If walls could talk, here are some that I’d want to listen to. This is a slower-paced movie and I think more than anything I was intrigued by the idea of anything lasting for 1,000 years.

Robert Rushkin – The Artist [video]
I saw this video yesterday and was amazed by his perspective. I admire people who are so inquisitive about the world and have what seems like an bottomless well of creativity they reach into to produce artwork. Sometimes it’s hard to remember to take that next step and make the the thing you’re curious about. Robert Rushkin…
The making of gold leaf [video]
I came across a click-bait title about this video and had some low expectations. It’s a ‘how-its-made’a bout gold leaf. The incredible part is that, when you think it was sufficiently complicated and they should have stopped approximately 1/10th of the actual process. It’s an incredibly long, labor-intensive process and I can’t imagine how someone came…
For all the language nerds
I found this Merriam-Webster ask the editor series and had to share. So fascinating!
…And no fruit juice (video)
I saw someone post this video who surprised me (given the title). It’s not what you’d expect. I’ve ended up watching it multiple times now, so I must like it.

Managing your time [video]

“The real life cat lady” (video)
Facebook kept recommending that I watch this video and I guess now I’m passing it on to you. Short, well-shot video about a lady who started taking in rescue cats and now has over 700 cats & kittens she takes care of. A little something to break up the day 🙂
“The Art of the Gag” (video)
I stumbled across this video and really enjoyed learning the little bit of history on Buster Keaton and his influence on visual comedy. Thought you’d like it too.
Minka (video)
My friend Zach shared this sweet video with me. It’s about the start of a Japanese architect’s career restoring minkas with his friend, journalist John Roderick. To accurately use a cliché, it’s a beautiful and poignant short documentary in memorial Mr. Takishita’s dear friend. Reading between the pastoral shots, the gleam of Mr. Takishita’s eyes, and…
