And the winner is…

by | Monday, February 25, 2008

The Oscars got one thing right tonight: Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for the song, Falling Slowly from the movie Once. I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago, during my trip to New Orleans, and loved every moment of it. I heard that they had been nominated for best song (or whatever the technical term was for the category) and I was rooting for them… and checking the CNN website a few minutes ago discovered that they had won!

Here are some YouTube clips to remember the moment.

Watch them perform at the Oscars, once, Falling Slowly from Once:

… and finally, the the Oscar acceptance speech, once, and then … as it turns out once again!

Twittering a tale

Sep 1, 2008

My favorite short short story is by Hemmingway. It is all of six words long - but boy, does it pack a punch. It goes, "For sale, baby shoes, never used." Wow! It turns out that such short stories are not merely a novelty. The advent of Twitter and microblogging, with...

Undo & the the progress of technology

Sep 6, 2008

I have wondered what it would be like if life had an undo button, and what we would do without all this cool technology we have? I guess this is what happens when we use technology for too many hours a day. I was reminded of this when I Stumbled-Upon this online comic...
