Facebook Group Miraculously Reunites Camera with Owner

This is wonderful. Here is the scoop:

A Facebook group called “Needle in a Haystack” has found its needle. Australian Danny Cameron organized the Facebook group in an effort to locate the owner of a camera he found on the Greek island of Mykonos. Cameron posted a photo he’d pulled from the camera’s memory card and then spread the word on Facebook. More than 230,000 people joined the online search effort and eventually somebody recognized the people in the photo, who were friends of the camera’s owner, a Frenchwoman. With the camera now returned, Cameron has issued a final post: “Congratulations, everyone. I am amazed and in awe of you all.” (from the Week)

Sure compared to other stories here, this isn't as profound, but it's pretty darn cool, eh?

Rescuing Baby Ducks from a Pool - Video

Something cutesy to start the week:



Glad that some people are nice enough to try to get them out and also I like that the mama duck picks up on it quickly.

I also didn't know ducks could quack that much.

* Thanks to Angela for passing the video on!

"Blue Light" by Mazzy Star

For this Sunday Sublime song, it would have been too easy to choose Mazzy Star's beautiful hit "Fade Into You." But out of all three of their albums, the tune "Blue Light" always had a particular ethereal quality to it, even more so than usual. I love singer Hope Sandoval's voice, so effortlessly sublime.

5-Year-Old Daughter Climbs Ravine to Save Mother

This story gave me goosebumps:

A 5-year-old Canadian girl saved her mother’s life after their truck drove off a cliff. Nikki Butler, 30, was driving through the Rocky Mountains with her daughter Mary when their truck skidded on black ice, flipped over the guardrail, and rolled four times before coming to rest at the foot of a steep embankment. Unable to wake her unconscious mother, Mary unbuckled her seat belt, crawled out the rear passenger window, and climbed 150 feet back to the road where she flagged down a passing truck. “I needed to save my mom,” said Mary, “because I love my mom.” Mary was not hurt and her mother suffered only minor injuries. (from The Week)

I want to give that kid the biggest high-five in the world.

Piano Stairs - Video

In the spirit of the last post, here is another fun one I came across recently.

How do you get more people to use the stairs instead of the escalator? Make them musical. Love it.

Enjoy:


It worked too - 66% more people used the stairs!
