This is quite simply my favorite video of 2009 (even though its from 2008).  It’s not overly stylized and the music is on point.  It’s both emotional and exciting.  I absolutely love it.  

The convergence of technology and the human experience is evolving so rapidly its almost impossible to keep up with – and the advent of multi-touch is no different.  At this point we’ve all played with, owned, or pined for an iPhone.  It has fundamentally changed the way we communicate and intereact with people and information.  We now know how intuitive things are when you reach out and touch them with your fingers.  

There are people working tirelessly to bring these technologies to the market in meaningful ways.  I can’t wait to see more of this in my everday life.

The next decade is going to be a damn exciting one…

(Sidenote: cheers to Red Bull for continuing to redefine what a brand can represent.  Their core product is a drink that loads you up with energy, yet the brand represents empowerment, innovation, and pushing .  Not to mention hell raising double backflips on motorcycles.)

Each day, people are faced with difficulties far greater than you or I.  The truly great not only rise above their circumstances, but have the heart and courage to lift someone else up with them.  Congrats to Don Meyer for doing just that.
