All 253 Messi La Liga Goals In One Sitting - After just watching the first 20 or so, you will realize the reason Messi has gone so far so fast. Its his touch. It's just amazing. He can bend the ball like no one's business, but more impressively are his drop shots. His sand wedge play is beyond amazing. Layups are his thing. Quickly flipping the ball just over the goalie's head shot after shot.
Time Travel Short from TimTimFed - a funny, tongue in cheek time travel short that is worth every minute of the seven minutes it will cost you to watch it.
New Off the Hook Game Lumino City - Every now and again a new game comes out that is intriguing. And then there are the super rare exceptions when your jaw comes unhinged and then drops onto the floor because you are so blown away by a new concept. That is the case with the new game Lumino City
Airline Fail Goodness - The plane apparently froze to the runway? Seriously? FROZE TO THE RUNWAY. I didn't even know that was a thing. But apparently it was negative 52 degrees Celsius? What is that in Fahrenheit? I don't even know. Woah, -64? That's cold. And apparently its cold enough to freeze rubber to the ground.
David Fullarton Wins The Art Game - Who is David Fullarton? Oh, no one really. Just one of my new favorite artists ever. Of all time. I mean! Look at this texture and portraits? Never mind the clever word play. Just fantastic stuff. If you'd like to purchase one of his pieces, at a ridiculously cheap price, you can do so right here.
Serial Podcast Spoilers - so, here we stand. Serial is an enormous, totally groundbreaking podcast. So far there have been something like 15 million downloads of the various episodes. Which is unprecedented. And I am going out on a limb and saying that Adnan
Time Travel Goes Awry in Double Trouble Kickstarter - Andreas Climent and André Hedetoft are Swedish filmmakeers that created the short film “Double Trouble” to investigate the humorous fallout of a young man who suddenly is enabled with the power of time travel. Obviously there is a girl involved. And obviously this flight of fancy was funded by a Kickstarter project.
Star Wars 7 Force Awakens Fan Art - So, the teaser trailer for The Force Awakens hit the interwebs and we were given our first quick glimpse of the future beyond the explosion of the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. If you missed it, (and that basically means you were the LAST person to catch the trailer) you can see it here:
Designing is difficult. I'm a decidedly mediocre designer because I have to be. In my line of work it can be important to bang out a good design quickly and without outsourcing. Two of the most difficult things about designing are 1) color combinations and 2) font selections. Years ago I solved my problem about deciding color combinations by using Behr's website to coordinate fabulous web design colors. (I totally sounded gay right there didn't I? If not gay, definitely very metro... wow.)
Ok, so I had no idea that the airspace around the world was nearly as complicated as it is. After just returning from numerous international flights around the world, I think I had more justification to be nervous than I was. Watch this video and see just how amazingly complex the flight patterns over the UK are.
You Are Rich - Make a Difference - Sponsor a child - I don't normally push for action here. But I think I'm personally done with inaction. I've seen too much and I'm tired of being the inactive upper 10%. Why don't you join me in turning someones life around. You are rich after all. You have already arrived. Maybe you just needed that little reminder of just how lucky you are. How lucky we all are. And just how much you can do to impact the world for change.
Which really shouldn't be much of a shocker to anyone seeing as though Serial is the single most downloaded podcast in the technology's history.
A Modern Message In a Bottle Would You Open It? So I recently decided to conduct my own modern message in a bottle experiment. I was listening to Radiolab and I was thinking about just what makes a thing great. You know. What makes someone continue listening when they wouldn't have normally? What do we find entertaining? And not only what but why? And I realized that it's the audacity of a thing. The curiosity to learn what will happen next. Right?
Man. This is just going to be a public service announcement for all of you out there that have somehow left your brain behind, and have come completely irrational when it comes to Ebola. Today I am getting on a plane, and will be heading to eastern Africa in order to train people in three different countries about an iPhone app my team developed. But this Africa trip just keeps coming up, not because I'm bringing it up... but people are now required to ask about it.
I have thought for years that I would love to capture people driving home from work sitting at the wheel of their car stopped at a red light. You see all kinds right? People are wiped out. They are brain dead. Their bodies have memorized the way home and they have checked out for the duration. It's almost a metaphor for the way we stupor our way through our lives.
