This is a really cool song, by the Black Eyed Peas, about a guy remembering his homeland. Sung in Tagalog and English, it has a wonderful rhythmic feel to it. Check out the video here.

The lyrics are as follows:

The Apl Song
- from the Elephunk Album

[Chorus in Tagalog]
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
Ako'y padadalang, balita galing sa bayan ko
Yaung pamamahagi ang mga kuento
Ng manga pangyayaring ganaganap
Sa lupang pinangako

[English Translation:]
(Come together and listen
I brought news from my native land
I'll tell you how we live and what goes on
From my beloved homeland.)

[Verse one, Apl.De.Ap]
Every place got a ghetto this is my version
Check it out...
Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto where life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living
How would you feel if you had to catch your meal?
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in.
Having to pump the water outta the ground
The way we put it down utilizing what is around
Like land for farming, river for fishing
Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can
We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'
That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland

[Chorus]

[Verse two, Apl.De.Ap]
Yo, its been a while but...
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on
Man it feels good to be back at home
And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines
I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal
Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel!
Now life has changed for me in the U.S
But back at home man, life was a mess...
I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down
On your knees, oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...

[Chorus]

Force Dynamics - Talk about getting in the game!

This is arguably the best animation short I've ever seen. I hope it gets made into a full-length feature. Just great. Check out In the Rough by Blur Studios

Joy, thy name is comic.
Well, comics are good for a few laughs anyway. Staying healthy and all. Get your daily dose here, at least for Calvin and Hobbes. The site has every strip from Nov 85 to Dec 95.
Wow, it's hard to believe they've been gone for ten years.

Wow - imagine the possibilities...
Check out Total Immersion Technology - it's quite cool

If in ten years I have a spare 8 million lying around, this is where I'm going. Want to come along?

Finally! A stand alone app has been released.

This is some crazy stuff - take a moment to look through the pages of pics
The wonder that is the Ice Wall Project

How in the heck...?
