Redux

Channel Spotlight: Nature’s Imprint

As we go through our days it’s easy to get pulled into our work, to-do lists, and balancing everything else in life. Aneeta’s “Nature’s Imprint” channel on Redux is a beautiful reminder of the expansive natural world that’s beyond the little bubbles we live in. It’s refreshing to see and learn about animals and environments from across the globe, both on ground and underwater.

Here are a few of my favorite videos from her channel, but I have to say I recommend them all. It’s easy to get lost and feel like you’ve spent the afternoon snorkeling in the Canary Islands and then taking a hike in Yosemite. Maybe it’ll even inspire you to go outdoors and do something out in the fresh air this weekend!

Caught on Tape: Best of 2011

If you look at the statistics of social media platforms like YouTube and Twitter you will notice usage percentages are continuing to increase. With the acceptance and popularity of smartphones more people are connecting to the Internet than every before. In the past half-decade the way people interact with media has been changing. Status updates and video uploading are functions that are more commonly being utilized thanks to smartphones the result is information coming in from the everyday world and in real-time rapid speed.

What is most interesting about social media’s growth is not how people are connecting to it but what they are producing. It’s not all about entertainment and communication. Much of what is uploaded is a reflection of the state of humanity. Uprising began on Facebook and spiralled into the streets and the video of state-ordered atrocities are being broadcasted from cell phones to the globe.

Whether it is a car crash or revolution it’s being understood because of social media and we are all apart of it. Below are 5 examples of how serious the world has been changed in the past year thanks to the acceptance of social media.

Rides: Best of 2011

Read any of Hotlap’s captions in Rides, and there will be no question in your mind about how smitten this expert curator is with his subject matter. You’d be lucky to get a love letter from your significant other that’s written as poetically and romantically, assuming you’re as seductive as an Art Morrison 3G 1960s Corvette, Bentley SuperSports coupe, or a GT-R.

SkatePALS and RADBMX: Best of 2011

Csvizzero is a skateboarder and filmmaker himself which translates into the visually and technically pleasing content he posts into his SkatePALS and RADBMX channel. It’s a great destination if you’re looking for footage of and interviews with the best up and coming skaters and BMXers.

Rock Live: Best of 2011

One of my favorite things is going to concerts and music festivals. There’s just something inimitable about listening to the raw sounds of a live guitarist. And, I’ve had some pretty ‘interesting’ experiences at concerts- like getting trampled on in mosh pits or having whisky spilled on my face at intimate gigs. But, it’s all worth it. Watching a musician perform their song is just so much better than listening to some overproduced, slick version of their track on your computer.

Here’s my my pick for the best Rock Live songs of the year:

Exploration: Best of 2011

The year of 2011 was full of amazing discoveries and big scientific experiments. For the first time in human history we had the opportunity to observe collision of the particles at the highest speeds. This year also was marked by our achievements in space exploration, especially on Mars, and many other achievements on the field of science and exploration.

We explored in-depth a number of particle-collision experiments at LHC and other similar facilities in the Exploration channel this year, but it seems that those experiments are still to come out with their main results in 2012. We were also expecting to finally discover the Higgs Boson particle but we’ll have to wait a little longer for that one.

Orso: Best of 2011

I have learned SO much over the past year as a curator that I can honestly say I would be a different person today if I had never started. I am extremely proud of my shares and sincerely hope they entertain and inform an audience who appreciates them as much I do. From the beautiful, inspiring videos about saving the planet in the Earth Hackers channel, to the always entertaining, sometimes informative videos in the DRUGS channel, it was quite a task to pick just 5 for the Best of 2011. However, I hope you enjoy watching this selection as much as I did sharing it. These are my best (in no particular order, that would be way too difficult) shares of 2011:
