Timescapes Timelapse: Learning to Fly from Timescapes
Lyrics:
I am a bear bear bear bear
I am not a car bear bear bear
I can’t walk but I can dance
I can’t talk but I can sing
I am a bear bear bear bear
I am a bear bear bear bear
I hate fighting bear bear bear
My rival is fried shrimp
I was probably chocolate in a previous life
I am a bear bear bear bear
Bonjour! Je m’appelle Kuma. Comment ca va?
(Hello! I am Kuma. How are you?)
I am a bear bear bear bear
The winter is cold bear bear bear
In the evening, “Goodnight, Mr. Pillow”
In the morning, “Good morning, Mr. Pillow”
In the evening, “Goodnight, Mr. Pillow”
In the morning, “Good morning, Mr. Pillow”
I am a bear be-be-bear
Mama* bear bear

Anyone who’s spent any time in Shibuya, Japan, will instant recognize one of the busiest intersections in the world…but with…grass??? The Green Island project, in a series of faux photographs that replace Tokyo asphalt with something a bit…greener, aims to remind us that we do not live apart from nature, even in a dense city like Tokyo.

california has earthquakes, japan has 108 active volcanoes. which would you prefer?
two volcanoes in japan and one in russia all erupted overnight. mount asama, one of the volcanos in japan and only 145km from tokyo, was captured on several webcams from different angles. the time-elapsed videos are nothing short of astounding. even the aftermath is breathtaking with a beauty of its own.

I’ve always loved this short video. I remember watching it for the first time in junior high, I think, and being completely blown away by “the powers of 10.”
I want–no, I need to see this movie! The title says it all: “High Kick Girl.” The best part? Star Rina Takeda can really fight. I mean really fight!

Is it just me, or is the music in the commercial a dead ringer for the fight music from Star Trek TOS?

Sorry for embedding such a large picture, but this is just breathtaking. Click through for more astounding pictures of the sun.

Hmm…I agree with stupidityfordummies’ rant about people’s ignorance of FDIC’s insurance limits. Most people don’t realize that despite what all the news is saying, the FDIC does insure some accounts for over $100,000 per person. That drives me nuts, too.
