I want to go to Croatia

Sea Organ is an architectural and experimental musical object located in Zadar, Croatia. Is a pipe organ that has a set of 35 musically tuned tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps played by the sea waves. The movement of the sea pushes air through, and depending on the size and force of the wave, it produces a somewhat random but harmonic sound. Designed by architect Nikola Basic in 2005, who recently received the European Prize for Urban Public Space for this project.

Hulu is here!

Hulu is this amazing online TV/movie provider from NBC Universal and News Corp. I’ve been using it pretty religiously throughout it’s beta stage and am very happy to report that the site is now open to the public. Thanks to Hulu, I have been able to enjoy quality (HD) programming without having to resort to any illegalness (R.I.P. Tv-links) especially during the writer’s strike. With the announcement of its public launch, Hulu is now signed with a ton of providers including Lionsgate (Requiem for a Dream), Warner Bros. (Fool’s Gold?!?! Pokemon!!!), the NBA (Lakers), and the NHL (Sharks).

So go sign up, enjoy, embed, and spread the word.

Wal-Mart.

Walmart Store Front

So I’ve somehow never been to a Wal-Mart in my life. Being a business school student, we discuss Wal-Mart a lot. I know all about its process innovations, its distribution amazingness, and its supplier rape. But stepping into the store for the first time was still very overwhelming. What doesn’t Wal-mart sell? Health insurance? Diving boards?

It must be great to be a member of this family:
Walton Family

I’ve spent a couple of hours perusing the Wal-Mart company site for a video we were shown in management class, but I can’t find it anymore. If anyone knows where I can track down the clip about vendors/suppliers selling their souls in Bentonville please give me a heads up.
