Adele: Tiny Desk Concert

Also: The science behind why Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ makes everyone cry.

I’m not a big pop music kinda guy, so Adele didn’t land on my radar until last week. But the tiny desk concerts at NPR are seriously the best thing ever, and I watch all of them, so I finally got to really hear her sing for the first time just now. I love her voice, and I love how happy she is to be performing. If you’ve got 15 minutes to spare today, you may want to check this out.

a couple of people have told me off today for continuing to express my opinions. they’ve said that it’s “annoying”, and that I “attack” anyone with an opposing view to my own.

firstly, this is all in response to me talking about sexual harassment and rape…

cassandracroft:

Yes, there is a sword in my hand. Yes, I am standing in the snow.

Oh… And yes I am wearing a bathing suit…

Look forward to this video.

Can’t wait for this!

Last week I was looking at the video for 500 Miles on YouTube and the top comment was “Thumbs up if How I Met Your Mother brought you here!” The second top comment was “Thumbs up if 1993 brought you here.” I clicked the second thumb.

TIMEMAPS

Due to the good public transportation in the Netherlands distance has become irrelevant. We can reach almost any destination by train easily and relatively quick. In our busy lives we now think in time rather than distance. Therefore the current maps, as we know them today, are obsolete. Thinking in time affects a map and hence the shape of the Netherlands also depending on the perspective from which we look. From the perspective of Eindhoven, for instance, the Netherlands is relatively small because of the quick and easy connections to other cities. At the same time, seen from a more remote and small village such as Stavoren the Netherlands is much bigger. Not only the location from which one looks, or travels, but the hour of the day is very important. At night the map will expand because there are no night trains and in the morning it will shrink once trains will commence their schedules. The map of the Netherlands will never be the same again. 


This short movie shows a quick demo of TIMEMAPS and how the map will shrink and grow during 24hours in Eindhoven.
