Hindu Force: Dynamo's card tricks revealed

Here's Dynamo performing a card trick - very good!




Here's the explanation - he is using the Hindu Force.





Watch the Dynamo trick again. Look at 20 seconds - the 4 of Spades is at the top. At 25 seconds, he flips the top card over and puts it at the bottom...

He's an excellent performer...

Polyphasic sleep

Polyphasic sleep refers to the practice of sleeping multiple times in a 24-hour period—usually more than two, in contrast to biphasic sleep (twice per day) or monophasic sleep (once per day). Check this link for more information (see here).

And I bought a great book from the person who created the Uberman schedule. Check this link for the book and explore the blog (see here).

Looks great. I will try it when I get the chance.

Run by Entertainment for the Braindead

I love this song. It is amazing...

The Way We Go by Katherine Towers

Saw this on the underground a few months back. It's great!

the way we go about our lives
trying out each empty room
like houses we might own
eavesdropping for clues in corridors until

standing at a gate or attic window
seeing beauty in a flag of sky
we're gone, leaving the doors open
all the lights burning

Watch 'Invictus' streaming

This is a great movie. The story of South Africa winning the rugby world cup in 1995. It is about exceeding our own expectations of ourselves. Inspiring.

Brick walls

"Brick walls are there for a reason. They let us prove how badly we want things."

This is a quote from Randy Pausch. While diagnosed with terminal cancer, he gave a thoughtful and uplifting talk on chasing your childhood dreams. Here is the link:



There are so many inspiring insights in this talk. But I really like the Brick Wall quote. I use the brick wall as a filter for everything I want. If it fails the 'Randy' test then I don't mind if I'm blocked. If it passes the 'Randy' test then I do what it takes (patiently, and sometimes passively waiting for the planets to align) to climb over the wall.
