Anybody want to get 23andMe?
strle is rounding the spit troops:
Soooo, 23andme is having a BlackFriday sale where you can get 20% off 2 kits or 40% off 3 kits. Justin wants it for Christmas, and i’m a bit curious too… If we could get one more person, each kit would only be $300! That’s like 3 for less than the price of two- and you know I love a bargain.
You paypal me the cash money, I send you your spit tube kit when it...
How to understand the future
An insight from Oslo by jayparkinsonmd:
If you want to understand the future, don’t pay attention to how technology is changing, pay attention to how childhood is changing.

Tune Yards Sessions on 4AD.com →
I saw Tune Yards open up for The Dirty Projectors last week and was enamored by Merrill Garbus’ style. This HD studio session captures her sound well however her stage presence takes it to another whole level.

I read these doom and gloom articles about the demise of the open internet, and all I can usually think is “you had your chance.” I was as big of an advocate of the free internet as anyone, passionately arguing and freaking out every time someone put up a wall. And while articles like this make some good points, I find it curious that they always leave out the other side of the...

Speaking Different Dialects of the Same Language

my mother and I no longer speak the same protocols… I love my mother dearly - she is also an articulate speaker and a precise thinker, however I find myself getting more and more frustrated trying to carry out conversations with her. Upon reflection, it isn’t either of our faults, we are just speaking different dialects of the same language, leading to confusion. What I...
