  Start Watching The Pleasure of Finding Things Out

  

  This is my favorite science documentary of all time. It is basically a one on one interview with Dr. Richard Feynman. He talks about the way he thinks, the way he sees and interprets the universe around him. I would think that it would provide a new and interesting prespecitive for most viewers.

   Death 4 DOC-LOG ?! Here’s something that may be of interest to any Americans who like to watch movies (/documentaries) online. Its a bill just introduced in congress that would allow the gov to block americans from accessing any sites where the primary focus of its venue may include infringements of copyrighted material. And, to my understanding that could go beyond the sites where the videos originate from, but also to to those that dedicate links (or embedding, as Doc-Log does) to those sources as well = bye-bye Doc Log for us in the U.S. There’s an online petition asking for signatures to stop the bill. I usually don’t sign those things unless I think I understand both sides of an issue (and I haven’t looked much further into this one yet) But the bill was co-written by Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and I can’t stand that holly-than-thou twit, so that was enough reason for me to sign. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

   Here’s an article from The Huffington Post: www (dot) huffingtonpost (dot) com (bk slsh) david-segal (bk slsh) stop-the-internet-blackli_b_739836 (dot) html

   And here’s the petition: http: (bk slsh bk slsh) demandprogress (dot) org (bk slsh) blacklist (bk slsh) coica

   Sssso… on the same subject, I’m adding more documentary playlists to my YouTube channel/user Barredeux. I change the titles up from the originals just in case they would fall into that infringement catagory. I’ll keep adding whatever I think you guys might find interesting, at least until DL comes back here & updates the site.

   *The Lines End – A 2009 feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans. Winner of 2 awards at last years Sundance Film Festival (not finished uploading yet)

   *Invisible Worlds Owt Of Sight – The human eye takes about fifty milliseconds to blink. But it takes our brain around a hundred and fifty milliseconds to process what we see. In those few milliseconds, extraordinary things are happening that pass us by. With the use of the latest high-speed cameras, go on a journey beyond our eye’s speed limits, to see secret worlds hidden out (owt) of sight.

   *Hot Science from Cool Galaxies
   Cambridge University astronomer R. Kennicutt gives a lecture at Univ. CA, Santa Barbara on the latest images from Herschel, the newest space telescope (April 2010)

   *Stress & Cellular Aging (a UCSF Lecture)

   *Gods End?: Horizon Guide To Science (Sept. 2010)
   Is there still room for God in the modern world? The relationship between science and religion has been long and troubled: from the condemnation of Galileo, clashes between creationism and evolution in 20th century America, to recent claims that the universe does not need God. British historians delve into the BBCs rich archive of science programmes to discover what lies behind this difficult relationship.

   *Consciousness – The Secret Inside You
   Another new one from Horizon Science

   *Exploring Earths Magnetic Field Extremes (a UCSD Lecture)

       Speaking of stepping – it seems DL has stepped off the side of the earth! Maybe we just bore him now. Who knows.

     OK, uploading sucks. So if I have just a short video clip in a playlist, look directly above the viewing window for a clickable link where you can watch the film in its entirety.

     I’ve done that with The Lines End (overfishing docu) So if you tried to watch it before, come back – its there now.

     *Before She Was America
     New scientific evidence is telling a very different story from the pre-Columbus Americas that is traditionally depicted in history books. When Columbus stepped ashore in 1492, America wasn’t exactly a “New World,” but a very old one with millions of inhabitants that had built a vast infrastructure of cities, orchards, canals and causeways.

     *BODIES – Beneath the Flesh
     Famous forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht gives a detailed narrative tour of the amazing “Human Bodies” exhibit. Simply incredible.

     *Language Acquisition
     To speak is human. But how is it that we are the only animal with the capacity for spoken language?

     *Together Forever
     Two people, one body, forever. Step inside the lives of ultra rare functioning conjoined twins, 16 year olds Brittney and Abby.

       forgot to mention – these documentaries are on the YouTube user channel ” Barredeux ”

       Also added playlists for Birth of The Earth, Birth of The Oceans, a clip with link to Monsters Inside Me (strange stories of disgusting parasites that can use the human body as their home)

   The pleasure of finding things out. Like the pleasure of coming to this site every day and finding out that you haven’t added any new videos in almost two months? Or the pleasure of finding other documentary sites that can actually deliver?

     Yeah, that kid from the Netherlands, Tim, spent 2 years building this site up & gaining a loyal following to his endeavor. I think he was respected because he had a very personal one-on-one relationship with anyone who cared to engage him, on everything from a simple hello, or thank you to issues with dead links or viewing difficulties. He also would post 3 or 4 new docus every 3 days like clockwork. It almost appeared that this new site owner was going to continue in that atmosphere, but it seems he drops the ball quite often. Now, the screen names of many inteligent people that would appear on an almost regular basis here to engage with others in thought provoking debate have virtually disappeared. Its really too bad. Documentary-Log is no longer at the top of my favorite sites, but it hasn’t been as fun as it used to be for some time now.

     (I’m going to feel like a real ass if we come to find out that this guy DIED, or is in a COMA or something. But, we may never know.)
