Everyone’s favorite muppets perform Bohemian Rhapsody. So great!
I randomly came across The Gooch from Scrubs in her musical duo Garfunkel & Oates. You can download their songs or watch their videos at their web site. Funny girls.
My favs are:

My mom was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor and is freaking out, rightfully so. But after the initial freak out; fact is you have to figure out how to deal with the hand dealt to you. It reminds me of a poem my parents had framed in their study long ago. The gist:
10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.
While combing through the thousands of links I have acquired over the years, I just happened to pull up this video of the Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. He was given months to live yet had the most wonderful outlook on his life. My mom’s prognosis looks really good; they caught the tumor in an early stage. But it’s still a good reminder of how precious life is and how wasteful not to enjoy it.
Full Lecture:
Much shorter reprised version on Oprah; still good but the full lecture above is worth watching:

This artist uses time lapse, tilt-shift and some post editing trickery to make an amazing effect of a miniature world.
I was really nervous for the little man at first!
