NSFW Trailer for a special Sigur Rós movie night in Paris, this Saturday (Nov. 28th).
You remember that epic clip from the Daily Show when Rob Riggle goes to Berkeley to talk to a bunch of hippies who are trying to shut down a US Marines recruiting station? And in the middle of an interview has to leave and crashes through a wall screaming “HIPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIES!” because he can’t take it anymore?
That’s how I feel when I watch this.
(Don’t get me wrong. I love the music of Sigur Ros. But come on. The Sixties ended a long time ago.)
WANT: Käsch sunken baths:
“The Overflow bathtub series is designed in such a way that overflowing water is directed back into the tub which gives the bath the appearance of a natural waterhole. The concept resulted from the wish to combine the aesthetics of nature with the cultic character of bathing, and to give space to the element water in order to allow for all its possibilities. When flowing, it creates reflections in the interplay with light and new experiences associated with its sound. Man’s contact with the element water is intensified. Overflow understands itself as part of a bathing culture intent on naturalness, accentuating both meditative and stimulating elements in the bathroom.”

But it’s kinda crazy that I can run the google voice app on a new Verizon Blackberry and not on an iPhone.
Verizon has historically been hostile to third party services. While Apple iPhone was supposed to be the best mobile platform for third party developers.
BijanAs anyone who’s ever been there or visited will attest, in Silicon Valley everyone is working *all of the time*.
And while this might seem unhealthy, not scalable, obsessive, manic or simply ridiculous, from an ecoystem perspective it’s basically unbeatable. If you want to build companes and ride the wave of innovation, it’s a 24/7 preoccupation — not just a lifestyle business. By contrast, I am in London-based startups’ offices all the time and I am gobsmacked when they are nearly empty by 6:30 PM.
Where is the sense of urgency? Where is the need for speed? Where is the competitive and insanely obsessive drive to “kick ass” and kill the competition, status quo or the incumbent corporates?
