The 600 Years from the macula on Vimeo.

A stunning video-mapping show projected on Prague's already mind-bendingly beautiful medieval Astronomical Clock to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the clock's construction. (4 months of work, 5000x1200 resolution, 2x Christie 18K HD projectors.)

Much like his meditation on Being Poor, John Scalzi's Things I Don't Have To Think About Today, is a particularly moving treatise on the essence of privilege:

Today I don’t have to think about those who hear “terrorist” when I speak my faith.
Today I don’t have to think about men who don’t believe no means no.
Today I don’t have to think about how the world is made for people who move differently than I do.
Today I don’t have to think about whether I’m married, depending on what state I’m in.
Today I don’t have to think about how I’m going to hail a cab past midnight.

I highly suggest you click through and read to the end.
