The New Year’s Eve confetti in NYC is
literally made of people’s hopes and
dreams. The Times Square Visitor Center
wall is open year round for people to put
Post-Its up with their next-year’s wishes.
Those wishes are made into confetti,
and thousands of dreams flutter across
Times Square as the ball drops. Source
aladdin trivia: 5/12 “production designer richard vander wende devised a simple color scheme for the film, inspired by its desert setting. blue (water) stands for good, red (heat) for evil, and yellow (sand) is neutral. for example, the villainous jafar is clad in blacks and reds, while the virtuous jasmine wears blue. another example is in the cave of wonders, where the lamp’s chamber is blue, and the ruby that tempts abu is bright red.”
Today we learned that shooting slo-mo video from train traveling at speed in the opposite direction from a flock of birds in flight results in awesome footage that makes it appear as though the birds are frozen in time.
Redditor davihey captured this surreal footage using an iPhone 8 while riding a train from Orlando to Miami:
Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds salutes John Wells, an alternative energy and sustainability researcher located in the desert area of Terlingua in SW Texas. John set out a bucket of water with a GoPro in the bottom in order to see what sorts of animals would stop by for a drink.
“Everybody loves water in the desert. I was pleasantly surprised during the edit to see that George made an appearance. I know him from all the other rabbits because of the tiny notch in his ear. A burro just happened to come by in time to be included. Ben went against the script and decided to just nudge the bucket. You can lead a steer to water but you can’t make him drink. Note: The swimming bees were rescued.”
