Sometimes we all need to experience beautiful things to feel alive. That's how I feel when I watch American Beauty and see the bag that Ricky Fitz videotapes, that's how I feel when I step on fallen leaves in October, that's how I feel when I see a lone flower blooming in an unlikely place. I've come across a couple of internet things that make me feel just that way... the first is an advertisement yes, but there is something amazing about releasing 300,000 bouncy balls in the streets of San Francisco that is just beautiful. That and I really like the song. So here ya go... Bouncy Balls! I suggest if you have high speed internet to watch the full 180 second one cause its just cool.

I was also introduced to LED throwies which you can make yourself. My friend Drew thinks that attaching them to a building on campus would be absolutely amazing to which I said "Why am I not in Champaign?" The video for people putting these up is slightly less cool, but happens to use the same song that the ad does. And just the concept of attaching LED lights to random buildings is fascinating to me and really makes me think beauty is something that can be found in anything. The concept of lighting a building with LED lights is just fantastic. The brilliant ideas of my friends with this are to use that in worship among other things. How cool would that be? Endless possibilities.
