I love how Scott Harrison, founder of Charity:Water works.
He's uncovered a Call, tapped into a positive passion, and created a cause that is worthy, just, humanly and spiritually right.
He breaks down what looks like an impossible task into doable, bite-sized pieces, and invites others to join.
You may or may not decide to support Charity:Water but there is something that we all can do to make our immediate world and the World beyond a better, safer, healthier, happier place.
What are you doing? What are we doing?

Validation. I so believe in this. It's how I want to live my life. h/t @soyleslie #fb

I may be the 1,600,638th person to view this video at this post - maybe late for the train, and maybe you've already seen this, so BRAVO for you! But if you have not, this kind of train won't pull out of the station until you are happily on board.
Now, I know at more than 16 minutes long, this video isn't your typical YouTube flash-in-the-pan. But an award winner at multiple film festivals, it's worth every second. You'll see why.
p.s. Smile!

Been using Pimsleur for a while to learn Chinese but maybe I need to retro to Little Pim #fb

Seeing pictures to go along with the lessons would really help. Plus, Little Pim has that small kid voice. Yeah, yeah, I also have Rosetta Stone software but I can't use it in the car driving or put it on my iPod.

lost in a moment | dennis wheatley video

Mesmerizing.
Text from original post:
one take impromptu film made in Tokyo by Dennis Wheatley and Stefan McClean.
We were sitting in this sushi bar pondering how best to set up a camera to film things all by itself whilst we were in Tokyo.
Take our hands out of the equation... let the camera have its own journey.
I'd taken a cannibalised record turntable with me from the UK with the idea of filming slow panoramas but it was painfully bumpy and stopped every minute.
Then we had our eureka moment and filmed this.
A few years later I was working on a piece of music and married the two together.
The music is all about that feeling when you're half asleep in the sun.. the ambiance of foreign voices becomes a lullaby to dream away.
There's something beautiful in not understanding a language.. it becomes abstract, musical.
Opera is so much better when you can't understand the words!
What we loved about watching this film back was the space that the camera was able to enter.. extremely personal and scrutinising but not too lingering.
dennis
The music is 'lost in a moment' by 'shrift' from the album of the same name.

more trivia: film was originally taken in 1998... married with the music much later.
Thanks for all the positive comments.. will upload a better quality version soon.

Absolutely brilliant: Mike Rowe at TED RT @nancyduarte: I *heart* Mike Rowe: http://snipurl.com/ekkfv

Brilliant presentation by Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe. Make sure you listen to the very end and his diatribe on how American culture has "waged war on work" and lost the value, meaning and significance of good, hard work.
I may just have to start watching Dirty Jobs now. Gained tremendous respect for the mission behind the show, which up to now I have completely missed.
Thank you, Nancy Duarte.

Speak Fluent Japanese Without Saying A Word (domo arigato to Twitter friend @raykwong)
http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=2092&feature=player_embedded
Came across this amusing video through Twitter and Twitter buddy @raykwong. It reminds me of my son saying that during his summer internship at a Japanese marketing firm (in Hawai‘i), the office could communicate entirely through grunts. This video does not display the full spectrum of these monosyllabic, non-verbal but totally audible expressions, but you will get the gist. Or maybe the h-s-s-s-s of it.
