Gettysburgh - the PowerPoint

This is really funny.  Especially read the commentary by the author under "the making of" at the bottom of the homepage.

Stumbled across this online:

Location for Mom's 80th birthday?

El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near lora in Malaga , Spain . The walkway has gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is only one meter in width, and over a 700-meter fall, and over time it has also lost its handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.
The view and the music are almost like being in a video game...very cool!Oh yes... once you get to the website and click the 'Play' button - you must go full screen!! (see example below)

Dark Side of the Moon Video Album

These are 5 videos a guy posted for the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album. He constructed the video mostly from footage from a movie Jeremy clued me in on years ago called Koyaanisqaatsi (native indian for "World Out of Balance") and concert footage of Pink Floyd.

The most haunting part of this is unfortunately split between the end of Part 2 and the beginning of Part 3 -- it's footage of The Challenger exploding in 1986, in conjunction with "The Great Gig In The Sky."

Enjoy.
