Henri reacts to his award

That I have received this golden, smiling idol for a film documenting my metaphysical torment speaks volumes about the spiritual void of humanity. Shiny and meaningless, life marches on.

Henri the cat, as reported by his owner, filmmaker Will Braden. Braden’s film “Henri 2: Paw de Deux,” won the first Internet Cat Video Film Festival in 2012. (via Quotation of the Day Mailing List)

Amazing space shuttle launch

Check out the video below. Watch full screen and set for 1080 resolution. As good as the video is, it is the audio of this launch that is amazing. Ideally plug in some headphones and crank up the volume or push the audio through a surround system. Totally terrific.
