These fairy light jars look easy to make. I’m going to test the process with (and effect on) my friends’ 6 year old, aka the target demographic. http://frompankawithlove.blogspot.ca/2012/01/glowing-jar-project-varazslat-lakasban.html

Sub City Paris
This reduced me to a quivering jelly of anthropomorphized nostalgia, and I don’t even take the Metro when I’m in Paris. Beautiful. Happy Bastille Day. The Unexpected Beauty of a Suspended Moment in 'Sub City Paris' – Video – The Atlantic.
Star Trails
Hey Don Pettit, stop hogging all the awesome. When he is not flying around Earth at about 18,000 miles per hour, out on space-walks or performing weird zero-gravity experiments, astronaut Don Pettit takes some of the most astounding space photos to date. The images, which look straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, as has […]
Reuben Margolin: Sculpting Waves
This is the untalkiest TED Talk ever, but that only further showcases the beautiful sculptures. If there were any of these within bus distance I think I’d be camping out under them. So mesmerizing. Reuben Margolin: Sculpting waves in wood and time | Video on TED.com.
Pixar’s ‘secret’ room
I learned the hard way that there’s no such thing as a Dream Job, and yet I still fantasise about working at Pixar. These guys are just too cool for words. The story of the ‘secret’ room at Pixar, frequented by Steve Jobs and many other celebrities – The Next Web.

The only musical interventions on my trains are the kids whose iPods are so loud you can make out lyrics through their headphones. This would be a welcome relief. Classically Cool Flash Mob in Copenhagen.

Archy & Mehitabel
I was enlightening a friend to the existence of Archy & Mehitabel, whose praises I’m sure I’ve sung in the past. Don Marquis’ witty and melancholic epigrams and poems are some of my most prized books. Very much worth checking out. herriman_don_marquis001-750×647.jpg 750×647 pixels.
Kindergarten Rock
I love this song unabashedly. Judging by the reactions of the Roots, they do too. Dude with the xylophone is enjoying it as much as I did. via Jimmy Fallon, Carly Rae Jepsen & The Roots Sing “Call Me Maybe” (w/ Classroom Instruments) – YouTube.
Caine’s Arcade
This has (deservedly) already gone viral: A sweet kid from East LA with a big imagination has the best day of his life, thanks to a nice guy handy with social media. (Here’s hoping nobody involved winds up naked and masturbating in public next week.) Caine’s Arcade Short Film | Caines Arcade Caine’s Arcade Short […]
