Watch This!

Wired magazine is very interesting. It keeps you up-to-date with trends in technology. I get it periodically (pun intended) at the bookstore when I am ready to be overwhelmed by how woefully far behind the future I am. I learn a lot. It is a commendable and educational magazine.

It does not, however, at first appear to be a source of insanely hilarious videos. Until you find out from your brother about their "Top 10 Amazing Biology Videos" feature on the Wired Science blog.

Go there now. Scroll down to the seventh video, "El Corazón," which is dramatically under-described as "an unusual music video about the heart, in Spanish, with English subtitles."

Watch the whole video. No, its gets better. Keep watching. Wait for it. Wait for it. Oh, yes!, the inevitable reference to the femenina rock super-group, Heart. THAT is solid educational video making.

PS - Wired's Gadget Lab blog is also pretty cool. Oh, and The Cars is an undervalued band. You will never like "My Best Friend's Girl" as much as I do; now playing on iTunes.
