How could you not be a fan of both these guys? Seinfeld and Oliver go at it in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. 4 Rogue One
Ooweee baby!!! 5 Be here now
I like many of the ideas in this post - about being in the moment - mindfulness. Overtime: Why? Finally this week - just a lovely piece on finding your why. Oliver's Army Here's an example of Oliver's brilliance:
The Juno orbiter has sent back this photo. From Jupiter!!!! Not a computerised, this might be what Jupiter looks like, image. No. A photo! Of Jupiter!!! Wow! You can read more about it here. 2 Anticipation Carly Simon knew about this a long time ago but this is still fun to read about - the anticipation before an event... 3 Rogue One I haven't included too much Star Wars stuff of late. Sorry. This update on Rogue One and teaser should ease the pain. 4 Cancel 2016
I'm a glass half full kind of guy (as you know) but even I'm getting beat down a little by the first half of 2016. Nice article by Kimberly Harrington sums up the feelings well. 5 The benefits of writing I feel good writing daily. Here's why. Overtime Bill Murray's Ghostbuster IIIwill he? won't he? is a fabulous read.
Like so many on planet Earth, I am an Obama fan. Unlike Barack, I have always carved out my alone time in the morning. Whenever it's carved out, it's important. Getting a peak into his routines is pretty cool. 2 Proxemics explained Great little video from Vox on personal space bubbles as studied by Edward T. Hall. 3 OMG
Bobcat on a cactus! How did that happen (thanks to JW for the link). 4 Arsenal in Aussie
Adam (pictured - thanks Ashleigh) sent me this - pretty cool - Aussie tour by the greatest team the world has ever seen! 5 Bill Murray An overview of Bill's appeal is always good fun.
Overtime Great video of Lennon doing Imagine live.
Joseph Campbell had it right - the hero has a thousand faces. Nice medium.com update on what makes a hero. 2 John Oliver Has become widely known and admired for his own satirical TV show. Here he is explaining English football to David Letterman. Hilarious!
3 Seth Godin Yes, more groovy messages from Seth. This one is about the signals we send. Reminded me of the Jerry moment.
4 Hollywood and movie sequels They are mostly bad bad bad and here's why.
5 Legend of Tarzan
I grew up with Tarzan on the TV, in one of my favourite comics and on the big screen. I'm a fan. Fingers crossed for this latest version!
Overtime
Speaking of heroes - here's another one fer yer - I loved reading the Robert E. Howard Conan books when I was younger. Looks like a reboot is happening with Conan as well.
Same fingers are crossed coz Conan has been poorly treated at the movies (and I'm an Arnie fan!).
Do they all look the same? 2 Body tells Nice piece this on some of the ways our body lets us down without saying a word. I am very much a WYSIWYG person and an open book! 3 The other side of fear
Another short read: this one is in the inspirational reading category on not letting pain and fear stop you from pursuing everything you want in life. 4 Seth Godin
I'm enjoying my daily dose of wisdom from Seth's blog. This edition was titled Shields upand may surprise you! 5 Matt Muir's Imperica Thanks to a brilliant Olgilvy Blaze Radio thingcast ('cept what's with the annoying piddly music guys??) from James Whatley I found this from Matt Muir. Holy sugar honey iced tea!! It's pretty cool!! Overtime Ha ha Boris! What's that sound? Oh yeah - chickens flapping their way homeward. Britain and Westeros are taking on too many similarities for comfort of late. Great read on the treacherous side of UK politics.
Jerry Seinfeld is a regular visitor to these pages. He has season 8 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee out (soon? now? not sure). If you've never seen any (!!!!) go to YouTube right now and treat yourself. 2 Tim's views Thanks to a link from James Whatley - here's a series of photos from Tim's view aboard the space station. 3 PM Dawn RIP Attrell. 4 Rowan and Elton Hilarious YouTube clip has Rowan Atkinson interviewing Elton John.
5 Welcome to a scary world...
Vantage have some great photography stories. This one is slightly creepy/ scary though - it details the strange world created by Mark Hogancamp who was attacked outside a bar in Kingston, NY. After coming out of a coma, Hogancamp created his own recovery therapy in his backyard — a miniature Belgian WWII town called Marwencol where Hogancamp can work on his dexterity and on his imagination. Overtime: Pixar All seventeen of the Pixar movies rated! Your life is now complete!
I think I've always been in love with Grace. She is so wonderful, so talented, so funny, with such a beautiful spirit. You get a sense of it as she discusses writing White Rabbit.
2 A movie written by algorithm Hmm - not sure what I think about this - Sunspring is a sci-fi movie written by artificial intelligence. Definitely fits into 'senses working overtime', though. 3 Girl squad This NY Times 'report' on the Hillary Clinton/ Liz Warren meeting is hilarious!! I wish I could write clever stuff like this. 4 Brain Pickings I love tuning into the more cerebral delights of Brain Pickings. This latest piece on reading centres attention on Hermann Hesse in a stunning way! 5 Ellen's set
I saw this picture on my Twitter feed and while it didn't inspire me to go to the link, it did make me admire the set: the white square seating (which allows the humans to float via their darker clothing); the contrasting natural textures of the (fake?) wooden coffee table with book/(fake?) flowers/coffee mugs (not cups); fake cityscape with palm trees projected onto the big screen behind her; the highly polished floor. All gleaming, all fake warmth or fake expanse. It's actually really really well done! Overtime Song of the week and, yes, I love Steven Wilson's stuff: Lazurus by Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree:
