This morning’s uninspiring sunrise in Chicago’s Near North Side. The sky’s not great, but I love watching the lights flick on.

This Microsoft “Vision” video keeps popping up on my radar. It demonstrates great imagination, then executes it beautifully.
The irony I can’t ignore is that it was produced by a company that traditionally does neither. One time in 1985, Microsoft revolutionized the way we use computers by releasing Windows. Since then, its products have revolutionized productivity much in the way a whisk revolutionizes eggs. There’s probably a better way and this method kind of hurts my elbow, but we already bought 200,000 whisks, so keep at it. Tilt the bowl a bit. There you go.
Indeed, this is an exciting time for people and computers getting along*. But I’d hardly consider Microsoft to be a major player. True, they’ve been developing a coffee-table sized iPad for a few years now, but I don’t envision letting my kids do school projects on a piece of furniture worth more than my car.
Anyway. Cool video.
*If you were unaware of this, try Evernote, Dropbox, Google Docs, or one of those talky things from the garage guy in California.

This video made me do that laugh where no sound comes out, but your mouth is open as far as it’ll go and your eyes are shut and your nose dances a bit because your nostrils are flaring so fast.
Then I started crying big fat tears and wanted to puke a little.
Enjoy.

First, Happy Friday.
Next, I know I’m like, ten years late to the Minus the Bear thing. But as usual, I’m OK with that, and this video is really, really, cool. Terrific song as well, IMO.
