Happy Friday! I haven’t done any kind of train/transit video in a very long time … so here you are. This is a mix of original (MR-63), vintage (MR-73) and modern (MPM-10) rolling stock running on the Montreal métro, as captured at a few stations last month.

Wil Wheaton listens to a question

At the end of a Wil Wheaton discussion at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this weekend, a woman in the audience asked if she could record him telling her newborn daughter why it’s awesome to be a nerd.
I cannot exaggerate how awesome the question was, nor how awesome the answer turned out to be. Easily the most inspiring thing I’ve heard in a very long time.
So here is her video. If you’ve got five minutes, I invite you to listen in. I promise it will make your day 🙂

Here’s a cool art installation at Place des Arts in Montreal. Walking through the triangular structures causes them to play a series of xylophone-like tones.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris puts on a five-minute light show at night, on the hour, much to the delight of tourists. Caught this video a few nights ago, just as I was leaving, at first unaware of this sparkling sensation.
