Being the occasionally petulant type, I could not help putting this video on, loud, as my mother was trying to listen to Sara Palin's perspective on the DNC. I walked out of the room and let it play. She never was a fan of Jimi.  And I seem to only be able to combat political puffery with the outdated stories of talented dead people and references to particle physics.

It comes by way of openculture.com which presently has videos of Charles Bukowski, a rare photo of Emily Dickinson, David Byrne's new music effort, and an explanation of the Higgs Boson by a real scientist. A particularly good day in my media landscape. Thanks internet. Sorry mom.
