have you seen?
i'm lucky to come from a large
and unabashedly geeky extended family.
its traditional for us to stay in touch
by sending each other
manila envelopes full of clipping,
with no letter, but maybe a post-it
saying something like
"thought you might be interested..."
the uncle nicknamed "uncle fun"
(collects wind-up toys, introduced
us to the secret life of machines)
has kept up the tradition digitally,
sending me two great videos
in as many weeks,
luckily, both embeddable.
Have you seen the PythagoraSwitch video? It's twelve minutes of delightfully ingenious entertainment. "PythagoraSwitch" is a Japanese kids program. This video is a compilation of the Rube Goldberg machine type segways used during the show. The soundtrack is the show's theme song and the phrase they keep singing is Japanese for "PythagoraSwitch." I came across a couple recordings of the show on You Tube and found it clever and engaging -- it really challenges kids to see the world in different ways and to think logically and, at the same time, creatively.
Have you seen these amazing Windwalkers?
