Fun: Kermit explains visual thinking
In this vintage Muppets clip Kermit and Grump are playing around with visual thinking. It’s a remake of the original black & white version with Kermit and Harry the Hipster. Kind of funny how the language of Kermit has changed since the 70s.
Have fun.

Games: Hitchhicker’s Guide to the Galaxy
If you enjoyed the Movie Hitchhicker’s Guide to the Galaxy then you will like this game. It is based on the classic text-adventure from Douglas Adams enhanced with some graphics and can be played entirely online at the BBC web site.
If you remember the old version, well this might also be a possibility to show your kids the kind of games you played when you’ve been their age.
Hint: The BBC shop still sells DVDs from their legendary series…

How-to create an edible Martini
With these Martinis its not about shaken or stirred. And the process is more elaborate than putting a bottle with Vermouth aside a glass filled with gin. You will need a vacuum machine one of those that are normally used to seal things for either cooking or preservation (we’re sure industry grade ones might work as well). So if your well sorted kitchen includes one of those devices or your friendly two star Michelin neighborhood restaurant will let you use theirs, well here’s a video that shows you how to put the pieces together.
In the video chef Dave Arnold…

Time-Warp: Back to the 60s
This is definitely a great presentation of the sixties - one you should not miss.
While some of the good things from that time seem to be still going strong (forgive us, just back from driving with a Ford Mustang up to Big Sur from L.A. and over to Zabriskie Point) again others things we hoped that won’t come back are back with a vengeance or are already being seen lurking just around the corner (think war, assassinations, Manchurian candidates, surveillance etc.)
BTW, today Polariod stopped supplying their color film prints (mentioned in the image below).
Anyway have a look - to find out how your daddy ticks…

Video: Hokusai An Animated Sketchbook
Most westerners will only know one of Katsushika Hokusai’s print work - the wave or “In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast at Kanagawa” (that’s the full title of this woodblock print)
This “short film” animates some of his work and introduces you to the life of this great Japanese artist. Animation designer Tony White created this video 30 years ago - it won him the British Academy Award for Best Short Factual Film - and it’s still an outstanding piece of animation…
