LETTERS FROM A MENTALIST
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
A fantastic example of kinetic typography using Steven Fry's wonderful essay on language. And I'm excited to share it here - with you - bringing a nice texture & growth to the nature of this blog.
If you like what you hear, you can download the rest of the audio file from Fry's website at StephenFry.com. Go to the audio/video section and locate the file entitled Language.
MUSIC AND PASSION
I've expressed my affection for classical music before, but will admit an exaggeration of interest. A slightly pretentious choice, I do realize. I only listened because sometimes I would sink into it, though secretly never enjoyed it with the same passion I hold for the Blues. At least not until I stumbled upon this speech given at TED. It truly inspired my honest interest and growing passion for Classical music, evoking a wondrous new feeling! However I still reserve late nights for the Blues and a beer, but Classical music has a new place in my affections. Benjamin has inspired a fire inside of me, and has tickled my itch for the ivory keys.
Watch the video when you have some free time to really listen, and I can promise your enlightenment. let Benjamin Zander take you into his world and come out of it on one buttock (you'll see)
