We are in that time of humanity in wich we need to read books to LEARN how to EAT. Funny, but true. This book is well written, researched and is not trying to sell a thing. Read this if you ever wondered weather the "typical" American diet was really good for you or if it was just as good as a gummy bear and pretzel smoothie.

Amazing Ted Talk. A great way to understand why one should be happy with what one is given. Life always gives you what you need, nothing more, nothing less.

What is the most overrated threat to modern society? If you injure a bug, should you kill it or let it live? Why are so many restaurant cooks smokers? Those are just a few of the questions on Quora. They are answered by people in the certain industry or people that have wide knowledge on the subject. Ultra recommend.

Do you like wikipedia but don't like the fact that you have to read? This is the answer to all your woes!! Qwiki turns the first paragraph of wikipedia entries into a narration that is then read on top of a slideshow of images on the subject.

Funny, smart, funny, interesting, smart, smart, Yes. Read. True facts. Real info. Everyday. It's good for the soul. Trust. Go back and time and read the old entries. Posts written by journalists, philosophers, etc. Way worth the read.

When nonconformity has become not only cool but also consumable, and everyone is told they are special, what happens to our definitions of rebellion and individualism? Are our real rebels against "conformist nonconformity" now the "neo-traditionalists" who exchange their individualism for membership in a community that offers meaning in backward-looking ideologies?

Funny, dark, intelligent, sarcastic and incredibly well written. My feel good movie for the last few years. And, if you watch it more than a few times, you begin to notice all the little details that were put into the scenery and into the dialogue. Good movie to watch along side some green things as well..

Robin Williams showing some acting muscle. Dark and funny. And, if you like to analyze the hell out of movies, it offers some hidden insight into the world of children's entertainment. Did I mention you get to see Edward Norton wearing a rhino suit for most of the movie?

Clean blog for clean design and architecture lovers. Subtle shadows, subtle lines, delicate and intricate designs that float like a feather. Very well curated site.

Something to look forward to on Mondays. Short entries that won't distract you too much. Good for the foodies that like to see weird stuff.

The mood. Oh, the mooood of this movie. So amazing. Great for anyone that has ever lived alone in a big city full of sleepless nights. Neon, wet pavement, contemplation filled nights. These are the things that make me feel like a Taxi Driver.

Amazing ambiental artist. Goes along great with people watching. Her music adds a tinge of hope and innocence to everything I see while listening to her. Listen to her non-vocal albums, like "Everyone Alive Wants Answers" or "The Golden Morning Breaks"
