Frankmusik - Confusion Girl - Official Video

Cutesy. Why is leaving me their first step? Such a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame :)

Daedelus - LA Nocturn

I am living for this song, really, the whole album. In some of their other songs they dub in some oddly complimentary clips from other genres like modern vocal jazz. I believe that is a Tenori-on he is playing on. I want one so bad. They are about $1,100 and Yamaha makes them. Maybe a reward for passing the big test.

Ooh lala France

Henri Blommers, beautiful man nymph friend, swirls with the tide. Henri was in a small river in France during a midnight summer festival with a groups of friends in tents around an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. The weather and plants were fantastic, he says: "I have a strange fascination for water and plants, actually coming to think of it, I only have strange fascinations." Why are men like Henri all taken?

Star Wars got Coruscant from the word coruscate, I know it

You know how nerds like to draw lines between the names of fictional characters and places and obscure real things? Well, I found one. The producers of Star Wars got the name for the planet Coruscant from the word coruscate. The Merriam Webster word of the day a week ago -- because I like new words every day -- was coruscate \KOR-uh-skayt\, a verb:

1. To give off or reflect bright beams or flashes of light; to sparkle.
2. To exhibit brilliant, sparkling technique or style.

Coruscate comes from Latin coruscatus, past participle of coruscare, "to move quickly, to tremble, to flutter, to twinkle or flash." The noun form is coruscation. Also from coruscare is the adjective coruscant, "glittering in flashes; flashing."

I got this description of Coruscant from Wiki:

Coruscant, seen in Episodes I, II, III and VI, was the capital of the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire, the New Republic, the Galactic Alliance, and the Yuuzhan Vong Empire, as well as being the home planet for one of the galaxies biggest corporations, Coruscant StarYards. The whole planet is a city. It is generally agreed that Corusant is the most important world in the Star Wars galaxy, evidenced by the fact that its hyperspace coordinates are (0,0,0). The planet is essentially one giant city, with skyscrapers jutting several kilometers into the atmosphere. Approximately 1 trillion people inhabit the planet. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, they destroyed one of its four moons and used massive dovin basals to move the planet into a tighter orbit, allowing lush vegetation to grow on it. It was then called Yuuzhan'tar ("Creche of the Gods", in the Yuuzhan Vong language) and made the capital of the Yuuzhan Vong occupation until being recaptured by the Galactic Alliance.

The coruscating cities covering Coruscant trembled with humanity. Does anyone else see this?

Reusable grocery bag PSA

BEEEEEEEEP. Remember your reusable bag before you leave to the grocery store.

Incentive for stopping before the white line

Maybe everyone knows that behind the solid white line at the intersection there are giant sensors that tell the stop light there is a car waiting at the intersection. Mostly everyone who is aware of these pads aims to stop directly on one so that they do not have to wait longer at the light. There are probably quite a few people who are totally unaware of this, too. I have an idea to get people to stop before the white lines. Instead of hiding the sensor pads, outline them in white and paint three dots in the middle of them indicating the function of changing the stop light. And move them back from the white lines. People will learn that to make the light change they have to stop on the pad. Then we will not have cars rolling into people in the crosswalks and things will be safer for kittens.

i worship this perfect sphere hanging in perfect balance in the most unusually rare temporal lineup of decomposition and enlightenment that we have ever seen through any telescope. and i am ashamed to call myself its guardian. look at how beautiful it is.
