Reverie Sound Revue: Arrows Video and Self Titled LP

I purchased Reverie Sound Revue's self-released EP years and years ago after seeing Lisa Lobsinger with attendant hairdo perform with Broken Social Scene. Recorded or live she simply has a gorgeous ethereal voice.

It's been a long while but they've finally released their first studio LP and the first of a series of online video blog tours from www.boompa.ca.

Check out the first video of their acoustic rendition of Arrows here.

Note: I'm patiently waiting for Boompa to disable their non-embed Vimeo code so I can repost all the vids.

"I've just finished up a chapter in my PhD about social play. Most of it is about online interaction, but quite a bit is about how to bring strangers together to make connections in public spaces.

Serendipitously, Iain just posted this clip thanks to Knotty's. If you don't get why social networks work, watch this."

You Had Me at Prairie Dog

Found this random image while researching rodents in Texas. One colony in Texas got up to 400 million individuals. No wonder.

Real G: Life size Gundam.

This is pretty sweet. Green Tokyo Gundam Project have decided to build a life size Gundam model in a park in Tokyo to celebrate Mobile Suit Gundam's 30th anniversary. Big thanks for my buddy Matt Stoffel for sending this my way.

The Go! Team - Milk Crisis

Just came across this gem of a music video from The Go! Team. Great song to get the day started.

Dan Ariely asks, Are we in control of our decisions?

Informative video from the TED channel on Youtube.

TED Talks Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions.

Four Minutes from Terminator Salvation.

Growing up I used to wonder what the war against Skynet would look like. In two weeks I find out. Till then.

Takashi Murakami For Louis Vuitton - Superflat First Love

Not really a fan of LV but I am loving this new launch animation for the brand.
