The Sound of Music --- Do, Re, Mi

About this video ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EYAUazLI9k

This video was made in the Antwerp, Belgium Central (Train) Station on March 23, 2009, with no warning to the passengers passing through the station. At 8:00 am, a recording of Julie Andrews singing 'Do, Re, Mi' begins to play on the public address system.  As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances.  They created this amazing stunt with just two rehearsals!

My Interview this holiday

Friends, please see the link below and have a refreshing moment
http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/

Father & Son (With Video)

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?

The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.

One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' too.

For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of
the Big Island.

Father and son went on to complete the race together. Here is the video:

what does your name mean?

http://www.behindthename.com/
Mine traces its roots to the Scottish form of RAGNVALDR, a name introduced to Scotland by Scandinavian settlers and invaders, and became popular outside Scotland during the 20th century. RAGNVALDR is an Old Norse name composed of the elements regin "advice, counsel" and valdr "ruler," thus making it a cognate of REYNOLD.

Write the Future

The future is fiction. In fact, the future is a story that each of us participates in writing every day. It is only when tomorrow transitions to yesterday that will we have the clarity of hindsight; only then, can we know what the future really was. While we cannot predict the future, as designers it is absolutely vital that each of us consider the years to come, so that we are more prepared to prevent, anticipate and cope with that which may occur.

That is why Arup Foresight in association with ICSID has put together a studio to take a look at what life on earth would look like if we decided to follow a trajectory towards “Life @ 1 Planet.”

THE DESIGN 2050 CHALLENGE ( http://www.thedesign2050challenge.com/ )

Through the course of six consecutive weeks participants will be asked to imagine not what will, but rather, what can our world be in 2050 and what would y[our] “Life @ 1 Planet be in 2050?”

While we all know that the future is fiction, this is your chance to pull together your version of the events.

Step one: one Monday 27 July 2009 visit www.thedesign2050challenge.com if you decide to participate you can build a team of people (1-3 people) or you can choose to participate by yourself.

Step two: is to follow the directions on the website and develop a character that can live and breathe on your behalf on the journey to Life @ 1 Planet” in 2050.

Each week participants will be issued a new challenge and will need to submit their responses to the Design2050 Challenge website ( www.thedesign2050challenge.com ). The project will run approximately from July 27th until the first week of September.

Everyday, only those who choose to participate in writing the story of the future; can decide what y[our] story will tell.

Meat the Truth!

http://www.meatthetruth.nl/content/view/113

"A vegan driving a 4x4 is creates less emissions than a meat eater on a
bicycle."

The quote come originally from Captain Paul Watson <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Watson>  (founder and President of
the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) from his article A very Inconvenient Truth
<http://www.permaworld.org/members/permaworld/weblog/a_very_inconvenient
_truth_-.html>  and is:

The bottom line is that to be a conservationist and an environmentalist, you must practice and promote vegetarianism or better yet veganism. It is the lifestyle that leaves the shallowest ecological footprint, uses fewer resources and produces less greenhouse gas emissions, it's healthier and it means you're not a hypocrite. In fact a vegan driving a Hummer would be contributing less greenhouse gas carbon emissions that a meat eater riding a bicycle.

This news report:

Rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars,
UN report warns <http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=20772&Cr=global&Cr1=environment>

is pretty authoritative. It refers to the United Nation's 'Livestock's Long Shadow' report which is pretty damning for the planet should western diets continue their preoccupation with eating animals. 

YouTube Mix = Funky Songs

There's this guy, Kutiman, who took some random YouTube videos and mixed them, forming whole new songs and (music) videos.  This is COOLER THAN COOL.  Hey, maybe he took a snippet from one of your YouTube videos!  He's got 7 songs in this 'album.'  He's working on his 2nd YouTube mix album already.  Kutiman, an Israeli born in Jerusalem, is one of the musical geniuses of our time.  Check his work out.

Problem is, if you are not from the US or not yet visiting the US, they don't have reviews yet of places in other cities and in most other US cities.

They do have information about my favorite places in Berkeley and San Francisco though... :-D

Remember the Milk - Don't Forget To-Do any of your Tasks

RTM (Remember the Milk) is an award-winning, free (for now) online to-do or task list web app.  It is cool!  But I don't use it.  Yet.  Ehehehe.  :-D

The good thing about it is you can add and view items to your to-do list from multiple locations - via your mobile phone web browser, via your iPhone or iPod touch, via Gmail, via Google Calendar, via RSS feeds, via email, and so on and so forth.

Never forget what things you need to do ever again.

Go visit the site.  Remember the Milk.
