The Internet is Full of Interesting Things

Another new Pomplamoose Tune
Generally speaking, I'm just about always on the lookout for my next musical obsession. Usually that comes in the form of an album bought an iTunes. Not today. Seriously, these YouTube celebs are absolute genius. We see big things in their future. Here's their latest.

Interestingness (and other 21st century skills to teach your kids)
The genius that is a color that is a man called Chartreuse gives a rundown of some interesting folks to follow on twitter in a way that only he can.

The Worst 5 Sky Mall Products
From Brian over at Ask a Copywriter. My favorite, the Pet's Observation Porthole. Yeah, literally.

Growing Good Creatives
Gavin and Kris let us in on the secret of their own genius. Creativity is juice to be harvested. A little creative juice would be a welcome addition to one of these late-night work sessions.

Sleeveface
Like LoLcats, but with more sleeveface.

Moda di Magno
Lovely Lori makes another appearance as an Etsy showcase, and for good reason. She supplied a couple happy gift giving experiences for me already!

The End of the Scientific Method
Does the deluge of information render the scientific method basically obsolete? Does it just make more sense to get better at reacting and classifying information rather than trying to predict it? Interesting argument...

The Design of Everyday Things
"Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault lies in product design that ignore the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. A bestseller in the United States, this bible on the cognitive aspects of design contains examples of both good and bad design and simple rules that designers can use to improve the usability of objects as diverse as cars, computers, doors, and telephones."

Being inspired is one way to think outside of the box. For me Being noticed by being different works the best. Everyone has made a better pizza, cola and beer.....so whats left.....we have to make a different pizza, cola and beer. I mean there are loads of celebrity singers out there.....and people don't care because they're not that great.....but they do get noticed because they market themselves as different not better.
