Things I love Tuesday;
Jun 11, 2012 by Sushi Bird
Here are a tiny tidbit of amazing things I have found around the internet lately. This weeks links are mostly documentary and/or science-based, but a couple of self-help and coffee-links are also included. Enjoy!
- Incredibly entertaining documentary called “I Won University Challenge“. Smart people who have won the UK game show University Challenge. A collection of very special individuals.
- TED-talk: “Hans Rosling had a question: Do some religions have a higher birth rate than others — and how does this affect global population growth?”
- OMG! BBC put out the entire series “Life of birds” in 10 parts with commentary by David Attenborough on Youtube. Bliss!
- “The Cannibal That Walked Free” Documentary about the Japanese cannibal Sagawa Issei. Worth the watch if you can stomach it.
- 日本に住んでいる人: The Norwegian coffee shop Fuglen has opened up in Shibuya, Tokyo! I am heading there sometime this week to check it out. I hope the coffee is the same standard as they serve in Norway.
- Since we are on the topic of coffee – coffee drinkers might live longer.
- “Starting interesting things is a worthwhile trait, but perhaps a more important one is finishing those things.” Scott H. Young wrote about “Just finish it.”
- Short and sweet on wikipedia about Japanese aizuchi, the frequent interjections during a conversation that indicate the listener is paying attention.
- 30 things to start and stop doing to yourself.
- Ukens norske lenke: “Mytene om Japan” – bra artikkel om Japan i Aftenposten Innsikt.
a few weeks ago, a student of mine showed me some of the photos sagawa issei took to document the murder, but after having seen them, i don’t think i could deal with a video, hehe.
such a great set of links! i look forward to watching the bird doc! and i’m loving your recent photography posts — so beautiful!
Oh god, I am not sure I would want to see those photographs ever. The documentary was not that graphic, but just seeing the interviews gave me a the chills.
The bird documentaries are absolutely gorgeous. I am generally not a huge huge fan of nature documentaries, but this series was just completely stunning.
癒しの写真ばかりで感動しました。ありがとうございます。
写真は好きでFACEBOOKに載せています。これからも素敵な写真を楽しみにしています。
コメントは本当にありがとうございます！嬉しいです！
I am sure the Fuglen concept will work wonderfully in Japan. I go there every once in a while and feel my muscles unknit…
I had the privilege of seeing Hans Rossling live onstage a year ago. It was one of the most interesting/ hilarious lectures I’ve seen in my life. the guy is a mad genius!
You always amaze me! You have seen Rossling live! Where in the world did you listen to his lecture? And completely unrelated – are you planning on going on a trip/returning to China/Taiwan in the future?
Åh, ett norsk café, måste besökas 🙂 du vill inte gå dit tillsammans? 🙂
Ja! Jeg vil veldig gjerne gå dit! Jeg har ikke rukket å fått besøkt Fuglen enda, men håper jeg skal få tid i løpet av uken. Jeg må bare finne adressen på googlemaps først – jeg pleier ikke dra til Shibuya så ofte.
