This month is delayed by 4 days, 12 hours and some big amount of beers. Excuse me for having a short holiday with excellent weather (http://instagram.com/p/magEBNgRkL/) !
Here’s this months list of things: * UPS figured out that making only right turns (http://priceonomics.com/why-ups-trucks-dont-turn-left/) is not only more efficient, but also safer. And they have the data to back it up! Even Mythbusters confirmed it. * I’m not into mathematics, but zero to the power zero (http://www.askamathematician.com/2010/12/q-what-does-00-zero-raised-to-the-zeroth-power-equal-why-do-mathematicians-and-high-school-teachers-disagree/) should be either 0 or 1. I’m still unsure. * I haven’t watched it, but The Grand Budapest Hotel (http://www.grandbudapesthotel.com/) by Wes Anderson seems like a pretty movie. I like the style! * I don’t know why more people didn’t think about an interchangeable battery pack (http://www.hypershop.com/HyperJuice/Expand/) for different types of devices. * The elegance (https://vimeo.com/36167291) of streetsigns by roadworkers. * Figuring out an algorithm to predict what art (http://artrank.com/) is going to be big next sound like a perfect example of technological solutionism to me. * It’s a shame they don’t ship to the Netherlands, but Mod Notebooks (http://modnotebooks.com/) is a product that I could use! * I read this article in one go earlier this month. It’s amazing how Disney (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/magazine/reaching-my-autistic-son-through-disney.html) could help. * Would you like to own a Joymaker (http://chronopause.com/chronopause.com/index.php/2012/02/25/three-strikes-and-youre-out/index.html) ? * This amazing video shows how a case for books (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPL3kJPsVdA) is made. * Makes me Hungry (http://pornburger.me/) . * A side project which never made it was a bamboo keyboard, but this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEEzQKJfNE0#t=204) seems like a worthy alternative to try!
