This Week's Favourite Things! Monday February 13th - Sunday February 19th, 2017

1.  Youtube video: 66 (Old) Movie Dance Scenes Mashup (Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk ft.Bruno Mars).  wow.  The music video for the song this is based on is great too of course. 

2.  Gogol Bordello videos on youtube:   Tribal Connection (again), Not A Crime, and Immigraniada (We Comin' Rougher)  this last song seems to be a tribute to immigrants and ends with a slide which says "No Human Being is Illegal".   Timely message.

3.  Pineapple.  President's Choice has bags of frozen pineapple chunks now, very convenient for smoothies.  Pineapple has a lot of health benefits.

4. This Michelangelo quote: "The great danger for most of us is not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark".

5. This twitter feed: @LawAttractionLO 

6.   This Tyee Article about the first project funded by CMHC's Affordable Rental Housing Innovation Fund:  'Modular' One-Person Homes Fill A Need in Vancouver.  At 250 sqft these units are actually larger than student housing at UBC, which is currently constructing 140 sqft "Nano Suites" and 230 sqft studio apartments.

7.  This Tyee Article about another cool Vancouver affordable housing project:  'Inspiring' Shipping Container Housing Set to Multiply. 

8.  This youtube clip from the Big Bang Theory Episode where Elon Musk helps out at a soup kitchen.
