"Chasing Ice"

Someone recently sent me a link to this video, and I absolutely loved it. It contains some amazing footage of a huge glacier calving in Greenland. Truly epic. Enjoy!

Giant Squid Caught on Video!

Human history is filled with stories about fanciful ocean creatures that reach out of the deep to consume entire ships and drag sailors to their watery graves. Over the years, scientists have developed theories based on scant evidence that "giant squid" truly do exist ... living at extreme depths, sporting tentacles spreading wide enough to grab large buildings, and feeding on some of the largest mammals on the planet. However, no one has ever seen a giant squid alive in its natural environment. Until now.

A few months ago, an expedition funded by NHK TV in Japan set out to find these elusive predators. Several of our friends were involved in the project, most of them piloting the submarines carrying the scientists and filmmakers. They ultimately succeeded in their mission, and their story will soon be told to the world. Here is a video trailer previewing their amazing discovery.

Apollo Robbins

I love watching magicians, especially innovative ones. I recently came across someone who is certainly on the verge of becoming even more widely known than he already is. Apollo Robbins takes his skills as a pick-pocket to a new level as a stage performer and security consultant. His is a fascinating story, and he is truly incredible to watch, so ... enjoy!

Black Marble

In an earlier post, I wrote about an updated image of Earth reminiscent of NASA's original Blue Marble. Now NASA has gone one step further, compiling images of our planet AT NIGHT ... hence the name, Black Marble.
