Jimmy Soul - If You Want To Be Happy For the Rest Of Your LIfe
This song has been stuck in my head since Saturday. And I really wish the Charleston would make a comeback.

The Phantom Tollbooth turns 50
 |
| Watch the video on Kickstarter |
One of my favorite books of all times, The Phantom Tollbooth, is turning 50 and filmmaker Hannah Jayanti is working on creating a documentary about author Norton Juster and illustrator Jules Feiffer. While they've already reached their $16,000 goal, I'm happy to support the project.
Jayanti writes "we follow Norton and Jules as they return to the house in Brooklyn Heights where Norton began writing a little story "to get his mind off of what he had to do." Working as an architect, Norton was awarded a grant for a book onUrban Perception, which he promptly didn't write. Instead, he created Milo. When he showed his notes to his neighbor, a young political cartoonist bent on overthrowing the government, Jules began sketching – and The Phantom Tollbooth was born."

That's Really Interesting
This neat fact comes from my uncle:
"Suppose that you could mark the molecules in a glass of water; then pour the contents of the glass into the ocean and stir the latter thoroughly so as to distribute the marked molecules uniformly throughout the seven seas; if then you took a glass of water anywhere out of the ocean, you would find in it about a hundred of your marked molecules."

Hierarchy of Digital Distractions
One of my favorite info-graphic sites, Information is Beautiful led by author/designer David McCandless, brings us this handy chart of the hierarchy of digital distractions. McCandless explains that it "exports and visualizes the subtle, invisible structure I use to prioritize one digital distractions over another."
His chart is featured in the MoMA's new exhibit "Talk to Me" which is curated by Paola Antonelli, the senior curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at MoMA.
You can purchase a limited edition print of the graphic here.
