Sun Bear

My favorite bear is the Sun Bear, the smallest of all bears. She gets her name from the golden-colored crescent on her chest. The Sun Bear does not hibernate, just like us. Read more about her at Scienceray.























Also, Kay is my Sun Bear because she has blonde hair now.

Very Very Interesting

Physicist Richard Feynman talks about the Pleasure of Finding Things Out. If you have 50 minutes free, this is one of the best possible ways to spend them. He's a brilliant scientist, a great storyteller, and simply a genuine human being who is curious about the world.

The Hidden Lands Vocal Studio

After Christmas, Jon and Wesley and their whole family went to some islands and asked Kay to watch the house, and Fluffy, who was feeling under the weather. This is where we recorded vocals for Hidden Lands.

The Known Universe

Fly through the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe. We've all seen video dramatizations of outer space, but never on this incredible scale. Everything here is real data from the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. Watch it full-screen in HD, and your life will be changed.

The 60s Film Look: Goldfinger (1964)

To keep it as simple as possible, but not simpler: Sean Connery was the best 007, and Goldfinger is the best Bond flick.

I had the driving scenes in Switzerland on screen while I was mixing Hidden Lands, so that's what the music looks like to me...
















More snapshots after the break...
