Just found this amazing short film, with no dialog, little to no music, and no human characters. Within five minutes the filmmaker relays a frightening vision of the European Colonization of Africa using grass, logs, and insects.
Brilliant!

I haven't really done a music podcast in a while, and this is kind of a hybrid. A couple of weeks ago I'd heard a rumour that Gil-Scott Heron had passed, which I later found not to be true. The thought did cause me to re-listen to much of his work, and since he is generally unknown to many people of my generation and younger, I thought it would be a good time to share. Pieces of a Man was the title of one of his most popular albums, and co-opting it for a piecemeal appoach to his early career, seemed appropriate for this post.
Unlike most podcasts I do, I certainly cannot claim that this is Creative Commons, however I hope it is educational to many of you and enjoyable as well.
A consideration of that which makes us take notice by juxtaposing through choice and serendipity.
A beautiful, short one-minute slice of life from a town near Taipei City. Just a gorgeous moment in time that creates an almost zen-like peace in me. Now I can go to bed.
A late night rant on governmental impropriety and how the world seems so absurd.
