Duane Keiser's time-lapsed egg painting is not what you think: rather than showing a painting's creation from white space to finished painting, Keiser begins with a painting of an egg which he gradually repaints until the egg is fully broken. It's definitely best experienced visually — so give it a watch and see for yourself.

This is gorgeous. Since 22nd of July 2011 most of the articles about Norway have been about the terrible terrorism attack that took place at Oslo and Utoya. This video shows a quite different picture of Norway, the beautiful Hardanger Fjord in the Western part of the country. Take the time to honor the victims and the next of kin, and remember that Norway is still a strong (perhaps even stronger than before) democratic country, and that fact will never change.
