I stumbled across this super creative music video featuring Mac OSX and co-starring a number of other familiar applications. I found myself watching it again and again and again and again… Enjoy!

This image of the Earth and Moon from the perspective of Mars gives me pause every single time I look at it. Completely breaks my train of thought (whatever it may be) and gets me pondering the really important things. Enjoy!

I absolutely had to share this with the world but I promised the individual that created this astoundingly cool contraption that I would not reveal their identity, so we took a shot in silhouette.
