An evening pause: As they say on the webpage, “All shot in one day, one of the last few days of summer.”
Go out and enjoy life. It can be so good.
Twelve Girls Band
The world’s fastest everything
Mumford & Sons – The Cave
An evening pause:
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker’s hand.So make your sirens call
And sing all you want.
I will not hear what you have to say.
Cause I need freedom now
And I still know how
To live my life as it’s meant to be.
David Lanz – Water from the Moon
An evening pause: Apropos of the on-going scientific debate, how about David Lanz’s beautiful piano piece, “Water from the Moon.”
Archimedes – Marble Roller Coaster
Mitchell and Webb – Moon Landing sketch
An evening pause: A comedy sketch by David Mitchell and Robert Webb, in honor of today’s anniversary of that moment in 1969.
“Wouldn’t it be great to make everyone think we’d landed on the moon?”
“Why don’t we just release the footage of the Mars landings?”
Beauty and the Beast – Little Town

Outlining the optimal military tactics for taking the Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle.
Knowledge is power: Outlining the optimal military tactics for taking the Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle.
Above all, we can all agree on this secondary objective:
While in Fantasyland we will have the opportunity to take down the menace of all parents everywhere. The “It’s a Small World” ride will be within our reach. Our secondary objective is to eliminate the ride with extreme prejudice. This isn’t a capture mission like the castle, but one of complete annihilation. Expect heavy casualties as their adorable repetitiveness burns into your skulls like white phosphorous in the jungle. Our sacrifices will be great, but our suffering is in the name of protecting others.

Gilbert & Sullivan – I am the Monarch of the Sea
An evening pause: From Gilbert & Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore.
I always voted at my party’s call,
And I never thought of thinking for myself at all.Chorus.
He never thought of thinking for himself at all.I thought so little, they rewarded me
By making me the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!
Julie Andrews – Feed the Birds
An evening pause: Once, a long time ago, the concept of charity was something that you gave voluntarily, not forced upon you by the will of others.
A technical aside: If you listen closely to the soundtrack to Mary Poppins (1964), you will discover hints of the melody from this song sprinkled throughout. The composers clearly considered it a central theme on which they wished to link to the rest of the score.

Glenn Miller – In the Mood
Things in slow motion: a compilation
Laurie Anderson – O Superman
An evening pause: Good avant-garde music that was actually a hit song in 1981. Listen and watch close and you will catch hints of the naive and anti-American anti-nuke movement of the early 1980s.
The music is still haunting, has a touch of humor, and is definitely worth hearing.
The worst logo fails ever.
Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry – “Your name, sir?”
Lulu – To Sir With Love

How fireworks work
News you can use: How fireworks work.
Having worked for several years on a fireworks team setting up and lighting a county fireworks show in Virginia, I can say that lighting these things is by far more fun that sitting at a distance and watching them go off.
