Because it’s Friday: Within two worlds

I live at the edge of a city not far from a motorway so my ability to fully appreciate the night sky is limited, but the view from our back garden is still good enough to make me wonder at the majesty of it.

This time-lapse video gives a much clearer view:

Because it’s Friday: Contact Juggling with Akihiro Yanai

As someone who’s dexterity stretches just about as far as being able to type with more than one finger I’m always amazed at other peoples ability and skills. I can barely juggle two balls and have never entered into a circle of keepy-uppy so the feats that Akihiro manages to perform are a complete mystery to me.

The video quality isn’t great but the spectacle is amazing:

If you want some more juggling bafflement try this one too (about 6 mins into it there are four guys playing keepy-uppy with their elbows!):
