  1. "It’s not that I don’t like people. It’s just that when I’m in the company of others - even my nearest and dearest - there always comes a moment when I’d rather be reading a book."
    — Maureen Corrigan (via selfinspiration)

    Doodling in Math Class: Stars

    Oh Vi, you are wonderful.

    The mesmerizing, energetic math behind drawing stars in the margins (or all over) your notebooks. It gets wonderfully complicated, and fast.

    Someone get me some notebook paper. We have some stars to draw.

    Also, does she ever take a breath?!

    I love this little beautiful mind!

    Noisy Interactive Posters by DM9DDB

    Clever campaign by DM9DDB for Saxsofunny, a sound engineering company from Brazil.

    Playing with the theme “Every image has a sound”, the Brazilian agency created interactive ads using different materials to simulate the sounds of objects pictured in their campaign posters.

    So brilliant. I can actually hear the sound it would make. Love it.

  5. I joined a book club, y’all!

    We’ve had two meetings so far. It’s a small group, 3 other people attended the first meeting and 5 people were at the 2nd meeting.

    The books, i’ve read so far for the meetings are:

    First book: The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom

    First Meeting was on Saturday, March 10th at Taix. We discussed The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. It was ok, a great ice-breaker book. We talked about the book, death, what we’ve already read and the books we want to read next. And ended the meeting by deciding on the next book.

    Second book was: Therese Raquin by Emile Zola

    My pick! It was a great book. Very intense. I really liked the dark, dreary descriptions of Paris. I was given this book as a gift in 2007 and then lost it during a few moves during that year. I told the group I wanted to finish it and so I finally got to in 2012. Yay!

  7. Current Obsession: RadioLab

    Currently obsessed with listening to all of the Radiolabs. So interesting, thought provoking. Loved the Afterlife podcast, especially the bit about not having just one death. Another death is the last time you are thought of or mentioned on Earth. Crazy thought, right? That podcast and other equally awesome ones here:
