I think I'm finally getting the hang of this twitter thing. I used to think it impossible to get your point across in just 140 characters bu
New Zealand Landscapes Timelapse Volume Two
This timelapse features my best work yet. It represents hours and hours of dedication to the art. I’m driven by chasing fleeting moments of damatic light on beautiful landscapes and also capturing the night sky and milky way in all it’s glory is a real buzz. Not be mention curling up out under the stars beside all the gear for whole nights at a time catching some sleep here and there between checking the gear and changing batteries and staring up into eternity with spectacular meteors burning up in the cosmic shore out the corner of your eye. Doing this sort of thing has bought me closer and closer to the wilderness. There is something about doing this sort of stuff that just makes you want to keep coming back for more and more. Maybe it’s the experience of being out there at one with the incredible beauty of this landscape. Maybe it’s the challenge of capturing it in the camera in the way that you witnessed it. Maybe it’s the excitement of seeing just what you got when you finally render it all out. Maybe it’s the satisfaction you get out of showing this to other people. Most probably it’s a combination of all these things.
Visceral Apps and You
Rob Foster:
As humans, we also innately enjoy the release of built-up pressure. From a sheet of large bubble wrap, to the cracking of knuckles to sneezing. We can’t help but love the release of pressure and energy.

Human Intervention as a Competitive Advantage
Derek Sivers:
When everyone else is trying to automate everything, using a little human intervention can be a competitive advantage.

A case for unrelenting optimism
Neil Kamireddy:
I’ve made a promise to myself to work with optimists as exclusively as I can over my career. It’s a form of compensation to me — I’d be willing to trade salary for a maker culture, any day.
Just When You Thought the Stupid Couldn’t Get Any Stupider
Uni Watch:
MLB already has game caps, BP caps, Elmer Fudd caps, St. Paddy’s Day caps, All-Star Game caps, World Series caps, throwback caps, futuristic caps, G.I. Joe caps, flag-desecration caps, wild card winner caps, division champion caps, league champion caps, World Series champion caps, snap-back caps, low-profile caps, distressed caps, and probably a few other caps I can’t think of right now.
Any reasonable person surveying this headwear landscape can only come to one possible conclusion: We need more motherfucking caps.

In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness.

Playing It Too Safe?
Wall Street Journal:
Some child-development experts and parents say decades of dumbed-down playgrounds, fueled by fears of litigation, concerns about injury and worrywart helicopter parents, have led to cookie-cutter equipment that offers little thrill. The result, they say, is that children are less compelled to play outside, potentially stunting emotional and physical development and exacerbating a nationwide epidemic of childhood obesity.
