Photosynth Demo. Amazing

Nancy’s brother Inbo just told me about this video he saw on the TED website. It’s really an amazing technology and demonstrates clearly (to me anyway) the path ahead. I think technology is growing exponentially and there is about to be a rebirth in how all of us see the world and our places in [...]

I found this cool video on mountain climbing that documents the trip but also explains some of the science involved. I did a search and it turns out that there were other episodes as well. I’ve included most of them in this post. They are all really good if you like this kind of stuff. [...]

Our Apartment

I wanted to quickly post another quick image of our apartment. I posted this one because you can see Mt. Halla in the background. Most places you go on the island you can see the mountain peak. Since it’s been raining here a little, it really snows on the mountain. The days have been crisp [...]

Regional Information Control

All I can say is: “Fuck this shit”. I’m sure soon we’ll have to pay for access to information even more than we do now. What an upside down, messed up world we live in. I get this more and more visiting certain websites while living here in Korea.

The Alphabet

So I just posted an old Sesame Street number animation and thought I’d balance it out with an alphabet animation. This sorta works from the darkness and light aspect as well. I think I might show this to my really terrible students… hahaha… Do you think they would remember the alphabet? Or just have nightmares [...]

Blast from the Past

I remember loving this song and animation when I was little watching Sesame Street. I’m not sure why this crossed my mind today, but I did a little searching, and BLAM! Here it is for your viewing enjoyment.

So I got a message from Erica Cho the other day and decided I should go an check out her site. I found this really cool tag art animation she posted. I just had to repost it on mine. I don’t mean to be a copy cat, but hey, if it’s good, it’s good, ya [...]

Cool Video

Check out this video I found on Yahoo Korea. This guy is pretty nuts but I must admit I would have to try the same thing if given the chance. This is Caminito Del Rey in El Chorro, Spain.
