Video: Jamie Oliver on children and food

KIrsty and I are big on eating good food and having a good knowledge of the food that we eat.

This is partly due to a recent inspiration I have felt from Jamie Oliver. I pretty much love everything he does, mostly because his attitude to food does not associate all the pomp and ridiculousness that others do. Yes, I hate Masterchef.

Recently I have discovered the need for using facts to influence my decisions.

This video influenced me, watch it.

Video: What do you pray for?

I find videos really helpful. I love what you can learn from a video. You can get alot of information across in a short amount of time.

I’m a Christian, and I like to pray to God. I believe that because of Jesus, I can now pray to God like he is my father. This video was shown at the end of Hungry Beast this past wednesday night. It is asking the question, “What do you pray for?”.

I really liked it, I hope you do too.

Video: When did you last cry?

Crying is a powerful thing. It can convey joy, heartache and sadness. You might cry alot, you might cry a little. But in your life, there will probably be a time when you cry about something.

Most of my crying has been done though listening to people tell me about the difficulties and injustice that they have experienced. Ive also cried about hearing good news. Day I married Kirsty was such a happy and joyous day that I almost cried. And every time my sister comes home for holidays, I’m so happy to see her, I tear up a little bit.

I also cried once at the end of The Chipmunk Adventure. Mostly because I didn’t want it to end, but also because I was only 4 years old.

Watch this video, it’s about crying.

The Beast File: Apple

I love stuff apple make. My MacBook and iPhone have made my communication much easier that it would of been without them. It also means that I’m on twitter and facebook more than I should. I love apple because they make software that is really easy to use, and they also make hardware that looks quite nice.

Hungry Beast recently did a Beast File on apple, and I found it to be interesting, so I thought I would share it with you. Enjoy.

The Crisis of Credit Visualized

Continuing in the theme of cool videos this week, I thought I would post something that is mildly educational. Unless you have been living on mars for the last few years, you would know that the world has had a bit of a crisis with its money. And if you are anything like me, you don’t really understand how it all happened. Well this neat video should explain everything to you.

The Beast File: Google

I’m on holidays this week, so I’ve been having a little down time. This also means that i spend alot of my time on the web looking for cool things to watch.

Motion graphics are especially good for passing the time, and there is usually heaps of that out there to look at. Sites like motionographer.com and Vimeo are great ‘one stop shops’ for really well done videos. But the video below comes from a little closer to home.

On the ABC 2 years ago a great show started up. It is called Hungry Beast and it was started to give a group of budding journos and graphic design freaks, free reign over creating a show that people would like. Well I really like it, and this is one of my favourite videos they have produced. It’s about google, enjoy!
