If this video says anything, it’s what a spectacular planet we live on. And beyond that, what an awe-inspiring universe too – at least the tiny fraction of it that can be seen with the naked eye. Relax, take a deep breath and enjoy (in full screen mode). Purely Pacific Northwest from John Eklund on Vimeo.
Ride, Clyde
We present this very pleasant and artistic little excursion in the hopes that you – yes, you – will see it (so far so good) and be inspired to visit one of the excellent venues in our area for a bike ride. The Greeneway and the Canal come to mind, but there are many more, both here and wherever you …
Want to get away?
Look at all the people who did on Black Friday – and in just four and a half hours. Landings at San Diego Int Airport Nov 23, 2012 from Cy Kuckenbaker on Vimeo.
I call shotgun
You know what? Screw everything. Let’s just hit the road. It’s Hump Day. Time for a break. A Hump Day Hiatus. Road trip! Let’s check out Yellowstone. Devil’s Tower. Buffalos. Mount Rushmore. Chicago. Farmland. Niagara Falls. The Big Apple. Cape Cod. Let’s do it all. We deserve it. And let’s take 5,000 pictures and put them all together to document …
This Hump Day’s Hiatus
And it’s a good one. But really, aren’t they all? Here’s the inspiration for this hiatus: a study published in Psychological Science found that any smile, including a fake smile, decreases stress. The study measured smiles so completely fake (you’re going to smile when you read this) that they weren’t even made by study participants themselves: in some cases researchers …
Shanghai in 5 Minutes
When we buy products made in China, this is where our money is going. And this is what they’re doing with it. Pretty impressive. It’s this week’s Hump Day Hiatus. Enjoy full screen! Guangzhou’2012/CHINA from zweizwei |motion timelapse| on Vimeo.
One hiatus, coming right up
Yes, here it is already, Hump Day for the week of November 4, 2012. That means it’s time to take a short break and recharge our batteries for the remainder of the week with a mini-vacation. Last week our destination was Ho Chi Minh City, and in previous weeks we’ve gone to Malaysia, Lake Tahoe, Tasmania, the Grand Canyon, and …
We’re Going to Ho Chi Minh City
It’s Hump Day, so it’s time for a break. Let’s go to what used to be called Saigon, and as a bonus, everyone who watches this will get profound new respect for how smooth and orderly the traffic flows in [fill in the blank for your city, or the city you think has horrendous traffic]. I don’t think they believe …
Hump Day Hiatus No. 10-24
Perhaps you’ve seen this before. It’s an unusual choice for our Hump Day Hiatus since it isn’t a destination you can point to on a map. However, it is a destination worth traveling to: the place where we don’t judge books by their covers or, more importantly, where we don’t judge people by their looks, their clothing, and other superficial …
One Big Hole Hump Day Hiatus
I have dug several holes in my life (literally and figuratively). Some of them were pretty big, but none of them ever turned out quite this spectacular.
