Tomas Nilsson made this unique version of Little Red Riding Hood. It’s a modern isometric music video interpretation of the story. Very effective. He says he did it as a student assignment.

Audio Story: Tom Swift and the Visitor from Planet X
Here’s an excellent audio download of one of the old Tom Swift adventure books, Tom Swift and the Visitor from Planet X. The reading is by Roy Trumbull at the Story Spieler Podcast.
The Tom Swift adventure books are a series that began in 1910 and continue in some form today. This particular book was written in 1961. Tom is a young inventor who dreams up all sorts of high-tech devices and craft in order to win the day.
Apparently, computer developer Steve Wozniak grew up reading the books and credits them with inspiring free and open creative thinking.
World’s Largest Model Railroad
Well, if this isn’t the most insane thing I’ve seen in several years! This is a simply unbelievable video of the Miniatur Wunderland model railroad in Hamburg, Germany. It is the largest in the world at 16,146 square feet with 10,000 railroad cars running on 6.8 miles of miniature track. Construction of the railroad is still underway, with a scale model airport due to open this year. Good grief! Total mind-blowing insanity!
Most Interesting Bookstores in the World
Here’s a site that posts photos of incredible bookstores from all over the world. The picture here is of the third floor of Shakespeare & Co., in Paris. It’s got lots of books, a bulletin board, a ladder, and… a bed. How’s that for reading comfort? I bet shoppers are fighting over the bed everyday in Paris. I wonder if there’s a time limit on reading in the bed?
I have to visit this bookstore soon because I am a very lazy reader.
I found this on a wonderful literature blog called Conversational Reading.
