My Cousin From JapanWell, I donned the pith helmet and gloves, picked up the shovel once again went back to work on "The Dig." And I'll be darned if I did not hit "Pay-Dirt!" I am never more pleased than when I can report the discovery of some obscure internet offering that has no reason for being hidden from the World. Thanks to the efforts of "DO NOT FOLD" my stumbling into his tumbler page results in my ability to proudly introduce you to "My Cousin From Japan." I really think you are going to dig this too!

Enjoy!

I Am KawehiI Am Kawehi is fast becoming one of my favorite singer, songwriter, musicians. This tune has got to be one of my favorites ATM. Since she was nice enough to share it via her BandCamp page the least I can do is embed it here (for easy access) and ask you people with money to support this artist.

Yo!

I Am Kawehi Robot HeartEarlier I said I was going to
keep an eye on
Kawehi

Now See...

This is what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Enjoy (View on Vimeo for best rez!)

ANTHEM - By Kawehi
(Hot off of her newest EP, "Robot Heart")

HAPPY MONDAY MOFOS!!!! As promised, here is a new music video for ANTHEM, the first single off of my latest release, Robot Heart. Every sound you hear on ANTHEM was created solely with my vocals - hence Paul's idea behind the video:)

I realized after we finished recording the EP that all of the songs were about a Robot stealing peoples hearts and about questioning the worth of the human race as a whole. It was *censored* depressing...which doesn't usually bother me, but this time, I was thirsty for something positive. And thus came the idea of ANTHEM - as a reminder that yeah, we can be assholes at times – but as a race, we are in charge of our own lives – and ultimately we can make a difference in the lives of others through generosity and compassion.

I believe in you – you are the answer, you are the truth – so whatcha gonna do?

Diggin' some Kawehi

I Am Kawehi Robot HeartBelieve it or not I still try to make time to explore those many links to Belgian websites in the BlogDogIt article: Cyberspace-Archeology - "The Dig".  I am currently working my way through the "D" section and found myself on the website of Darkman: darklife.com, where I happened upon the following music video of Kawehi doing a mind-blowing cover of Nirvana's hit "Heart-Shaped Box."

Enjoy!

According to Darkman:
"Kawehi is een Hawaiiaanse die als one woman band interessante covers brengt. Niet altijd even goed, maar ze geeft tenminste een eigen twist aan het origineel. En ze gaat er stevig in op. In Nirvana en Nine Inch Nails bijvoorbeeld."

...but I would not let that stop you. She is all over social media and I for one plan to keep an eye on this techno-tunesmith. Maybe you will too. [smiley:;)]

Hey Rocky - Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat... Again?!?In this day and age we take for granted that Computer Generated Imagery is likely behind the special effects we see in movies and on television. The video below illustrates how with ingenuity and coordination, riggers and grips can still blow our minds.

You will probably need to view this a couple of times to follow all that is going on here.

How They Made The Old Spice "I'm On A Horse" Commercial

Published on Jun 7, 2014 Cody Michel

I LOVED this commercial the second I saw it. But what makes so much cooler, is the fact that it was shot entirely practically, except for the stuff in his hand. ps. I'm aware this isn't video of the take they actually used, but it's so well choreographed that it hardly makes a difference. Original Camera Footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux4C-...

TV Catchphrase Collection

That's All Folks!

wikipedia says:

A catchphrase (or catch-phrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance. Such phrases often originate in popular culture and in the arts, and typically spread through a variety of mass media (such as literature and publishing, motion pictures, television and radio), as well as word of mouth. Some become the de facto "trademark" or "signature" of the person or character with whom they originated, and can be instrumental in the typecasting (beneficially or otherwise) of a particular actor.

According to Richard Harris, a psychology professor at Kansas State University who studied why people like to cite films in social situations, using film quotes in everyday conversation is similar to telling a joke and a way to form solidarity with others. "People are doing it to feel good about themselves, to make others laugh, to make themselves laugh", he said. He found that all of the participants in his study had used film quotes in conversation at one point or another. "They overwhelmingly cited comedies, followed distantly by dramas and action adventure flicks." Horror films, musicals and children's films were hardly ever cited.[1]

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the DayNot long ago, I added a new feature to this website called "Astro Pic of the Day." This addition is visible right now in the left-most column of the home page and brings you the daily photo displayed on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day page.

Thanks to some creative coding and the services of InfinitelyRemote.com I have been able to harvest NASA's daily image and present it here. I encourage you to click on those daily images to see them in their High-Rez splendor and read their descriptions for a very interesting look into the universe in which we live. In the words of the NASA source page:

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

Today's offering was a very interesting video feed that shows a real-time view of the Earth from the ISS (International Space Station.) Not wishing to lose such an awesome "Window on the World," I have chosen to share it here:

ISS High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment


Live streaming video by Ustream

View the "Where is the International Space Station" Map

***QUICK NOTES ABOUT HDEV VIDEO***
Black Image = International Space Station (ISS) is on the night side of the Earth.
Gray Image = Switching between cameras, or communications with the ISS is not available.
No Audio = Normal. There is no audio on purpose. Add your own soundtrack.


For a display of the real time ISS location plus the HDEV imagery, visit here: http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/HDEV/

The High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment aboard the ISS was activated April 30, 2014. It is mounted on the External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. This experiment includes several commercial HD video cameras aimed at the earth which are enclosed in a pressurized and temperature controlled housing. Video from these cameras is transmitted back to earth and also streamed live on this channel. While the experiment is operational, views will typically sequence though the different cameras. Between camera switches, a gray and then black color slate will briefly appear. Since the ISS is in darkness during part of each orbit, the images will be dark at those times. During periods of loss of signal with the ground or when HDEV is not operating, a gray color slate or previously recorded video may be seen.
Analysis of this experiment will be conducted to assess the effects of the space environment on the equipment and video quality which may help decisions about cameras for future missions. High school students helped with the design of some of the HDEV components through the High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program. Student teams will also help operate the experiment. To learn more about the HDEV experiment, visit here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/917.html

Tea or Coffee: What Does Your Country Drink to Stay Productive?

Tea or Coffee: What Does Your Country Drink to Stay Productive?

by Kayla  [ProductivityTheory.com]

If you’re like me, you probably reach for another cup of coffee on the days when you’re feeling under motivated and under productive. But coffee isn’t the drink of choice for all people seeking a motivation boost, as the graphic [above] demonstrates:

The populations of many countries largely prefer tea to coffee, which makes sense given the historical significance of tea in some Asian countries, as well as the main locations of tea and coffee crop production.

According to the data from Euromonitor International, between 75% and 100% of the U.S. population are avid coffee drinkers, along with Mexico, Brazil, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Canadians reportedly consume more coffee than they do tea, but only 50% to 75% of the Canadian population drinks coffee. Interestingly, the U.K. is the only European country with more than 75% of people preferring tea to coffee.

On the other hand, the large majority of Asian countries prefer tea to coffee, with more than 75% of China’s population drinking tea and between 50% and 75% of Japan’s population choosing tea over coffee. Both Russia and some Middle-Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia  also choose tea first.

There are many benefits to drinking both coffee and tea to boost your productivity. For one, both help keep you awake, but they also contain powerful antioxidants that can help boost your immune system, they both taste amazing and they can even put you in a better mood!

Of course, nothing can substitute for some good old fashioned inspiration and hard work, but a cup of tea or coffee on the days you’re feeling less inspired might help!

Which do you prefer when you need a productivity boost? Tea? Or maybe some coffee? Tell me in the comments section!
