Life is just better here. I can consolidate myself into quotes, groups and pictures. I can form opinions of people before I ever get the chance to meet them (…). I stake claim to a virtual wall, replete with emoticons and one dollar gifts. I am able to compulsively keep track of everyone I have ever encountered and turn them into my friends.
[The tangible world is cruel.](…) I realize that communication is a tedious and elaborate process that requires good hygiene, presentation and social skills.

“Qual é o peso real da informação?” terá um dia perguntado Silke Hilsing aos seus botões. A pergunta ecoou de tal forma na cabeça do criativo Alemão, que deu eventualmente origem ao projecto virtualgravity, um interface que não só responde directamente à referida questão, como também faz a ponte entre o mundo virtual e o mundo real.
Por intermédio de cursores analógicos, o sistema permite seleccionar e transportar palavras-chave do computador até uma balança, que mede a sua popularidade e importância relativas (ali representadas como unidades de peso).

I joined these strangers in a bubble of unexpected, collective happiness.
What can this bubble tell us about happiness and economics? Quite a lot. (…)

We had an idea. Go to a place. Ask fifty people the same question. Film their responses.
White people like to make the most of their free time, but many of them discovered that time doing yoga was time away from their dog and time with their dog was time away from yoga. It was becoming a fairly significant problem. Thankfully, Doga has been created to allow white people to combine two of their favorite things into one expensive, time consuming activity called Doga or dog yoga.

I started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that I saw on the streets of New York that I thought looked great.
