Neil Gaiman's Inspiring Commencement Speech

My favourite writer encourages us to make good art.

Dogs, and OK Go

Every time I see a new one of their videos I think, ah, now that's my new favourite. The treadmills were enough amazing for a lifetime, but they still keep outdoing themselves. The outtakes also prove that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing it wrong once or twice then better a million times over, just like my martial arts instructor told me.

Grateful for colour

and OKGo too

Worldwide wonderful

So so glad that the intertubes was invented, and brings us communications from around the world. So so glad that motion picture cameras and sound recording technology exists, and captures moments and notions that would otherwise be difficult to share everywhere. So so glad that human beings can harbour such talent and bring us such inspiration to others, just by being awesome and letting it flow out there. So so glad that I'm in my jarmies near a heater, thinking all these tiny thoughts in such a giant world. Also, thank goodness that such talented spirits can also have a cheeky sense of humour and make me laugh with shared fun instead of cry with envy!
