Out of the blog; the coolest thing you'll see today

No, I'm not anywhere special: I'm at home, sick, recovering from some stupid cold that's been killing me all week and I finally needed to just lay in bed all day, which is less fun than it sounds (especially when you're still coughing every so often). Now I'm up and I have a cup of tea, but I still don't have a blog entry for you.

So, via Kottke, here's the coolest thing you'll see today (or possibly see again, seeing as how it's making the rounds of all the usual sites as one of today's memes). "Murmuration", by Sophie Windsor Clive, captures a truly epic collection of starlings--a murmation of starlings, for those of you who love collective nouns as much as I do--and it really is awe-inspiring.
