- Are you (like me) one of the half-dozen people in South Florida who didn’t go see the Dalai Lama last week? Well you can watch this guy explain happiness. He’s got the same Tibetan monk outfit, and a bonus Fwensh akhson. (However, I watched the whole talk and I’m still not happy, so I guess I want my money back or something?) (You may also want the advanced version.)
- TheAwl: “A stunning new survey reveals that more than 40% of Texans do not believe humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time.”
- David Foster Wallace Audio Project, via Chuck Klosterman’s Twitter.
- Speaking of Twitter, you should follow Jay Rosen. This 5-minute talk is a good intro to what he’s all about. “Spam is Hate!”
- This guy stopped drinking for 30 days. Crazy.
- It’s all fun and games until Google reveals your location to your abusive ex-husband.
- Remember Art Salon at Art Basel? Did you got to any of those talks? Yeah, me neither, and it’s a good thing we didn’t waste our time, because they’re now all online.
- Terrifying recently released 9/11 World Trade Center aerial photos.
- So! Everybody loves Vampire Weekend. Just that there’s something about their music that’s a little troubling? Maybe? Well, Jessica Hopper thought she had her finger on it, but boy did this guy not like that, and went on to explain the rules of the game, some cultural thing that apparently we are all doing and shouldn’t be? If you’ve still got time to kill, you may want to read this in the context of all that.
- Toast with Kumquat Marmalade and Goat Cheese
- Jesse Schell’s terrifying vision of the future, where every coke can has a touch screen and a video camera, and everything is a crappy little game designed to get you to look at ads.
- You have two weeks left to get in your submissions for the Knight Arts Challenge. Get that brain storming.
