Animals on the underground

Interesting project. Some are v. fascinating some are barely distinguishable. You can see more animals at here. Maybe we can try with any other structures called “grid”??

MUTO by Blu

MUTO is a wall-painted animation by Blu. Since I first saw his film a couple of month ago I’m a big fan of his film. Here is (maybe) his latest one finished last winter. It is superb. I am curious about the whole process. Background music is nicely matching too.

Stumbling on Happiness

“If you want to buy happiness you are much better off buying an experience rather than a thing. That’s because a thing like a car, new clothes, or cool gadget will always wear down, break down over time, while an experience, like going to the Galapagos, or a great concert, will only improve over time. You’ll always have it (Paris, bunjee jumping, that meal) forever. In the long term an experience delivers more happiness per dollar.
Oh, and warm puppies (and children) are experiences, not things.”

Kevin Kelly’s phrasing of Daniel Gilbert, of “Stumbling on Happiness”
