Due to popular demand (indeed, the clamor generated by my three loyal readers can truly be deafening, even in the annals of cyberspace), I'm posting links to some stuff that I've either seen, read, or simply enjoyed. If there's one thing my renewed experience with the power of the Web has taught me, it's that there's so much out there that we can find joy in. All we have to do is generate some pretty clever boolean expressions to create a search that is commensurate to our desire. Without further ado, here are some links that kept me company during the less eventful portions of my working day:
Here's an old classic that never fails to amuse. The clean visuals, the exceptional pacing, and the satisfying conclusion all lead to a delightful viewing experience. Revisit old childhood memories with Bambi, with the special participation of Godzilla.
This recalls the classic Kevin Kline retort from the movie The Emperor's Club: "...as the great wit Aristophanes once wrote, roughly translated, youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever. Stupid lasts forever.
Finally, here's some food for thought regarding both the wonder that is, and the peril that may be Wikipedia. Wiki it?
Enjoy!

- "Man is more himself, man is more manlike, when joy is the fundamental thing in him, and grief the superficial. Melancholy should be an innocent interlude, a tender and fugitive frame of mind; praise should be the permanent pulsation of the soul. Pessimism is at best an emotional half-holiday; joy is the uproarious labour by which all things live...Christianity satisfies suddenly and perfectly man's ancestral instinct for being the right way up; satisfies it supremely in this; that by its creed joy becomes something gigantic and sadness something special and small." I celebrate life. Do you?
