The G8 at Lecce seems to have gone well. Solutions to the credit crisis may have been discussed and (according to the recent USD movement) it would seem that the US solution to their problems is considered reasonable. The video simply shows how fast things can move at moments of popular gathering. It’s not like a politically oppressed state like Iran has a monopoly on social protest? Just imagine what this protest would have looked like if everybody in the crowd had the constitutional right to bear arms.
You might see a bunch of Iranians. I see a bunch of neighbors.
Updated today. I mean, come on Paul. You can’t do that. Is this your first day on this planet? From the Calculated Risk blog June 14th, 2009 : a quote from the Noble Prize winning economist Paul Krugman (who is obviously not in the loop) : “You know, the buzz I’m getting is that a second-round stimulus might well come on the agenda.” Are you nuts? Continental plates move on your words! (little pun there…). Anyway, I’m feeling a bit more optimistic about the markets (and pension funds and July 4th) today. Which made me think of this lovely song.
This is a very inspiring song. A computer graphic artist made a video to go with the song. Let the sun shine!
It is fun to see how old songs get used together with other media to become videos. Here is an original clip of the Beach boys performing on the Ed Sullivan Show followed by a modern clip that uses video segments from Disney films to create an interesting intersection of sound and images.
And the clip using the Disney video segments…

It is fun to watch the experts talk about economic recovery. The print up some more beads and shells (paper money), send it to people in the mail, play the flute, smile like Nixon and are amazed that their brilliant plan for increasing the number of beads and shells is working. Too bad you can’t eat beads and shells. Food costs real work and real money. Oh well, perhaps the troglodytes managed to evolve because there weren’t any bankers at the time? In the meantime – bullish on companies that make beads, shells, envelopes, flutes and books with titles like ‘Never get lied to again’.
If you have a cell phone then you will not enjoy this video. Your cell phone can be used to follow your movements during the day and listen to your conversations at home – even if your cell phone is turned off ! Note the part at the end of the video where they show that the only way to protect your privacy is to remove the battery of your cell phone when your are at home or in a meeting. Since this is a copyrighted TV show I cannot put the YouTube video into my blog. To find out the gruesome facts of cell phone lack of security please click on the image below (ht ZgartZ).
When it’s good, it’s good. That’s the way aha aha I like it – aha! How many times have you said or heard that line? This song may almost be as popular as the line – I aha aha – I love you – aha!

Born free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows – free to follow your heart. I like that! For the last week I have had just about every problem with my computers that you can imagine. So, I ditched Windows. Ubuntu Linux – freedom at last. No paperwork, no hassles, no secret codes – just wonderful.
James Brown with some very smooth dancing. Beethoven, Bach and Brown. English students take note! The second video shows the ancient English mating ritual of playing pop songs with your hands. Every English speaking person can play a wide range of immortal classics with their hands. If you want to be accepted at parties in England and the United States then you must master this cultural technique. You will also be asked to play a tune with your hands at many job interviews. You heard it here first!
And now, the ancient English mating ritual. It’s all good…
By special request : Just a little disco modernized and set to manga. It’s a global village. Scooter says in the song : life without knowledge is death in disguise. Rather philosophical. I haven’t got a clue why that line is in a disco song like this one. It’s based on the old disco hit ‘Shake your Booty‘. Oh well, there are lots of words and slang to study in the song.
