Three links of stunning beauty:

MOCEAN: slow-motion oceans, with an emphasis on breakers. Whoa. (via)

Robert Lang illustrates 11 levels of complexity in origami using successively more complicated models of cicada. Level 7 is already a little past my technical skill (and I learned several things just from watching that segment). Disclosure statement: Robert Lang fanboy here. (via, which has more Lang links)

Solo dulcimer cover of “I Wanna Be Sedated”. (via, where more covers are highlighted in comments)

Oh wOW that ocean one is gorgeous (though the soundtrack was ear-torturing. Better in silence.)

I want to watch MOCEAN forever.

The soundtrack is interesting.

Wow, in the ocean one, you really can see how ice is just very-slow water: when you super-slow-mo the water like that, it looks like ice--when it's very very thin, you can practically see the frost patterns in it.

The origami one was *amazing*. I shared it with my physics-PhD brother and my daughter-who's-fond-of-origami.
