Video: Albert Einstein in Princeton, New Jersey

I rather enjoyed this video, Albert Einstein from Oliver Faulhaber, and thought that you might as well. In the early stages of the video, he is clearly walking through Palmer Square in Princeton, New Jersey, I am guessing relatively soon after his arrival sometime after 1933.  On a side note, I am using ifttt to […]

Plant videos and >500,000 views: personal>ephemeral

Why do I consider this to be one of my greatest professional achievements? This page of videos from various botanical organizations throughout the world taken on inexpensive (and now obsolete) Flip cameras?

Despite the slightly melodramatic soundtrack, this is by far the earliest video I have seen taken of the city I called home for quite some time. Immediately I want to cast this […]

Isan’s Gunnera: A lazy post, all rights reserved

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc2yBoYNn8w] And sometimes I reserve the right to lazily post YouTube clicks of bands I like. In this case it is Isan and the track is called Gunnera and both the sound and the video completely remind me of Incheon International Airport outside of Seoul. If the band sounds familiar, I just had posted about […]
