Totally Free – An homage to rollerskating
June 3, 2015Rollerskating used to be everywhere, but these days it’s nearly impossible to find people on roller skates. ‘Totally Free’ is a short documentary that explores these weirdly wonderful roller skaters, how they got into skating and why it keeps them alive.
A nice short documentary about the joy of rollerskating.
Upon This Wrist
May 15, 2015After all those “one week with the Apple Watch” reviews, this is probably the most brilliant piece i read so far. About this thing on your wrist.
Very few notice the thing on the wrist. That makes me happy. But some do see it. Once they see it they say, Oh is that the thing? And I say, Yes it is the thing. And they ask, Has it changed your life? And I shrug. And they are so disappointed. They want me to say, Yes. Yes it has changed my life. The wrist thing. It’s made me a better man, a stronger man, a more thoughtful man. But, no. This is what I say: I say, Look, it shows maps. And they Ooooo. And I show them the remote camera and they Ahhhhh. And I say, look — my heartbeat. And they say, Wow, you have a high resting heart rate. And I sigh and say, I know. Oh, how I know.

April Fools
April 1, 2015Today is the day of silly announcements and made-up stories. And despite the fact that we all know very well it’s the 1st of April, we often still tend to believe at least some of them. I’m normally not that much into those things and get bored of Aprils Fools’ quite fast, but there were some today that i found quite funny. Here’s a collection of some of them.
Yoast acquired by Crowd Favorite
This one is pretty well done and included two very well written announcements on both their company blogs about the acquisition. They got me for a second – well done!
WordPress will be bundled in Jetpack
PostStatus wrote a post about how WordPress will soon be directly packed into JetPack as a new module. Including this gem of a sentence:
While there was some controversy over the decision to make WordPress a Jetpack module, in the end the leaders of the respective organizations prevailed to make it happen. The CEO of Automattic worked with the co-founder of WordPress directly, mediated by the head of the WordPress Foundation. Matt Mullenweg said the meetings were very productive.

Amazon.com takes the homepage back to the 90’s
Amazon changed the homepage to this thing that was amazon.com a long time ago. Would be interesting to know how such a joke affects sales on a huge site like Amazon.
CodeSchool – GeoCities Style
CodeSchool did this special “GeoCities” version of their homepage which will give you a warm nostalgic feeling with all it’s bouncy GIF animations, Comic Sans Text and some bright neon colors to choose from.
Amazon Dash Button
A button to order stuff that you need regularly, without ever having to pull out your phone or computer. This one was announced by Amazon yesterday, so we can’t be 100% sure yet if really a real thing or just a well executed joke. We’ll see, soon.
I’m sure i missed a ton of other things today. What were your favorite jokes today?
The Reinvention of Normal
March 26, 2015“Go straight off the wall” said his dad and Dominic does just that. The film follows Dominic Wilcox, an artist / inventor / designer, on his quest for new ideas….Transforming the mundane and ordinary into something surprising, wondrous and strangely thought provoking.
