Awesome! Didnt realise this wasn't here! But it's not terrible...it might be cheesy but not terrible (its big budget cheese I'll give you that!)

I likes me dimmu!

upvote to the sift!

also, the artist who did the visualisation for this album is Joachim Luetke, here is his website

"India has decided against getting involved in Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child scheme - which aims to provide kids in developing countries with a simple $100 machine.

The success of the project depends on support, and big orders, from governments. The loss of such a potentially huge, and relatively technically sophisticated market, will be a serious blow.

The Indian Ministry of Education dismissed the laptop as "pedagogically suspect". Education Secretary Sudeep Banerjee said: "We cannot visualise a situation for decades when we can go beyone the pilot stage. We need classrooms and teachers more urgently than fancy tools."

Banerjee said if money were available it would be better spent on existing education plans."

Arvana - can you seriously think this is all being done "not for profit" ? Maybe not for YOUR profit, but someone stands to make quite a large sum of money on the manufacturing, sales, implementation, etc. Amazing that these billion dollar companies want YOUR money to fund it...lol

Dag: "A concept visualisation of this graduation project at the Design Academy Eindhoven. An interactive seat which follows the user at the library." from YouTube description.

It's not real.

LOL i live how thay always represent string thery by stupid cgi of shiny bits of strings. although in some ways i think its good to visualise scince in an abstract mannor to get kids intrestead in it sometimes i think it might damage scince. and an image will set a pre conceptoin in sumones mind as to how something works. as string thery is still very young and lose it amuses me how manny people have tride to visualy represent it. u could probably represent it with annything realy as its so undeveloped.

Yeh, I think you can learn it a lot of ways, there are heaps of methods. I read/listened to instructional material in my 20s, but didn't really take it up as a regular practice until a few years ago.

We're pretty protective of our kids and wouldn't send them on any camp unless we knew exactly who was in charge, what the agenda was and were satisfied that it would be a safe, non-religious event, and even then, one of us would probably go along too, just to be sure.

I don't really think it's blatantly obvious from the video that it's aim is religious indoctrination.

Maybe for someone who's never been inside a meditation hall, the sight of a bunch of kids sitting in rows meditating looks scary, but that in itself is nothing harmful. It's what the instructors are saying to the kids that determines the aim of the centre, and since the video doesn't include much dialogue, that's hard to say.

Our guys have done some meditation as part of a kid's yoga class and they loved it.

When they can't get to sleep at night, because they're so wound up by the day's events, I put on a guided visualisation CD for them and they're relaxed and asleep in no time.

actualy something like this could be developed and would help people who have a more visual ore abstract visual minds to visualise complex processes and activities going on within a computer. it would evan enable sumone to rmeber very specific informatoin about a a file transfer that most people would find imposable to remeber. aditoinaly sumone would instantanously be able to visuslize if there was a problem and identify the exact rute of the problem very fast.

No way- When I go on a video hunt, I keep text files of'em- a queue of videos to queue. Most of my published vids I got in probably two or three hardcore sifting sessions, where I'll watch dozens and dozens of CRAP videos to try and find each sifted one.

I don't think it would be something I'd be interested in. I'm jealous of my finds, and I think that others would agree. There is a certain level of cooperation to be found on VS, but some competition too. Farhad, for example, finds stuff (shpongle, what) that kicks my butt, but I think I've found a few that he digs too. We cooperate on some level, but we're also looking for the best vids for our own.

That leads to another interesting dichotomy. I'll be the first to admit- some of my sifts are pure "this will get lots of votes" - anything with richard dawkins, my penn&teller, etc. But then there are videos that I don't expect to even make it out of the queue, but I sift anyway- stuff that I feel is culturally significant, interesting , cool, or important for other reasons. Sometimes just videos that I find hilarious for my own reasons.
And so we have this dichotomy: On the one hand, anybody could post the daily show and get votes, but on the other, it's good to find quality content that would normally be missed.

To me, it is the mix of these elements that makes VideoSift strong- the "hot clips" that everybody on the internet has seen, along with the neglected super-cool "elite" gems that get passed over elsewhere.

So maybe you want to share your finds, but I'm keeping my hand close to my chest. They are my finds- and I'll sift them when my queue has room.

Yes, it's me. The tricky bit is explaining how I do it. Err, it's to do with visualising the pattern of the circles coming together and moving apart rather than focusing on the motion of each circle separately.

ingenious visualisation.
