In just over 10 minutes, the video manages to explain something very complex in pretty simple terms. Even I understood it (well, most of it…I think)!


The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo.

I saw this video and was interested in seeing more from the guy behind it, Jonathan Jarvis. Take a look at his other videos on Vimeo. I especially recommend his “Process as Drawing” series. Amazing!

I was sick of looking at the old version and wanted to beef up the site a little by making it a place to provide access to my presentations for OCC. I’m not sure yet what I’ll do with this site, but I might just keep both and use this for more personal, random stuff and use the other site for more professional stuff (including any web design work I do on the side).

Speaking of web design work on the side, I’m just finishing up with a website for my friend’s church. I write about the project at my other site, so that’s enough incentive to go over there and have a look, right? Ok, don’t answer that…

Yes, people, we still live in the past, daydreaming about the 46 defense, Walter, McMahon, Speedy Willie, mustached Matt Suhey, and yes, even Steve Fuller. We occasionally frequently break out into spontaneous renditions of the Super Bowl Shuffle when we’re alone in the car. We really do believe the Bears didn’t come “lookin’ for trouble.” We smile from ear to ear whenever we see an old clip of the Refrigerator Perry falling on top of someone/anyone! Ditka could end up being a mass murderer and we would still kinda believe that he can do no wrong. We believe that it is a crying shame that Richard Dent is not yet in the Hall of Fame! And, most of all, we refuse to believe that any team, especially any defense, can measure up to the ‘85 Bears. So who cares who wins the SuperBowl this year?!

And in case you all forgot who the ‘85 Bears were and what they accomplished, here ya go!

My favorite part: 2:30

Lots of people stopped what they were doing to watch. It was moving to see our community sharing this historical moment together at the library. Check it out…
