Science Crushes My Childhood, Future Ambitions
Apparently the Triceratops never actually existed. It is in fact a younger version of a dinosaur no one has ever heard of -- the Torosaurus.
Science once again crushes my childhood. I can never be a Dino Rider.
Psalm 131
My heart is not proud, Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.But I have calmed myself
and quieted my ambitions.I am like a weaned child with its mother
like a weaned child I am content.Israel, put your hope in the Lord
both now and forevermore.
Productivity at Glazer's Coffee
One of my most cherished coffee shops on island. They used to play pretty terrible music, but I guess someone told them. Sweet French Jazz is flowing through the room this afternoon...
All Creatures — Red Letter
I used to laugh at All Creatures because Mr. Bean couldn't remember the words to the old hymn. Little did I know those boring forgotten words would one day speak deeply to my soul. Above is a rendition of All Creatures preformed by Mars Hill Church's Red Letter. I heard this live back in March when I was in Seattle, and it knocked me off my block. Old hymns redone with a Death Cab tinge — brilliant. I've looked high and low for this track, and am extremely excited now that it's been released.
This is probably one of the greatest worship songs ever.
Apparently Multitasking Isn't Good for You
Scientists say juggling e-mail, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave. They say our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information.
These play to a primitive impulse to respond to immediate opportunities and threats. The stimulation provokes excitement — a dopamine squirt — that researchers say can be addictive. In its absence, people feel bored.

I can fully relate to this.
Motivational Wolf

I'm pretty sure this is as old as time, but I just discovered it this afternoon. This wolf sure does care about me. Those red beating gums are strangely inviting.
22tracks
I have this recurring nightmare where I can't find the perfect song on my work playlist and I end up listening to white noise for 3 hours. Luckily reality has a solution for this issue. Check out 22tracks.com, a multi-genre, DJ-curated music playlist filled with some of the best beats around. No longer do I have to worry about what's going to play next, or whether or not I should vote a song into immortality. Everything is chosen for me while my ears are spoon fed greatness.
