Clip: Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes
If you're interested in history, stats, and human development then you'll cream over this.
Hans Rosling's famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport's commentator's style to reveal the story of the world's past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of 'The Joy of Stats' he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers - in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

Visualisation and Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee wrote this letter to himself in 1969...
"I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
Bruce Lee
1969"
He then went on and achieved exactly what he intended.
You decide why... :)

Notion #6
"We don't need no more rappers, we don’t need no more basketball players, no more football players; we need more thinkers. We need more scientists, we need more managers, we need more mathematicians, we need more teachers, we need more people who care…we need more women, mothers, fathers, we need more of that. We don’t need anymore entertainers." — Tupac

Clip: 2 'Suns' spotted in Chinese sky
This news is a few weeks old now, but still interesting nonetheless. I wonder what it is.
Thought of the day #4: Time
The nature of time can be found in the nature of... well... nature.
Time moves along like how a fern tree is structured. On every fern tree you can focus on a leaf which is like a mini fern tree in itself. Then on THAT mini fern tree there is ANOTHER mini-er fern tree, and so on. The cycle repeats and gets infinitely smaller and divided up into little mini fern trees until all a fern tree leaf comprised of ALL fern tree leaves is reached. It reaches a zero point. An inconceivable point of oneness. "Point zero". Same with time.
