Thursday linkfest
- Baby boomers vs. Generation Y. Interesting post comparing birthrates of two generations and two nations: The U.S. and the UK.
- Timelapsed trip through the Panama Canal. I’m always a sucker for a good time lapsed video, especially involving super amazing construction projects.
- What scientific papers really mean. I really hate the writing style common in academic papers. This little comic gem translates what paper author’s are really saying.
- Whitespace by example. There’s a great comparison here of two different ways to present the same ad, and the differ mostly by how they use whitespace. Illustrates the basic idea better than any essay could.
- Literary deathmatch: The Brothers Karamazov. Among other cool things to be found at cecil vortex, such as great interviews with real creatives, is a little program for getting people to read intimidating classics. Up right now is the Brother’s Karamazov.
- Ignite video about Cup Noodle. First, I love ignite videos. Second, the story of Cup Noodle is awesome. Third there is an amazing comic book about the history of Cup Noodle.
