Calming video

By popular demand I’m putting up something to get rid of AC’s picture while I’m working on another post.

I ran across the video below a couple of months ago and found it to be fascinating. It’s incredible what can be done with a camera, some music and a little creativity. All of which would have gone unnoticed and undisseminated had there been no YouTube. In my opinion, the guys who came up with YouTube deserve every dollar they made on it.

This video despite its simplicity is remarkably calming and almost mesmerizing (to me at least). It’s wonderfully well done. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

    Mr. Eades,

    I posted a question on here a few days ago about that “geek to freak” weight gain and saw that it was waiting to be moderated, but now I don’t see it.

    Like I said I couldn’t really find a great spot to ask you about that, so I thought your blog would be OK. I realize it’s not really relevant to this blog, so would there be a better place to ask you about that? Should I email the question somewhere?

    I understand you have a lot on your hands and if this isn’t something you can answer for free I am willing to pay you. The thing is that I want to try and replicate what he did, but I don’t want to waste my time if it’s not possible.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hey Alex–

    As I wrote in a previous post, I’m trying to get away from spending time answering comments. When I get a comment such as yours, I have to go to the relevant website (or journal article or news video or whatever link was sent), read it, figure out what it’s all about, so I can then answer the comment intelligently. All this takes time, a lot of time, and right now I’m head down working on a book manuscript. So when I get comments that aren’t really comments, but that are asking me a question that takes a fair amount of time to answer, I keep pushing it to the back of the line until I get the time to get to it. The other alternative is to simply post the comment without my response. Which would you prefer?

    Cheers–

    Dr.

    I actually really appreciate and respect that you take the time to do this. I didn’t see that you had answered my question when I made the second comment, or that it was still waiting to be moderated. I wasn’t meaning to sound impatient in any way, sorry if it did.

    Best of luck with the book.

    Alex

    Hey Alex–

    No problem. I’ve got to figure out a better way to deal with all the comments/questions in a timely fashion.

    Thanks for your patience.
