Galaxy Song - Monty Python Live in O2 Arena.
I was going to write a Facebook post about how absurd it all seems to
me, that we live on a big rock, rotating at 1037 miles an hour (less
as you move away from the equator), going around the Sun at 67,000
MPH, and moving around the galaxy at unfathomable speed, and all of
this is like a grain of sand on the beach of an immense cosmic ocean
that is forever expanding at an ever accelerating rate.
However, this video expresses it much better:

How Bill Gate Made Microsoft
Not sure if you would like this or not. The documentary is about 18 years old. So it is a little out of date. Much of the information is available in other places. Nevertheless, I found it pretty interesting, but these kinds of things always interest me.

This Is How The Chinese See America
P.S. The movie "Take Shelter" is on its way from Netflix. I'm looking forward to seeing this.

The Rise and Fall of Peter Molyneux
This 4 and 1/2 part video is over 3 hours long. Still, I found it very fascinating. I just kept watching one part after another.
It just shows how difficult the game business is.
I think that Peter Molyneux's problem is that he tried to design games while he wrote them. He seemed to start games without a clear idea where he was going.

Solving Traffic
Got into some serious traffic problems in Greenwood today, including passing an accident that slowed traffic to a crawl.
There is a Diverging Diamond Interchange in Greenwood close to where I live. I like it, and and I like Traffic Circles (roundabouts) because they are more efficient.
I saw Ramp Meters in Salt Lake City and Chicago, and I always hated them because they make you wait to get on the highway, but perhaps they help traffic.

Monetary System
I understood the general idea, but this video presents it with greater clarity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23DNe0cJhcU
