I can hardly believe this song is 30 years old. From the days of punk/new wave/anything goes. It is a strange song by a local band called Human Sexual Response. I like the guitar solo though.

The best cat video of all time. Via Roger Ebert.

http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/the-bes ... -time.html
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Two powerful and inspiring adverts for the absolutely awesome Paralympics (which I am just loving!)

Channel 4 advert, 'Meet the Superhumans':

Samsung, 'Sport doesn't care who you are'

I've deliberately chosen non-official links as the official YT vids can't be viewed by US folk. 8)

The characters in the game are his 3D models... the animation happens separately. The trailer graphics were a different company.

Another gritty reboot of a comic franchise. ;) I would so pay to see this.
