I hate music videos. But this item from Shota kept me entertained. It is a music video for “Gold Tiger,” a song by a Tokyo-based trio, Mix Nuts House. In a way, it’s very sixties. Full screen and head phones recommended.

The flowers are nice, yes, but it is the green bush stems that some how leap to the fore in this image… for me anyway.
Saint Urho
Finland has been an item in the news lately as one of the blow-back consequences of Putin’s ill-considered adventure in Ukraine. But that’s not what this is about: We need to smile, at least. Voila! This video.
I stumbled upon this video about Saint Urho while visiting the blog of science fiction author Walter Jon Williams: “Here we have a history of Finland’s totally genuine fake hero, St. Urho. Who was born in a Minnesota town called Virginia.”
Totally true. Originally broadcast on PBS stations WDSE / WRPT.

Artists of the Wall, Year 2009
The “Artists of the Wall” is an annual event held in Chicago’s Loyola Park, usually in June, whereat members of the Rogers Park community decorate a 600 foot concrete retaining wall / park bench. While I’ve missed about half the years of this century so far, I’ve habitually taken photos of the work I like. The gallery below contains the photos that I like from the year 2009.
