footage. Zoom out, it’s worth it.

Micho Kaku is a theoretical physicist who’s incredibly articulate, funny, and fascinating. His site contains numerous interviews and lectures. Dig around after listening to the one linked to above, he’s quite an amazing person.

Fantastic. I started on an Olympia portable typewriter although didn’t learn to touch type until my third computer. I noticed the reporter in the video wasn’t using all her fingers and was looking at the keyboard.

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.

This is an amazing film, really worth making the time (an hour and 21 minutes) to watch. It’s well thought out, well shot, well edited, and the message is nuanced, not a slam dunk for digital or against it.

This is my favorite 4min selection of a larger work by Ralph Steiner. The original was silent, and the DVD had it set to classical music. I have swapped the audio for an electronica/industrial track by 3 Liquid Hz – Little Boy.

I like the remix (by VertikalDesign) and I can imagine that the original is excellent too.

This is a wonderful film by the designers Charles and Ray Eames.

Zoom it out full screen and enjoy the colorful tops and bokeh.
