Dotan Negrin is traveling across the United States playing an upright piano he drags along with him in his truck. He’s living off donations given to him while he plays in some really cool locations. I’ve been enamored with his posts for months and I’m finally getting around to sharing it.

I hope that when he’s done with the US he jumps the ocean and keeps going west.

Or, as I like to call this particular video – YouTube video of the week.

As performed by Viddler member Musicreator. A beautiful piece to play loudly while programming, I assure you.

Random 60: Holding onto wishes | Favorite on Viddler.

Do you hold onto wishes, or things, too long? I do too. There are boxes and boxes worth of stuff floating around in our apartment that I wish I could use, learn to use, or have the hope of using in the future.

Perhaps we’re holding onto these things too long and should just focus on the things we have time for right now. Then, when our interests move on, we can move on too.

What wishes are you holding on to?
