I love that DSLRs can now take beautiful short films like this.

On my “bucket list” (oh jesus I can’t believe I just used that term) is seeing the Iditarod — I’m hoping that at least some of my family comes with me. I’m reminded of this by today’s Big Picture, which features photographs of dog sledding competitions from around the world. Mush!

Via kottke, ThruYou is a series of songs and videos with YouTube videos as “tracks.” The songs themselves are less gimmicky than you’re thinking, and the videos are a joy to watch. (Kottke appropriately compares this to the work of Christian Marclay.)
