The great Eyjafjallajökull

Phillip and Alison discuss the great volcano and some interesting related videos:

The awesome power of nature is evident in the Icelandic volcano, which has affected travel around Europe and the world. If you watch this touching video, you will be moved to wonder and awe at the immense beauty and destructive power of the infinite universe! Fantastic pictures are accompanied by the brilliant harmonies of Iceland's own Sigur Ros!

Here on Al Jazeera English news there is a segment about the volcano and how to pronounce the name. There is even a guest appearance by a nice Icelandic singer who plays a song on the ukelele about Eyjafjallajökull!!!


There are many different ways to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull, and here is just a short sample video of people trying to say it! It's not easy to say, so it's understandable for them to make a mistake, but it's still funny!!



Where's Werner?

Werner Herzog, the acclaimed director and mastermind, has turned his talents to exploring the phenomenon known as Where's Waldo/Wally. His latest project is a dazzling expose of Waldo's existential crisis and the 'litany of picture postcards' that document his strange journeys. Although we may know where, we don't really know the who, why or how of Waldo's amazing quest. Classic Herzog!


Children lie, it's true!

This article claims that children who lie will be more successful later in life! The earlier a child starts telling convincing lies the more likely they are to be a success in later life.



Here's Johnny! He remembers

A masterpiece is delivered here by none other than Ashleigh Nankivell! She got her hands on an creepy old Public Service Announcement from TV, worked some After Effects magic on it, and made it even creepier and cooler. The result is a very interesting little PSA with occult and supernatural themes, and message to the heroic little Johnny inside all of us. Ashleigh also has many other fun and interesting videos worth a look.

If you are interested, the original PSA can be found here.



Hot and/or Cold

Masterchef Australia has Katy Perry's hit song 'Hot and Cold' as their theme song for this season. We found a great version on YouTube, by a really cool Ukranian folk/polka band; it's arguably better than Ms Perry's version. This is a great version sung with joy and passion, and it's actually a good song too.
