the Unexpressed Advantage

This morning my colleague S. Lee, who is like our own office digg machine, sent us this link to a video of an animation painted completely on public city walls If you're a fan of, well anything visual, then I think you'll be amazed. It's also really long so you can come back and watch the 2^nd half later. You can watch it here after the jump.

The other day someone asked me what kind of books I like to read. Never a fun question, since I don't really like reading books. Not that I don't enjoy them, I just for some reason don't like the act of reading books. Anyway luckily this time I was somewhat prepared, as I had been spending time checking out the list of American classics, most of which I haven't read. They only take a few hours each, so I'm going to have a tentative goal of having this list read by about mid-october. So far, I've only read:

• All Quiet on the Western Front
  
• Call of the Wild
  
• Cry, the Beloved Country
  
• 1984
  
• Old man and the Sea
  
• The Scarlet Letter, and
  
• To Kill a Mockingbird
  

So that leaves a whole lot. Also, I'm going to substitute the Brothers Karamazov for Sherlock Holmes. I don't need to read Sherlock Holmes, I live Sherlock Holmes.

Finally, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is the coolest thing I've seen this week – at least internet related. I'm pretty sure that the scenes from 'minority report' will be reality soon.

Oh yeah, here's that other cool video.
