Crazy Apple People

This is one of the weirdest videos I have ever seen.

The Power of Thought?

This is not the power of thought. I apologize for the length of the video...whenever you get bored just skip to the last 30 seconds. But seriously, they have put electrodes in monkeys brains, tied up their arms, and the monkeys used their mind to control the robot arms and feed themselves. I may have already posted that video. Are our thoughts more physical then we think? Just because we don't see it, does that mean our thoughts do not physically hurt or heal people that we send them to?

Are you Conscious?

Call me crazy, but what is happening in the world right now is ridiculous. I don't know who this guy is but I agree with him that it seems like we are entering a new age in history. What is going to happen when 6 Billion human minds can communicate instantaneously with each other? It's going to get alot harder to screw people over on the other side of the planet, because it is getting much harder to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to exploitation of people, land, and resources when the whole world lives together in real time. And we are almost there.

Election Celebration - Seattle

So there are hundreds, probably thousands, of these online. Just pick a city. Try starting all of these at the same time to get a taste of the national and global energy that night.

Election Celebration - Boulder, CO

Boulder goes off!! I wish I had a video camera with me at the Abbey that night, because Durango got the party started as well.

Election Night - NYC

Cities around the country broke out in the national anthem, as many found a new spirit of patriotism break through years of disillusionment.

Election Celebration - D.C.

Spontaneous celebration was everywhere.

Election Celebration - Kenya

Election Celebration - Africa

People see this as a new day in breaking down racial barriers.

Election Night Celebration - Chicago

I have never felt so much hope for our country as I have the last week, and alot of people share the feeling worldwide. The excitement is not that Obama is going to be some kind of messiah, but that a large portion of the American people have decided that maybe the people do have a voice and a say in the direction of our country. I think we are facing some very difficult years and our only hope is to work together as a community to face the challenges. Though he has very limited power himself, having a figurehead at the top who seems willing to listen to the voice of the people could be a major catalyst in much needed grassroots overhaul of the way things are being done.

The Corporation

I can't believe I haven't seen this documentary yet, because it's right up my alley. To be honest, I'm not usually a fan of Michael Moore's films as I think he tends to discredit himself by using clips out of context for more shock effect. Even when I agree with alot of his ideas, I don't like his methodology. And this is not a Michael Moore film, which is probably why I really like it. He only has a part. The most powerful part of this doc, idea-wise, is the exploration of the corporation as a person, which it is under law. The film makes a powerful point that if corporations are people, they would be clinically defined psychopaths - no concern for others, no room for guilt, etc. Many, in fact, have been charged with felonies. It was interesting that they did pretty much the same thing with logos in the opening, that I tried to do with my experimental film on the corporatocracy.
