Down Syndrome and Football Touchdown

So here's a video of a high school football game with an amazing touchdown by a kid with DS. (Okay, so it's not that amazing, but it is really, really cool.) The story is on FoxNews.

Watch the high def version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb_4f5nXZdA

OK Go

There's this group that decided they'd do a music video. The catch was, they'd do it all in one take. No cutting, stopping, splicing, etc. I think their first video used only one camera. Others mimicked it, and some did a really good job (utilizing more than one camera, but the motion was non-stop and in one take).

Well, this group, OK GO, has come out with a new one. It's heavy on the adopt a dog propaganda, but the dogs are CUTE!

Free music freely (and legally)

So for all of you classical music people out there (of which there are a great number, only a few who read my blog), this site will be very interesting to you:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/record-and-release-free-music-without-copyrights

It is set to release the Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, and Tchaikovsky symphonies for free, no copyright on the recordings, etc. What does this mean? Aren't these symphonies already free? Of course they are... if you have the money to buy the paper and print it out, or the money to take an orchestra wherever you go. But when you buy a recording on a CD, it is not free to put it into another work (such as a video or music of your own making). What this group is going to do is release the music free, gratis, no charge to use it however you like. Share it with friends, share it with enemies, share it on your website, in your theater, on your video.

So, anyway, I thought it was interesting
