Medical miracle on Everest: Ken Kamler on TED.com

This combines my respect and wonder at the Mountains and equally my respect and wonder at the power of the mind. One of my dreams is to see Mount Everest - climbing it I will leave to others, but seeing it with my own eyes will maybe help me appreciate this story.

A Murder of Crows - An Art Sound Exhibit - no place for playfulness?

Media_httpbetaimagest_ellpo

I like the fact that the art piece and the nature and reputation of crows is drawn together. The gathering, the empathy. There are three dreams which are narrated in the exhibit, my response is why are all three of them dark. Surely, if the backdrop is 9/11, the bush years etc, then there must be a place for some optimism. This would be complimented by the playful side of crow behaivour.

On another tack, a sound exhibit of actual crows when they gather would be fun :-)

Another reason why I like this part of the world ... - The Indulgency Pattern

Media_httpfarm5static_mdeuy

Truth be told, we've not been getting out much of late. What with the Olympics and a bunch of other excuses. This past weekend though we took the car off East and ended up at Grant Narrows Regional Park. It turns out that Leftantler has a list of places in BC which we've yet to visit. I can't wait!

8-Bit NYC - an alternative to Google Maps?

Media_httpmapbalancer_jadun

This is one of those examples where you wonder why someone would spend the time doing it, but for some reason you still like it. At least, that's my story.
