Music video on Youtube, "Faded" by Alan Walker. Official version has lots of intriguing scenery, shot in Estonia. I usually don't pay much attention to number of views except this one has over 3B (that's billion).

Also is a live outdoor performance of this song by Iselin Solheim (she's Norwegian but sings in english); best one I think edited by "DJ Salvador" which removes sounds of crowd cheering, better than one which didn't. Beautiful lady with nearly angelic voice singing a song with haunting lyrics; set off by green, acqa and yellow laser show, and fireworks.

BTW Alan himself has some Norwegian roots as his middle name is Olav.

Good old Alec. Thanks to him I found out that some lanterns that I've seen in 3D works are not electric, but rather gas mantle ones. I can't wait for him to make an analysis of incandescent lamps.

Most of the dogs bred in the USA (AKC) are just for looks, but there are still some serious working dog breeders in Germany and the Czech Republic.

Rudy clearly exceeds expectations. What a pleasure to see. Hopefully cigar puffing, Dia del Muerto lady sees him.

When people ask me what kind of dogs we have, I say a livestock guardian (Anatolian/Kangal from Turkey; very, very difficult for a family dog), a 75 pound rescue who likes to bark at non-family, and a ranch dog from East Texas (Australian Shepherd) because that's where he was born.

Buying a dog primarily for looks is liking buying a trophy spouse; increased chance of potential complications.

I'm immediately struck by two things:
  1. The power:weight ratio of modern hobbyist RC is insane. Those rigs look like they can easily flip on acceleration.
  2. Seems like they're controlling the roll mid-jump with strategic blipping of the throttle
