What if Jack Kerouac had GPS and Yelp?

Ari N. Schulman dives in to the impact navigational technology has on our sense of adventurous travel.
GPS navigation, in its present form, …dulls our receptivity to our surroundings by granting us the supposed luxury of not having to pay attention to them at all. In travel facilitated by “location awareness,” we begin to encounter places not by attending to what they present to us, but by bringing our expectations to them, and demanding that they perform for us as advertised. In traveling through “augmented reality,” even the need for places to perform begins to fade, as our openness to the world gives way to the desire to paper over it entirely. It is an admission of our seeming distrust in places to be sufficiently interesting on their own. But in attempting to find the most valuable places and secure the greatest value from them, the places themselves become increasingly irrelevant to our experiences, which become less and less experiences of those places we go.

Earth Fly-Over
Amazing footage, now with nifty music!
No flea market for us this weekend. We will, instead be having a yard sale at our place to help Jack’s mum with sorting and selling her costumes. We also hope to make it out to a few of the artists that are part of Open Studios. Enjoy yours!
NOT Google+
Seeing as Google+ is a bit barin, and Facebook’s new redesign is their ugliest, most confusing iteration yet, The NOT Google+ movement is absolutely something I’m considering…
N SKY C

NSKYC The average color of the New York City sky, updated every 5 minutes.
Welp, right now, Encinitas’ sky doesn’t look much different than New York’s (at least we’re a bit cooler, though).
Gamifying Education
Extra Credit is probably my favorite online series. And even though I’m not a gamer and haven’t really played since the days of Quake, I am fascinated by game culture and it’s impact on the rest of media and the world at large. These guys always manage to be extremely insightful.
To all my educators out there, WATCH!
(We’ve actually posted a video by Daniel Floyd before he, along with James Portnow and Allison Theus, moved over to the Escapist, which was another well-written, well-thoughtout essay.)
Geeky Laws of the Internet

A few of my favs from this Wired article. Happy Monday! (HOLY CARP, THIS IS OUR LAST WEEK! EEK!)
1. Munroe’s Law: A person in a geeky argument who can quote xkcd to support his position automatically wins the argument. This law supersedes Godwin, so that even if the quote is about Hitler, the quoter still wins
2. Lucas’s Law: There is no movie so beloved that a “special edition,” prequel or sequel cannot trample and forever stain its memory.
6. Savage and Hyneman’s Law: Blowing stuff up is fun. Blowing stuff up in the name of science is AWESOME.
Myspace: The Movie
The untold story about everybody’s first friend.

Miffy MP3 Player

Most adorable MP3 player ever? I’m a big fan of Miffy (super cute Dutch book series) since she happens to share her name with my grandmother’s “grandma name” (and she LOVES bunnies).

Jack & Jules
Once upon a time a California boy met a Georgia girl in New York. They didn't get along, at first. But, little by little, they fell in love. Today, they are happily living in Santa Cruz, CA and still very much in love, running an Art & Print shop and a branding & design business together.
