You’re awesome if you share the signup-form (http://eepurl.com/IHVrb) or forward this email to a friend who you think this could make his/her day! Here’s this months list: * Ithkuil (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/12/24/121224fa_fact_foer?currentPage=all) is a language developed to be as sparse but complete as possible. But the story on the development is the most interesting! * The Feynman Lectures on Physics (http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/) are now hosted online by Caltech, a must watch! * I always wondered why japanese website aren’t that beautifully designed… And I found the answer of this awesome blog. (http://randomwire.com/why-japanese-web-design-is-so-different/) Randomwire is a must-read if you are curious about the japanese culture. * The SeaOrbiter (http://www.fastcoexist.com/3021938/fund-this/this-starship-enterprise-of-the-sea-will-launch-its-exploration-in-2016) is a curious shaped vessel that’s bound for the ocean. It provides a place for researchers in the deep see. I can’t wait for the new discoveries that come from this. * #algopop. (http://algopop.tumblr.com/post/68361297118/john-matrix-is-the-spotify-hit-artist-created-by) Ever wondered how much algorithms are present in our current life? This blog aims to collect algorithms in popular culture. (spoiler: It’s a lot!) Here’s an example of how sorting algorithms work. (http://kottke.org/13/11/sorting-algorithms-visualized) * If you’re as interested into data as I am, commandline-lifelogger (https://github.com/adamchainz/lifelogger) could be a nice tool for you! * I visited New York 2 months ago, but missed out on this bookstore (http://omnireboot.jerrickventures.com/features/cloud-books/) ! * A Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/393053146/powerup-30-smartphone-controlled-paper-airplane) no words, just fund it! * This is an interesting experiment by a freelancer that hacked his hourly rate. (http://www.fastcolabs.com/3021904/open-company/how-this-freelancer-hacked-his-hourly-rate) I might try it too, and why shouldn’t you? * Honey (http://blog.sethroberts.net/2013/11/29/why-does-bedtime-honey-improve-sleep-helpful-data/) seems to improve the amount of time I spend snoozing… * And I’ve been eating this some of my recent mornings: bananas (http://lifehacker.com/make-two-ingredient-banana-pancakes-for-a-fun-and-easy-1467914794) * The godfather of infographics (http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/11/20/fritz-kahn-taschen/) , and how much I love the style of his art. * Closing, keep track of the small houses movement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_house_movement) : The Hermit Houses (http://www.hermithouses.nl/) a crowdfunded small house movement from the Netherlands.
