Little Bits Of Light

By the time you’re reading this, I’m fast asleep in Montreal, about to wake up, wander a spell, then get ready to photograph a wedding tomorrow. If there’s anything we absolutely cannot miss here, make sure you toss it into the comments, yeah? On to the links.

Here’s the scoop, kids:

1. You’re Never To Old To Feel Excited, Inspired, and Alive - Age is a number, and dammit, only that. You’re never too old to open new chapters, to feel the rush of life again, to feel curious, and alive, and inspired. This article is about precisely that, and it’s vital reading. Dive in, absorb, respond accordingly. Please.

2. How Much IS A Smidgen? - Or a dollop, or a pinch? Ever wonder about this? I have, I wonder about weird crap like this literally always, so this little article about the origin of weird forms of measurement really tickled my fancy. Worth a read, if you are at all like me, and wondered too.

3. 5 Tips To Be More Curious - As I said in #1, you’re never too old to be more of a lot of things, and one of those is curious. I think, I’ve always thought, true curiosity, is one of the most vital traits to a happy life. This article agrees, and offers 5 tips on how to be more so. Dig it.

4. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Trailer - Say whatever you want about Tom Cruise and his weird ass belief system, about whatever you want about him, but I will stand by this: The dude makes entertaining movies that I’m sorry, I just won’t miss. If that dents my karmic balance in anyway, I’ll make up for it in some other way, cause dammit, they are fucking fun. I cannot wait for this one.

5. An EV Charging…HIGHWAY!? - Well leave it to the Swedes to do something just f’ing awesome….yeah, like a road that charges your car as you drive? Yeah, like a road that can literally RECHARGE your electric vehicle?! Why isn’t this tech everywhere, spaced out perfectly, so we never have to stop and charge for hours at a time? Why indeed. Rad news this, and hopefully it inspires much more.

6. The Fall by Gregory Alan Isakov - My brother from another mother, Gregory Alan Isakov, has a new single out, from his forthcoming new record, and it’s SO rad hearing him share new tunes again. I love you buddy. Congrats on this gem.

7. Typewriter Series Insanity - More crap, same Tyler.
