“Glad & Young” by Carly StipekThis video was produced, written, and directed by my good friend, Carly Stipek.The song in the background is called “Reverend Green” by Animal Collective, a whacky Indy Rock band from Baltimore. I got to know Carly while she was shooting footage for this video and it was incredible to observe how much dedication and charisma Carly could work into this glorious music video with a simple camera and a Mac. In my opinion, this the quintessence of how we can use media for good. In the process of making this video, Carly would simply ask different people in her surroundings (UMass, Amherst, Texas) if they would dance for her whether there was music or not, and as a result she made a bunch of new acquaintances in her different communities. She also created something organic and beautiful to look at while listening to something equally as beautiful in the background.Juan Enriquez:Beyond the crisis, mindboggling science and the arrival of Homo evolutis So my new thing is TED Talks . TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a four day conference that takes place annually. At the conference there are give or take fifty lecturers from all over the US who deliver lectures about whatever their specialty field may be and whatever their life’s work may consist of in 18 minutes or less. There are lectures on all kinds of subjects from Bread to Vagina Monologues.This site is an archive of about 200 TED Talks and they’re all delivered to the Internet audience under a Creative Commons (CC) License, which essentially means you can’t redistribute the video for profit or cut/edit it.The following video came into my life as a part of a creepy conversation I had about the future of mankind. This video’s about Juan Enriquez’s theory about the next step in human evolution that he labels as “Homo Evolutis.” Homo Evolutis is basically the enhanced android version of ourselves that we’ve been entertained with in movies like A.I. and Bicentennial Man.
