Gabe Askew's Astonishing CGI Music Video to Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks"

I can't believe one animator created this amazing MTV-level music video. Watch this, you will never forget it:

Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear from Gabe Askew on Vimeo.

OK, so many levels: How can one man invest so much work into one work of art? How can one man have inside his head this level of creativity and beauty? It took me several minutes before I realized it was CGI and not actual cutouts.

Small Publishers Finding Success--Sierra Mountain Times

I just ran across a web site called Sierra Mountain Times, http://mysierramountaintimes.com/ , which puts in large letters just below its flag, this slogan (on every page):

180,000 Hits a Month * Over 8,000 Unique Visitors Every Month!

Nice, for what appears upon examination to be an elaborated blog, run by four people, with a two-page classifieds section, up in the Twain-Harte area!

It's the Web site for a print giveaway of the same name, whose flag includes the price per copy: "Priceless!"

Too cute!
