Little Boy Makes a Strong & Touching Argument on Why He Shouldn’t Eat Octopus

This is a sweet moment between mom and son. I think a lot of parents have this same conversation, when their child connects their food to viable creatures. An old friend of mine has 5(!) kids, and I was there when one of them discovered that the chicken on her plate was from a “real chicken.” O’ the horror that ensued… This kid’s mom is quite level-headed, but other parents, unfortunately, have a more forceful “eat your food!” response. Well worth your time, especially if you’ve hung out with kids and witnessed their incredible perceptions.  

I cannot.

“Tumblr prides itself on being a home for brands, established and emerging, we at Yahoo are all about brands,” Mayer said on the call.

not to be too too too cynical but I know all the people I follow on Tumblr and all the people who follow me are united in one thing and one thing only: their ravenous enthusiasm for brands. “I came for the sense of a new community, one with a keen feel for the visual but with a passion for language, too,” they say, “but it’s the brands that keep me here. Sweet Christ I love brands. Let the mountains collapse into dust and the oceans all boil, but give me brands,” they cry in the night. I personally remember, as a child, pleading with my parents to let me interface with my favorite brands. And interface we did. With the brands. The glorious, glorious brands

Space Sounds - Symphonies of the Planets

It’s time for another Episode Extra! (which is where you special blog readers get to check out really cool stuff to go along with my YouTube videos, like special features on a DVD, only way more special-er)

In my latest video, “Space Sounds”, we explored some truly awesome musical and sound creations that were literally made from scientific data collected from space. They are spooky, calming, expansive and just plain wonderful. Watch it here if you haven’t seen the episode yet.

Turns out people have been doing this for a while! In 1992, NASA released a now hard-to-find five-volume musical collection called Symphonies of the Planets. They took electromagnetic sensor data from Voyager 1 and 2’s trip past Jupiter and Saturn, which happened over a decade prior. Solar winds and stellar radio waves were converted into sounds accessible to our ears, and the result is some of the most calming ambient music I’ve ever heard. If only the Voyager probes weren’t running low on power today. Imagine the music we could create as they make their way out of the solar system!

Want to hear more? I found a playlist of all five collections on YouTube for your enjoyment. Here’s some more background on the 1992 release.

This week kind of blows.

The DEP section that my company does the most work with is in the middle of a large, fast-paced restructuring.

So obviously, everything is falling apart and we might not have jobs in 2 months.

Because they refuse to realize that they cannot restructure something so large and complicated in such a small amount of time.

WORLD ORDER　”PERMANENT REVOLUTION” (by Crystal Navigation)

this is the greatest thing I have ever seen

literally.  this appeals to everything i appreciate

and it sounds like the postal service and has amazing choreography and has this really like, wonderful pleasant earnest vibe.

this is the most surrealist yuppie piece of art that has ever existed.  ah <3

this fully represents and embodies the concept of surrealist yuppy-ism 

i just love how positive it is 

I love following Grimes.  I don’t think I would have found these guys alone and this is easily one of my favorite videos of all time now.

Thanks, lady!
