Autumn, drought, rewiring your brain and more

This weekend, in the Northern Hemisphere, we welcome Autumn! My personal favorite season of them all.

This week I have a short list for you and as always, I hope that you find something to enjoy.

iPhone + Apple Watch | Another Birthday | Apple - YouTube. This is an incredible ad. It tells several beautiful stories that draw you in and allow you to see yourself participating, to the degree that you forget they are selling a product. Very clever and well done.

ONE LIFE Trailer (2023) Anthony Hopkins - YouTube. Oh my, I teared up just watching the trailer. This film will tell the story of Sir Nicholas Winton, who rescued 669 children (most of them Jewish) in the late 1930’s. I cannot wait to see this one and Anthony Hopkins portraying him is excellent.

Arabian Nights (orchestral version) Aladdin - Lina Kuipers - YouTube

Wide River to Cross - The White Horse Guitar Club - YouTube

How I rewired my brain in six weeks - BBC Future. There is so much hope in the ability to rewire one’s own brain and that we know so little of the capacity as well.

Photo of a paper nautilus on a floating stick wins award - BBC News. Absolutely beautiful, just phenomenal.

The old Scottish pub that found a new life in California - BBC News. What a fascinating story!

Crunchy grass, the sound of an “exceptional drought.”

I hope that your weekend is joyful, restful, happy, calm, full of sleep or adventure or even somewhere just in between.
