It occasionally happens that we need a quick reminder that the world we live in is an amazing and beautiful place, and today is one of those days. In the interest of keeping our eyes on big pictures and finding some strange beauty to appreciate in the world, we offer up this video of a river of molten rock flowing into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii. Courtesy of PBS Digital Studios, these images of the Earth literally opening up and remaking itself -- and of course boiling the very oceans that surround it in the process -- are pretty incredible, offering visions of underwater eruptions, avalanches, and the transformation of a small corner of our planet. Take a look below. We hope you dig it. 

PBS Digital Studios and John D. Boswell -- or melodysheep -- of Symphony of Science have released their newest collaboration: Bob Ross Remixed | Happy Little Clouds. In the gloriously remixed video composed of clips from The Joy of Painting, Bob Ross sings to us about painting both happy little clouds and trees. It's a lovely tribute to the creative impact Mr. Ross had on so many over a relatively short period of time. Remember, there are no limits here.

After discovering video mash-up artist John D. Boswell -- or melodysheep -- of Symphony of Science and discovering he was a huge Mister Rogers fan, PBS Digital Studios commissioned a piece on our good buddy Fred, and this is the result: Garden Of Your Mind. It's a touching little tribute to the man so many of us grew up with. Rest in peace Fred Rogers, everybody misses you.
