Thanks ingot :)

 

Sometimes I don't watch these things because I think that I don't have the time to sit down for 10 or 20 minutes to watch them through. But often they give a perspective on life and what we're doing. Whenever I do go exploring these videos, I tend to find that I am glad that I have.

 

Thanks again for starting the thread and for taking the time to post them.

 

Cheers,

 

Perrin

Professional surfer Marti Paradisis won the Big Wave award in Sydney on 14th February, for this monster ride - 9 metres!

Marti got $AUD20,000 for a life-time, and 40 seconds work!

 

Keen surfies can read more about the event, off Tasmania's south coast - at Pedra Branca - here:

If you have 15 minutes today to enrich your life ... this is probably a good place to use that 15 minutes.

 

As it goes further, it gets better, but the finale is amazing.

 

Enjoy ...

This won't enrich your life, but it looks like fun. I stumbled across this while looking for something else... such is the joy of the internet.

 

This a shotgun for killing bugs... uses normal table salt. I tried to capture the video from their web site, but couldn't do it. There are videos on youtube also. Key search string: "bug-a-salt"

A nice antidote to the doom-and-gloomers.

 

Thank you.

From the fun ... to the important and the serious.

 

In my quest to leave this world in a far better state than I found it (but not going anywhere soon :) )

I invite you to first of all view the trailer of this movie.

 

If you already know what this is about, but have not had an opportunity to view the full movie, please set aside

an easy 2 hours, and watch ... listen ...hear ... and resolve to act in whatever way you can.

 

I do not regret giving up 2 hours to hear probably the most important message to meet my ears in 60+ years!

 

The Movie - An unconventional documentary that lifts

the veil on what's REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream -- uncovering the global

consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives. | Thrive

This lobbed into my Gmail box from Google:

 

Yonatan Zunger - who works at Google said :

 

"I have no idea why I find this clip so amusing, but I do.

Some students figured out how to have a staged rendition

of silent monks singing the Halleluia chorus from

Handel's Messiah. I particularly like the short one

on the far right."

 

It took me awhile, but I finally cracked and had to laugh at the antics!

 

Note the two hidden "monks" at positions #1 and #3 on the left :)

Just spent an amazing 12 minutes looking at "The Holtermann Collection" on the Australian ABC website.

 

It is extraordinary - not only for its revelation of early Australiana - historical documentation of life in the Australian Goldfields from 1862 to 1872+ ... it is extraordinary in that it has only now come to light after so many years in a back yard shed!

 

The Holtermann Collection consists of hundreds of glass photographic negatives that do not pixelate on magnification (ie a "zoom-in" view). Further, these glass negatives are virtually indestructible ... they will last for a very long time into the future.

 

Treat yourself to a journey back in time ... about 150 years back ... at the birth of a nation.

Enjoy!

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
