UN Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson recently gave a great speech on feminism. I found it via The Huffington Post. It is definitely worth you time.

Leopard Kill
Great video of a leopard leaping from a tree to make a kill.
Leopard Attack: Leopard Jumps From Tall Tree to Ambush Impala
As usual, I'm having trouble getting ABC-linked clips to embed, so follow the link above if you can't see the video.
Addition: If you want to skip the kill and just see photographs of the cat, start at the 1:20 mark in the video.

Goodbye Jeter
Not being a life-long Red Sox fan, I don't have the preternatural hatred of the Yankees that, say, my wife does. Regardless of your feelings on the Yankees, every baseball fan should appreciate Derek Jeter's accomplishments and the way he ended his career in his home stadium.

"We All Fall Down"
The folks who know me best know that I am a huge fan of Shawn Colvin. Prior to meeting my wife, I always attended her concerts alone. They were almost a religious experience that I didn't want to share with anyone else. And while I always eagerly awaited a new, all-to-rare album, the first times listening to those albums were often disappointing. It was almost as if I was saying to myself that the new simply cannot match the old. Perhaps this is true. And yet without deviation over time -- short or long -- I've come to love each and every Colvin album. (Well, so far except the Lullaby album. I have only ever give that album one listen.) It has been at least six month, probably more, since I last listened to her latest album and today while searching for any upcoming Colvin shows in our area, I was greeted by her video for We All Fall Down. The video itself is classic, charming, weird Colvin. I'll throw that album on this weekend. And who knows, maybe at some point I'll listen to Lullaby a second time.
And also, Arrrrrrgggghhhhhh!

Abbey Road Live
Apparently, there is a camera running 24-hours a day on the crosswalk made famous by the Beatles. Who knew? If you watch it long enough, you'll probably see folks acting out the album cover!

Lupita Nyong'o on Sesame Street
The ever-lovely and charming Lupita Nyong'o paid a visit to Sesame Street to talk about skin with Elmo.
If you missed my previous post involving Ms. Nyong'o last March, you can find it here. That video is worth your time, too.

Rafael Mantesso & Jimmy Choo
Brazilian illustrator Rafael Mantesso has created wonderful little bits of joy using his drawing skills and photographs of his bull terrier Jimmy Choo. I dare you not to smile!
