James Victore

I'm a huge fan of James Victore; he's one of my favorite people on the Internet. He's an awesome designer and teacher. Whenever I feel uninspired or stuck in a rut, I go to his Youtube channel and browse his videos. He gives great advice. He's witty and clever. He's awesome.
I was excited when I saw he's featured on The Great Discontent this week, you should take a few minutes of your time, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the interview; it's fantastic!

P.S. You should follow him on Twitter, for inspiring and/or funny tidbits.

Homegrown Swedes

Swedish Pancakes with Wild Strawberries from Homegrown Swedes on Vimeo.

I could spend the whole day watching these darling videos by Homegrown Swedes. Beautifully shot, with abundant natural light, their videos celebrate the making of things: cooking, building, drawing and more.
My personal favorite is this video above: Swedish Pancakes!

Paris, the City of Light

PARIS, THE CITY OF LIGHT (FULL LENGTH HD VERSION) from Trak on Vimeo.


"Paris, City of Light doesn't mean "the city with a lot of beautiful lights" but, rather, "the city where, during the eighteenth century, the lights of science (with the biologists like Buffon or Jussieu and with the encyclopedy writers like Diderot or d'Alembert) and the lights of philosophy (Voltaire, Rousseau, Condorcet, Montesquieu, ...) have been lit."


I've watched this video a few times already, and I thought I'd share it here. It's so beautiful and magical.

Directed by Benjamin Trancart.

Recette filmée - Fondants Chocolat from ))) datafone on Vimeo.

Lately, it seems to be an explosion of amazing food videos. This one captures the process of Fondant Chocolat; I could watch this all day long.

The Beatles

I could watch this performance by The Beatles a million times. Watch for my favorite parts at 1:15 and 1:50.  Do you have a favorite Beatle? Mine is Paul. :)
