As part of its Brain exhibit, The American Museum of Natural History had an event called “This Is Your Brain On Ping Pong” which they co-organized with Club SPiN. They had a bunch of Pint Pong tables for people to play. The professional ping pong players from the club exhibited their skills as the panel of lecturers were talking about how human brain works while a person is playing Ping Pong.

This was my first (and most likely last) attendance of the bull riding competition. It was fun to watch for the first half hour, but the rest of the event is basically the same thing. People getting on the bull and getting bumped off. But I did have fun with the video editing:

The event was organized by Professional Bull Riders and took place at the Madison Square Garden.

Traditional Russians celebrate Christmas according to Julian Calendar in which Christmas falls on January 7 of the Gregorian Calendar. Here is the video I took at St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church:

Today I went to Julia Kulakova’s Gypsy Dance Workshop at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan. Every new year they host an open house where people can try various things that they offer for free. This is a comic video that I came up with which features Julia’s class:

I think “Alasia” is what they say in that song, but I could be wrong…
