[youtube]uZ_u4QuiZxA[/youtube] VIDEOS, Youtube — This is a humorous video, in Bulgarian, showing Bulgarian sense of humor about their country. The title is ‘Bulgaria versus the EU’ Much of it is universally visual, despite the Bulgarian text. There is a musical soundtrack, which can be muted if you are watching at work. Sometimes humor provides good insights into national characteristics or feelings. [youtube]bFnHF08UGtw[/youtube] VIDEOS, YouTube – An interesting video on the twentieth century, popular online. Largely a narcissistic century in this view, increasingly focussed on the self. English with Spanish subtitles. [youtube]FMqftVhOuTw[/youtube] VIDEOS, Youtube — These are just insane. Actually my last article about the BMW videos led me to find this. Incredibly offbeat and unusual art & design from this Dutch artist, Theo Jansen. The machines are almost animal like, yet man-made. Machines that crawl across the land as if they are insects, or prowl as if they are a hybrid between war machines and leopards. These are original, unusual, and this video is well worth watching. This is avant-garde. [youtube]a7Ny5BYc-Fs[/youtube] VIDEOS, Youtube — This one’s been attracting quite a lot of attention on Youtube. OK it’s an advert, and they’re not saving the world, but it’s worth a look from a design viewpoint. And corporations like BMW should be encouraged to improve automobiles and other products by engaging with designers. Besides, BMW are one of the world’s best crawling, no … driving, machines…. Watch. You’ll see what I mean. [youtube]oNsCaVC4Z0o[/youtube] Videos, Youtube — What is so great about the USA is that people just ‘get on’ with new ideas. Youtube has become part of the election process asking for submissions from voters. it may not be as effective as traditional media yet, but as truly high-speed broadband video grows it can only become more important in political democracy. So, watch this space! [youtube]3QOvEG27Gt4[/youtube] VIDEOS, Youtube — We all like Lego. But not only is it a great toy to teach your children spatial and logic skills, now it’s a tool. The increasingly complex robotic tools made available by Lego Mindstorms allow your child to become a little engineer at a young age. And quite a few university labs use them for various projects. This great example is using Mindstorms to > more

The basis is a French botanist using a light material on the skin of a building, on which various plants can be grown. From the site: “Mass Studies was founded in 2003 by Minsuk Cho in Seoul, Korea, as an investigation of architecture in the context of market-privileged culture of mass production and > more [youtube]nkBg32NjHWA[/youtube] VIDEOS, Youtube – Interesting film, unsure of the source. Makes a case for global supply chains and trade, apparently shot in the 1950s, by its appearance. Worth a look even if just to disagree or not! VIDEO, Youtube — Interesting video from YouTube on inflation in everyday prices in China. The program has a strange (!) name, perhaps due to translation, but this is an interesting video supported by numerous news articles. |

COMMENT, Australia — Call centre workers are an unloved occupation. But industry practise, and individual behavior are at least partly responsible.

Now to the latest debacle…
