Stuff I like
These are little snippets from the internet that I've recently enjoyed. I've split my posts about mobile, attention data and other aspects of the future of the web into New Cartographer.
I love winter as much as I love summer. Without one the other is only half as fun. Bring on the hot chocolate, the fuzzy boots, the layers, the fireplaces, the fogged up windows, the hats and mittens, and the snow days - just don’t bring them on yet because I’m not quite done with summer. via watcheroftheskies

Tumblr Feature Request: Others Posting This
It would be real nifty if tumblr had a ‘others blogging this’ feature. Whenever you post a link it could tell you who else has, similar to reblogging only you wouldnt have to have reblogged them.
“For his student generation is a singular one, at least in my experience of 30 or so years teaching: Its members have a spectacular hunger for life and more life. They want to study, travel, make friends, make more friends, read everything (superfast), take in all the movies, listen to every hot band, keep up with everyone they’ve ever known. And there’s something else, too, that distinguishes them: They live to multiply possibilities. They’re enemies of closure. For as much as they want to do and actually manage to do, they always strive to keep their options open, never to shut possibilities down before they have to”
