A nearly continuous wire that encompasses 150 city blocks of Manhattan forms the “walls” of a symbolic Jewish household called an eruv. “The Orthodox and other observant Jews living within this ‘home’ are permitted certain actions outside their literal homes — pushing a stroller to the synagogue, carrying keys, walking a dog on a leash — that would otherwise be forbidden on the Sabbath.”
James Brown, 1933-2006

Whiteboarding is a term often used in creative circles to describe a free-form brainstorming session where participants write their ideas on a… wait for it… white board. This animator uses the whiteboard to create a stream of consciousness style animation with perpetual innovation and refreshment of ideas. It is a brainstorm come to life. It is 10 ideas every 10 seconds. It is fabulous to watch, and I want to see more. I love it when the sun starts to set on his day and you can see the shadows and light come over the board.

Proving your patriotism by hating the people the government tells you to hate.
Well, I guess they’ve added a new country to the list of our enemies. I better hate them, too, if I’m going to prove my hatriotism.
