My son got me to watch MinutePhysics, years ago. MinutePhysics uses a stop-motion whiteboard to illustrate and help viewers easily conceptualize a subject, like physics. This particular video explains the theory of the birth of galaxies.
I came across Russian-born Canadian artist Alexander Shubin while surfing the art blog, Kai Fine Art.
What captured my appreciation of his work is the detail he gives his subjects. He's got a unique style in presenting his subjects in a contemporary and surrealistic style.
I came across the artwork by Jennifer Healy, while visiting an art blog I follow, Art Odyssey. Her artwork is majestic, soft and beautiful. She utilizes various types of mediums from watercolor to colored pencils to digital painting.
It was the Summer of 1996, and I was doing an internship in Washington, DC. I joined a group of friends to the movie theater at the Union Station mall to watch the much talked about film, Independence Day.
The sci-fi movie starred rapper-turned-actor Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum, and was directed by Roland Emmerich, now widely appreciated for his disaster flicks.
The theater house was packed. There was even a holler of cheers break out from the crowd when the White House saw its destruction from an alien ship. Remind you, this was pre-9/11, and the only thing that was in our minds at the time was Y2K and the death of grunge.
I recently we to watch Independence Day: Resurgence, and in no way does it match the uniqueness and grandness of the original film. Don't get me wrong, it was great watching Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, and Judd Hirsh reprising their roles.
