Wave Clouds
Although, the opening title doesn’t look like the best choice of font. The video footage compensates big time with time-lapse images of mainly San Francisco bay area during the summer time. I simply love how director Ben Williams captures cloud movement in such a way that it looks like waves, the ocean. Beautiful!

Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill
Back on this beautiful video produced and directed for "Harrowdown Hill" as part of the solo album of leader and singer of Radiohead: Thom Yorke. A video released in August 2006, directed by Chel White and studio Ben Image Lab. A very successful technique to discover afterwards.
Send to Posterous directly from Google Reader
Update: We've been added as an official site, so now it's even easier! You don't have to do the stuff below anymore.

We're big fans of Google Reader. It's one of the easiest ways to view everyone's stuff fast. Yesterday, Google Reader added a new Send To feature that lets you post to your favorite places right from Google Reader while you're looking at stuff.
By popular demand, now you can use this new Send To feature with Posterous. Go to Settings > Send To in Google Reader and under "Don't see your favorite site?" click Create Custom Link.
Then copy and paste the values below into the custom link fields:
| Name | |
| URL | |
| Icon URL |
It should look like this:
Click Save and you're done.
Now when browsing Google Reader, you'll see a "Send To" option for Posterous at the bottom of each reader entry like so:
When you click Posterous, you'll be sent to our "Share on Posterous" page that works like our Bookmarklet. We've also revamped the way the bookmarklet handles text posts so if you don't select any text on a page, we'll still try to extract the meatiest part of the content of a page.
Of course, you can always still just click "Email" to post@posterous.com, and that will still work just great too.
Feel free to email us at help@posterous.com if you run into any problems.
Michal Giedrojc – People
Michal Giedrojc is a very talented photographer from Slupsk, Poland. His portrait work has an Avedon-like ability to capture a fleeting glimpse into the true soul of a person. He has done a number of images which have a surreal, dream-like quality to them. However, his People series (pictured here) focuses on the face and expression.
The Lean Startup by @ericries (Web 2.0 Expo Talk + audio)
via slideshare.net
Wish I could have made it to this talk, but was too busy coding. However, thanks to the power of the Internets, we can timeshift it to... well, the weekend. ;-)
There's definitely something powerful in the approach. It feels more right than a build-it-and-they-will-come mentality. We're still learning too.
Want more on how to startup the right way? Eric Ries, Dave McClure, Andrew Chen, and Mike Speiser are some of the most prominent thought leaders of scientific / metrics-oriented startup approach.
Also, building the tech to track and make decisions like that is almost always custom rolled, which is just a development overhead that ideally could be avoided. Our friends at Mixpanel are working on that -- to help startups apply the same kind of metrics-oriented decision-making done at Slide for startups like yours and mine.
