A View of Earth from Above

A group of astronauts created this video by putting together a time lapse of the pictures they took while circling the earth from space. It shows everyone who isn't able to afford a trip to space what our planet actually looks like from afar.
Videos like this one always seem to interest me because of the mystique that our galaxy holds for me. This videos holds me true to that statement because of how beautifully it is done. The chance for people to get a view of our planet from above the ground doesn't come around all that often so when videos like this pop up everyone should check it out. I'm looking forward to videos like these one being done for many other planets which hopefully someday includes Mars.

This is the logo that is used for the group that I am a part of. I choose to do it this for my website because it will be a lot easier for me to work on a project that I have an interest in creating.

Mama Economy! Make Me Understand It!

The Economy Explained in Song

With the crazy success "Chocolate Rain" experienced Tay Zonday has now found his calling in creating songs that entertain his huge web audience. He does so again here with a song fully explaining the current economic crisis. It's a song that, in all seriousness, should be shown in every economics class around the nation.
Although some parts seemed to be rushed and now fully thought out I give him the benefit of the doubt on this song. It's a crash course on why the economy is doing so poorly in the United States. I'm not sure if it is the way my generation has grown up but I feel as though I have just learned more about our economic settings during this brief four minute video then I have in almost two years of economic lectures and exams.
