The boys are in love with these videos from a Japanese kids’ show called Pitagora Suicchi (Pythagoras Switch) on YouTube and have made me watch several of them this morning. Not the worst thing I’ve been made to watch… \ And here’s part 2.

Something in the Water
This is my fifth year at SxSW. Something wonderful happens to me when I’m here with all my crazy creative friends.
