Video: A Message from John Lennon
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
This has been a long and amazing year. Thanks to support from Yoko Ono, a little digital magic, and some more beautiful animation from TAXI, we have a video message from John Lennon about the power of education to change the world. See for yourself.
And I feel obligated to remind you of these two great videos:
- TED follows up on their Nicholas Negroponte talk from 2006 in the Colombian jungle
- CEIBAL make two of my favorite vids of 2008
UPDATE: Lennon is now a top-2010 video on Youtube, and the top in many countries… with a lot of media interest in South America and Europe. It is quite a polarizing spot.
UPDATE: Lennon is now, after less than a week, the most popular OLPC video online, eclipsing the Sugar demo and TED clips in total viewership, with almost 1100 comments.
Postscript: I have the full cut of the final G1G1 thank-you video montage, now posted on Dailymotion. Simply beautiful. Thank you to Jason and Michelle for pulling that together.

“Peru makes what remains my favorite vid of 2008″ Don’t you mean Uruguay?
