I always liked short films because they are a rare art form. It really takes some skill to get a message across in a short amount of time. Recently I found an awesome short about Schizophrenia. This film gives us a short glimpse of what an insane person might experience. I think its in French(with English subtitles), but that just proves how good it is.

Awesome 3D simulations

Found a really entertaining website by Peter Blaškovič. He is some graphic designer/ 3D animator. His site has some  some cool things to mess around with.  And the best part is that they are all based on mathematical algorithms, therefore proving that math is cool.



Here are my favorites:
Flame
Fluid Fire3
Fluid Painter
Fluid Water

The Shepherds' Conference 2010

The Shepherds' Conference is here again. Once again they will be streaming it live, starts on March 3rd, 2010 at 10 AM. You can also listen to the conference in Russian or Spanish. I'll be watching at least while I'm not in school. Keep the men at this conference in your prayers. Shepherds' influences many pastors who go home to influence many sheep.

Grooveshark: best internet radio since Pandora

For a long time I have used Pandora to listen to music that I don't own. There are some things about Pandora that have simply annoyed me over the years. Recently I started using Grooveshark to listen to music, and it's just great. So I wanted to share some thoughts about each site.

Grooveshark:
-No annoying commercials :D (just a simple image at the side of the screen, most of the time I don't even notice it since I usually play music in the background).
-Rewind and Fast-forward songs!
-Play any song as many times as you want.
-Make custom playlists of songs you like.
-Search and play specific songs.
-Play songs that are "like" the songs in your playlist (like on pandora).
-Upload songs that you have, so you can listen to them anywhere you have internet.
-Its free, with no limit on how much you listen

It would only be fair to note that I still use both, just for different purposes. When I want to discover music or just play it as radio I would choose Pandora. But to listen to songs I like in the order I like, or to repeat a song I like (like one I just heard on pandora). I'll use Groveshark.

Anyways check it out if you have not used it yet.
