Senses working overtime #72

1 Ranking the Star Wars episodes

This is fun, F.U.N!!!! What an awesome image too.

2 Dataists and Planet of the Apps.

Friend of mine sent me a link to this article:

Just as free-market capitalists believe in the invisible hand of the market, so Dataists believe in the invisible hand of the dataflow. As the global data-processing system becomes all-knowing and all-powerful, so connecting to the system becomes the source of all meaning. The new motto says: “If you experience something — record it. If you record something — upload it. If you upload something — share it.”

It's a great read!

3 Visual analytics 

Uber have people creating this stuff. AMAZING!! And somehow, beautiful. Go figure.

4 Movies still matter
(In case you were wondering). I love reading about movies vs so called 'quality' TV. The New Yorker had this to say.

5 I wish my teacher knew...

Wow! These answers are sobering. I'm a teacher and I don't tend to allow educational matters to creep into this blog (I have another blog for that) but this one deserves a wider reach.

Overtime: Vision mixer extraordinaire. Whatters mentioned this on his blog and he's right - it's an awesome behind the scenes look at a vision mix of Cuba Gooding Jnr's Academy Award acceptance speech in 1996. Great stuff!!

(Sidebar - I also found Tom Cruise's body language VERY interesting)
