Lately it has been my passion to really try to get out and travel as much as I possibly can. I’ve actually been considering a long backpacking trip in the middle east and end somewhere in Asia be it India or Thailand. Watching this really beautiful video of Egypt and all of its ruins makes me want to leave on my trip as soon as possible. Although there is much left, I’m only at the stage of brainstorming and seeking information I have been moved and motivated on my travel idea.

It seems like lately I’ve found Vimeo to the home of most of my entertainment seeing that the videos found on the site have far better quality than the videos found on Youtube. Aside from that I have found many gorgeous travel videos from a span of various places across the world.

Ever since Canon showed off some of the sample videos recorded on the 5D Mark 2 camera I fell in love. The quality and clarity is amazing. This video was recorded in Japan in Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. This Aquarium has one of the worlds largest tanks, holding whale sharks and various other rare sea species. Seeing that one of my friends is going to be studying Marine Biology and watching this video I begin to understand what she finds so fascinating about sea life.

It’s best if you watch it in HD on full screen mode to really appreciate it:

I was browsing twitter today and came across Kevin Rose’s post of this video and just found it awesome and hilarious all at the same time.

Joost Retro Cartoons

Watching the Hulu commericial from last nights Superbowl game I was reminded of their counter service Joost. So I decided to revisit the site and see what shows are available on their site, and was surprised and glad to see them have some nice classic cartoons. This brings me back to the days where I would look forward to waking up early on saturday mornings to watch a nice long line up of cartoons, and pissing my parents off from waking them up so damn early and putting the T.V on blast.

Though its been around seven months since my trip to Japan I still talk excitedly about it and share various observations with friends and coworkers. Here’s a little video I came across while browsing around my profile on vimeo.
