A beautiful and mesmerizing video of the Kuroshio Sea exhibit at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan, shot by Jon Rawlinson and set to the song “Please Don’t Go” by Barcelona. It’s well worth checking out on full screen in HD.

Vertical courtyard garden
July 12, 2009 by jeffbowersThose flower pots on the wall make for a neat look, but they must be hell to keep watered. Maybe the ladies are resting after completing that chore. Photo origin unknown. UPDATE: Helpful folks at Growing on the Edge tell me that the photo is likely from Cordoba, Spain, where the locals hold an annual patio contest.

Walkman vs. iPod
July 7, 2009 by jeffbowersA precocious 13-year-old reviews a Walkman, a device he’s never encountered before, for the BBC:
From a practical point of view, the Walkman is rather cumbersome, and it is certainly not pocket-sized, unless you have large pockets. It comes with a handy belt clip screwed on to the back, yet the weight of the unit is enough to haul down a low-slung pair of combats.
Incidentally, reviewer Scott Campbell also co-edits this news site.
