Senses working overtime #148

1 Air NZ fashions



Fun look at the changing fashions for the trolley dol...er...cabin attendants from Air New Zealand.

2 Mike Woolgathering Sturm interview



I enjoy Mike's Woolgathering weekly newsletter (you can find a link to it here) and this interview was real and revealing. I like it that he's a real guy.

3 Yikes - Katie's story: broken dreams (and bones)



Human interest story - the flip side to medal success at the winter Olympics.

4 Lost In Space returns



As a kid I loved this original show. I have the reboot movie (it's pretty good actually) and I'm really looking forward to the new Netflix 10 episode reboot.  

5 Emma Gonzalez
She gets my vote - this powerful speech from a Florida student is worth your time. Incredibly Trump is calling for MORE guns and arming teachers. Have them kill the killers.

Clearly he doesn't get it.

And then there are these thought pieces by teachers: the best things I read about the Florida mass shooting part 1. And part 2. I'm a teacher. I can relate.

Senses working overtime #142

1 Oprah Winfrey is a beacon


Her speech to the Golden Globe award celebration deserves to be read by everyone with an interest in how humanity develops from this point onward. You need to read this!

2 Anticipation

I enjoyed this run down (get it?) of the movies we can expect in 2018. Ant Man vs The Wasp looks like a must see already! And then there's Han Solo. Fingers crossed.

3 Aussie birds of fire!
Ha - from the only in Australia bureau - birds that carry fire sticks to get their prey! 

4 360 of Seattle
Cool time lapse panorama of the Seattle skyline over three years.

5 Wabi Sabi
I like this idea

Extra Texture: Family of the Year (again)
Another spin for this great song!

Senses working overtime #68

1 Star Trek Beyond



The third movie in the reboot films is the first without J.J. Abrams and it's probably, according to this article, all the better for it. How is THAT possible??




2 Hillary Rodham
Wow - 47 years ago (that makes it 1969) Hillary Clinton (Rodham) gave a commencement speech as a student. It's a fascinating listening experience!

3 How a TV show is made
Using The Americans as an example, this is a rilly cool run down on the process from the good people at Vox. I'm a big fan of the show and it's fun getting a peek behind the (high pressured) scenes.

4 Stand by him



I'm also a fan of Wil Wheaton and his writing (and acting - he was Gordie in Stand By Me). This piece is about his reboot and 44th birthday and it's rilly cool!

5 ipod classic

I love mine - this guy does too!

Overtime
Jason Bourne is back and so is the shaky style of Paul Greenglass.
