The immensity of space, the humbling vastness. I lack words and feelings and fail to comprehend. Amazing.

Sahra Wagenknecht – Reichtum ohne Gier
Video: Sahra Wagenknecht – Reichtum ohne Gier im Bruno Kreisky Forum
Wichtige und klare Gedanken zu vielen Themen und Problematiken den Kapitalismus betreffend. Sehr hörenswert trotz teilweiser tonaler Übersteuerung und den mitunter etwas fragwürdigen Fragen.

From time to time I like making little code sketches with Processing, a “flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts.”

Feynman on Fire
Look at the fire inside the eyes of Feynman while he talks about jiggling atoms, heat and about what fire is. Such joy, wonder and excitement. (via kottke.org)

The Bridge at Q’eswachaka
Video: The Bridge at Q’eswachaka
Every year, local communities on either side of the Apurimac River Canyon use traditional Inka engineering techniques to rebuild the Q’eswachaka Bridge. The entire bridge is built in only three days. The bridge has been rebuilt in this same location continually since the time of the Inka.
Seeing this just created a hard to describe feeling of amazement, joy and belonging. (via kottke.org)
