Senses working overtime #80

1 Less is more


Three's a crowd
Apparently, having less friends is  a good thing. A worthwhile p.o.v. if you ask me. This article looks at the correlation between Facebook use and loneliness.

2 Wild life



A great spread - the top wild life photos of 2016.

3 Mara Wilson

Who? The star of Matilda! That's who. This is about her, and it's great!

4 Jimi
In Moebius (s)trip style. Whoa!!




5 Apple

I'll need to find this book somewhere. In the meantime - this excerpt gets the apple juices flowing nicely.

Overtime
Please please please...fanvid to one of my favourite Smiths' songs

1 In Arsene we trust


My happy place!
Great piece about Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, the man.

2 Google map treks
Been exploring this during the week. Some wonderful technology, great sights and use is only limited by your imagination.

3 Burj Khalifa


While exploring the Google maps trek I came across this one on the Burj Khalifa, a.k.a. the world's tallest building. Amazing scenes!

4 Time travel photos
This is a great photo essay looking at some urban locations over time.

5 Bill
More reasons to love and appreciate Bill Murray.

Overtime



So sue me, I'm a sucker for photos of old buildings.

1 And...ACTION!



As part of his rundown on the best action movies of every year since 1986, Tom Breihan looks at Aliens

2 The education divide
Great Guardian piece on...well - everything that is important. The move against 'experts' and the educated. Sobering! Shocking!

3 Train wrecks...
...are endlessly fascinating. I'm particularly fascinated by the self-immolation going on in the Republican Party (the GOP) in the great U.S.A.

4 Alternative universe
Great infographic maps the alt rock history universe.

5  Aleppo


Drone footage of Aleppo. The operation was a success but unfortunately the patient died.

Overtime
Excellent parody of Trump/Clinton debate as they 'sing' together.

1 Susan Cooper...

...is a genius. She's like a better Scott Adams without all the personal baggage. I love her and you will too when you read this!

2 SF vs LA
I'm a huge fan of SF, but one of my close friends is equally enthusiastic about LA. This article provides some back up...for LA. Doh!

3 Impromptu heroism



Cool look via some iconic movies at how to be an impromptu hero!

4 Calendar girl
Enjoyed this article about the adoption of our Gregorian calendar.

5 Distractions



Nice (long) read on why we get distracted and how to resist it.

Overtime: The Beatles!!!!
I enjoyed this article about Ed Sullivan and The Beatles and why this couldn't ever happen again - written by someone born after Lennon died!

1 This photo



Great deconstruction of a troubling image.

2 Zach meats Hilary (sick)
This interview by Zach Galifianakis is hilarious!!!

3 Alex
Six year old Alex wrote a letter to President Obama. Look and learn.



4 Indiana wants me
Great animation from a fan celebrates Indiana Jones.



5 Open letter to John Mayer
Ok yes, I'm a fan. But this tickled my fancy.

Overtime

Thirtysomething was a show I loved in the eighties when I was...uh...thirtysomething. Recently I bought the box sets and started at Season One (durr), which I don't believe I ever saw - I'm pretty sure I got on board at season 2 or 3.

And you know what - now that I'm Fiftysomething, I still love it (even looking back at eighties fashions and hair styles was great).
