A frenetic PBS Digital Short video remix of the sights and sounds of Tokyo by the mighty Kutiman featuring (among many other things) a host of Japanese musicians including Nobumichi Tosa of art group Maywa Denki playing the Otamatone.

The *new* clip.

From Tuesday’s Tonight With Vincent Browne.

Feel the power, the passion, the conviction in Enda’s and Eamon’s speeches from the Senior Citizen’s Protest in 2008.

But that was then sure.

Then you may like this project called DART of Physics, led by Professor Shane Bergin, from the School of Physics and CRANN at Trinity College Dublin.

He and his team are giving online physics lessons for DART commuters.

This cannot end well.

They write:

“Over the course of eight weeks, starting on the 21st of October 2013, we’ll turn Dublin’s DART into our own laboratory and get the city thinking and talking about physics.”

“Discover and learn scientific concepts through tricky teasers, mind-melting facts and seemingly illogical questions that will be scattered throughout the DART. All you’ll have to do is look around you on your journey.”

“And if you want to know more, that’s what this website is for. Updated throughout the campaign, we’ll be blogging, responding to your questions and releasing interactive, illustrated stories that go deeper into the the lessons on the DART.”

“We promise you, this will not be the physics you avoided in school.”
