Alma
For a limited time only, stunning 3D short form Pixar animator, Rodrigo Blaas. It’s best experienced in fullscreen at Vimeo. (via Waxy)
Weekend Watching: The Ascent of Money
The Ascent of Money (PBS; US only)
Niall Ferguson
Fascinating documentary series adapted from the book of the same name by Niall Ferguson (no relation). It’s not just economic history, but a compelling argument that money is indeed good.
The link leads to the first episode of the four. You can find the rest here.
One of my favorite Christmas albums
Songs for Christmas
Sufjan Stevens
If you like the idea of Christmas music but think you hate the actual music, Sufjan Stevens’ Songs for Christmas might be the album(s) for you. I really wish it was a leaner package (it’s 39 songs) so you might want prune your copy down a bit.
A Spacemunki Odyssey
Little video I made for X-Rite’s Show Us Your Monkey contest. The idea was to use their product and a monkey in a funny video.
Another stock market, except the fate of the planet is at stake? I like it!
A stock market for carbon emissions? Can’t-miss idea, right? Right? [cue crickets]
From the creators of The Story of Stuff comes The Story of Cap and Trade.
Weekend Watching: Taxi Driver
Taxi Driver (Hulu; US only)
Directed by Martin Scorsese
What can I say about Taxi Driver? If you haven’t seen it, it’s a cultural touchstone — watch it.
If any of you buy me a Christmas present…
please make it the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk. (The customer reviews section is a goldmine of belabored comedy.)
