I first ran across this Kickstarter company, Nomatic, last year when I saw their travel bag video last year that was really cool: youtu.be/qMtZ8Pirp… like they’ve just launched two companion products featured here: Backpack and Travel Pack.Continue to be impressed by their designs, and may be in my future. :)
I tend to key into sound, and my mind tends to mental map its shape to some degree. This video does a really cool job of showing what those shapes look like, and is a great science experiment to boot.Presenting Nigel Stanford’s “Cymatics: Science vs. Music”.
Really enjoyed this video by Dr. Rick Rigsby sharing real life wisdom from the wisest person he ever knew, a third grade dropout.Hope you enjoy too.

Authentic argument as path to peace - Catholic Bishop Barron at Facebook HQ
Walt Disney explains his vision for his Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow in 1966, shortly before his death from lung cancer in December of that year. I can’t help but imagine what the world would be like if this vision had been brought to life - he definitely anticipated what was needed for a maturing industrialized world.Some may be familiar with what is now called EPCOT in Disney World Florida, but it’s more akin to a theme park / permanent world fair, than the original plan described above. While visiting there a handful of years ago, I remember being struck by thought: “the future is built of dreams”, and Disney definitely dreamed.I most recently saw a 3h 40m biography of his life, both the good and the bad, made by American Experience and published in 2015 I believe. It’s available until Sep 29, 2017 if you have a PBS app subscription, and would highly recommend. Also found this fan site on the original EPCOT plan:https://sites.google.com/site/theoriginalepcot/

“They crossed the barrier from the life they lived, to the internal world where myth lives in all of us - and Disney provides the passage.”Ron Suskind commenting on Clark Gable and Carol Lumbard’s reaction to seeing Walt Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” at its premiere.(around 1:06:00 in American Experience’s documentary on Walt Disney)
Movies are the grown-up version of make-believe. — Random thought that occurred to me today.
