Prepare to giggle! 😀
… because – nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Olden Day Colours
This is a film of London, taken, in colour, in 1927
This process for colour film was created by William Friese-Greene in the last part of the Nineteenth Century, but it was his son, Claude, who created a series of moving pictures using his father’s process. The film itself is originally black and white, with each frame exposed through two different coloured filters, then stained either red or green – I think the film above resembles old hand coloured photos.
It’s amazing to think that there were colour films in the Twenties… but this one is supposed to be the earliest example, even though, to some historians, it may not have been entirely successful.
This shows clips from the film –
It was made by Edward Raymond Turner – in 1902.
Miniscule
This is just a five minute filler on the ABC, but my boys love it – lots of giggles 😀 They especially love the ladybugs..
Who knew that you could have so much fun with fake insects and absolutely no dialogue?
Rain Down
I thought I had this song on here… couldn’t find it (possibly didn’t tag it..)
I’ve been listening to the Jesus Culture version, and wanted to hear the original again..
Back to the start! 😀
This is not an official clip – it’s someone driving home with a camera on the dashboard – I think it suits the song, though..
Enjoy! 😀
The Doctor Puppet Returns!
Yayy! The third episode! It’s well worth checking out the first two on Youtube as well..
The umbrella! The angel! Bad Wolf! NINE! 😀
How To Succeed In The Arts…
..by Neil Gaiman, at a commencement speech at the University of the Arts last year.
The problems of failure; the problems of success..
… secret freelancer knowledge 😀
I got to this clip from this blog, which is about the “Imposter Syndrome” (also referenced in the speech) – the “unshakeable feeling that you are getting away with something, and that any moment now they will discover you.”
I would think that’s a quite common feeling in all sorts of professions, but possibly more prevalent in the arts..
It’s what you do with it that counts..
Letting that feeling rob you of the enjoyment of successes in your field would be sad..
Allowing it to prevent you from ever attempting to succeed would be worse..
A Boy And His Atom
I’ve been seeing this around… the world’s smallest stop motion film..
.. IBM researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope to move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules..
Cute 😀
