I’ve just spent an hour writting a great post and just before I was about to post it my XP machine, for no reason at all, just totally hung. The damn thing hasn’t needed a reboot for about a month and when does it decide to act up? Just when I was feeling ok that I stayed back at work late on a Friday to write a post, that’s when.

So in the interest of me getting home quickly some nice Friday links with a little explanation…

Big Love…

Hugh MacLeod has been busy traveling around the UK doing a special Valentine’s day promotion for Stormhoek wine. He’s got a video camera and an editor with him and releasing small shorts as he travels around. I met Hugh a few weeks ago and he’s an awesome guy. If you are only going to read one thing of his read his piece on How to be Creative.

What is the web? Why is it so cool?

It’s weird that when you are so deeply involved in something for a number of years, something you think is great and wonderful, but it’s so big and complex that you don’t really understand entirely why its so cool…you just kind of do.

Then someone makes a video clip like that which takes all the loose ends that have been swishing around in your head all this time and pulls them together, and everything just becomes clear and lucid again.

I love the web and I love moving images.

Another magic video

I got a similar feeling when Toby Harris first showed me this video edit of the first Avit VJ Festival back in 2002. This was when I first started to understand the power of the web. It might take a while to download but its worth waiting for.

Toby (*Spark) is currently involved in some really incredible projects. Watch this space.
