This clip has been making the rounds on the Internet, so odds are you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, you should watch it, preferably in HD at Vimeo. At the very least, click the title of this post to see it full size. 
The premise is simple: Matthew Harding took a trip to 42 countries to film short clips of him doing a silly dance, sometimes alone, sometimes with lots of local folks, often in beautiful locations. The result is this 4:28 video.
I’m proud to share the fact that this guy is from Connecticut. They don’t call us nutmeggers for nothing.
Update: The song is (called Praan) is available at Amazon’s MP3 store.

I missed being part of the due dilligence trip to India because I was on my honeymoon. Congrats to everyone at ESPN who worked on this deal, and congrats to the CricInfo guys for joining a great company.
I gotta be honest. When I first heard about the E-Ticket idea, essentially creating the equivalent of the Sunday paper’s magazine insert for the web, I didn’t like it. It seemed a bit goofy and like it might be a marketing thing gone awry. Boy was I wrong. The Ichiro E-Ticket a few weeks ago was the first one that got my attention. I actually read the whole thing through. The content was great but the visuals, man, that was an awesome layout.
Last week, they did the Graham Bensinger interview with OJ Simpson, a story as much about Graham, an 18-year old with a radio show on ESPN Radio in St. Louis. Part of what has surprised me, I think, is that ESPN (the TV network) has been involved with the projects, creating pieces for TV that correspond to the E-Ticket for the weekend. Pretty cool stuff.
Which brings me to this week’s E-Ticket: A Wicket Wedding. Amar Shah relates his instant love of cricket when he and his bride went to India to get married. It’s a pretty cool story, and the photos are worth it. And, if you wanted to know the rules, they’re right there.
