Year-End Zen: Watch How Ink Is Made

If we learned anything from Sesame Street, it was that Manhattan is a land where children not only keep llamas as pets but also take said mammals to avuncular dentists (it’s little wonder we ended up living here) and that most any industrial process could be made fascinating and quasi-educational through careful editing and the appropriate soundtrack. And so, as you busy yourself with plans to ring in 2015—with or without your pet llama and/or dentist—enjoy this soothing look at how ink is made, courtesy of the good people at Canada’s Printing Ink Company and Beethoven‘s Emperor concerto, his last for the piano.
