When Were You Young? by Trevor Ware captures some of the feeling of freedom and joy one experiences while riding a motorcycle around the country. All in all, Trevor took three years to ride around the US on his 1974 Honda CB550. Rather than settling into a job and mortgage, wife and kids, Trevor decided to really live and follow his dream while he was young. Having made my own 12,000 mile journey a few years ago (amongst other big Western US road trips over the years), this is a feeling that is near and dear to my heart. There is just nothing like traveling long distances on a motorcycle. You can also check out a ride report from a portion of his trip on his blog.

A narrated play-by-play animation of Curiosity’s entry, descent, and landing on Mars.

Recorded on the Pacific Crest Trail during the 2011 thu hiking season. 159 days, 1,700 miles hiked, and ninety pounds lost. Make sure you watch it all the way to the end.

This video works right up until the point where they show Google Music. The old players all look gorgeous, intuitive, and enjoyable to use. Google Music looks like a lot of clicking, scrolling, right-clicking, etc. It looks complicated and bland. Google should focus less on copying the style of Apple’s commercials and more on making their products fun and easy to use.

Admittedly, I haven’t checked out anything about Google Music beyond this video. Perhaps it actually is fun and intuitive.
