Magne and Linda's Wedding

Big Frank had the honor being best man for Magne and Linda's wedding yesterday.  It was held in a beautiful Norwegian chapel with a wonderful reception at the Clarke House on Hayden Lake.

Good YouTube Stuff

Big Frank, like most of you, from time to time reviews some YouTube stuff.  However, he hasn't really watched much other than funny videos or music videos.  There are lost of sites that comb through YouTube to give you the best of the best, and Big Frank is sharing a couple of the best of these best of the bests.

This first one is on the age old question can men and women be just friends.  Perhaps there was some editing done on this to give the appearance of the black and white response from those interviewed.  It doesn't make any difference.  It's a funny interview.



This next one is going to make you laugh.  It was filmed on a train in Berlin.  Laughter is contagious.

Looking outward or inward

Big Frank has been watching YouTube and has been struck by two different types of programs that do a good job of showing the preoccupations of people: on themselves and the outside world.  When you view the two in sequence the contrast is a stark one.  One sequence - the changing nature of my face, has a huge number of videos that you can watch.  These are essentially one person's face shown over the passage of time, just that one face day after day after day.  Contrast that with the changes that can be seen in nature.  Pay attention to how you feel when you watch these two kinds of videos and that difference in feelings tells you everything.

Here's an example of the first kind - one face, one picture taken every day for 3 years:




Next, and what a contrast, is some wonderful contrast is a video from the TED from Louie Schwartzberg on gratitude.  He is an award winning photographer whose film on the changes in nature are beautiful.  His presentation and film truly does lead to being more grateful for being here today.
