Just a quick blog post today with a couple of links I’d like you to look at – one especially, the others are merely cool and funny.
I’ll start with the important one though. I’d like you to look at this if you can spare 15mins. I’ve had a link to Christian Payne’s website over on the right (OurManInside) since I started this blog but I’ve never really talked about his photography or other activities. Now, however, he’d like to have more publicity for his latest project and I’m more than happy to oblige.
In mid-January 2008, with the support of the United Nations High Commission For Refugees (UNHCR), Christian travelled to Amman, Jordan to photography and record a few Iraqi refugee families trapped in a no-man’s land; asylum seekers, looking for refuge, too afraid to return to their blood-soaked country.
Please visit OURMANINSIDE.com and watch the video. It’s under 15mins long so you have no excuse, really. Watch it while eating a banana or a sandwich if you must.
Secondly, in a completely different train of thought. Pop over to Stephen Fry’s website and download his latest podgram. It’s about dancing and never before have I found myself listening to a podcast with such a degree of enthusiasm. I found myself agreeing with nearly everything he said about his detest for dancing. Listen to it, it’s utterly fabulous. A bit like Kate Beckinsale, but funnier – as far as I know. Does she dance or like dancing? Hmm.
Lastly for today, I Stumbled a fantastic website last night about temperature. It’s a sliding scale which takes you from absolute zero all the way up to planck temperature with information in between for varying temperatures. It’s entitled “A Sense of Scale” and can be found here.
Enjoy!
