We hear the highlight of the Critics’ Choice event was Newton-bred “Office” actor John Krasinski and Burlington-bred Amy Poehler’s tribute to the late John Hughes, which featured the comedy stars dressed as Jon Cryer and Molly Ringwald’s characters from the Hughes classic “Pretty in Pink.’’ Death Cab for Cutie followed their presentation with a live cover of the Simple Minds hit from Hughes’s “The Breakfast Club,’’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me).’’

Vision is our most dominant sense. It takes up 50% of our brain’s resources. And despite the visual nature of text, pictures are actually a superior and more efficient delivery mechanism for information. In neurology, this is called the ‘pictorial superiority effect’ […] If I present information to you orally, you’ll probably only remember about 10% 72 hours after exposure, but if I add a picture, recall soars to 65%. So we are hard-wired to find visualization more compelling than a spreadsheet, a speech of a memo. (via Chart Wars: The Steering Power of Data Visualization | Brain Pickings

refinery29 posted the above image upon announcing that jimmy choo and ugg australia would be collaborating. all i could think of was, “oh god, oh dear god,” which means that i am horrified. i will admit that, yes, i do own uggs (3 pairs, only one of which looks like their signature boot), but this needs to stop.
uggs will never be chic. they just won’t. they look like house-slippers that ate too much at the chinese buffet. granted, the jimmy choo hunter “wellington” boot was a work of art, but for real, if the imagined compilation becomes reality, then i may need to step away from the fashion world for a little bit.

Futurist Peter Von Stackelberg created this massive, intricate timeline which details social, technological, economic and political events and trends from 1750 to 2100.
The designer explains: The purpose of the timeline is to provide a visual tool for looking at events across a relatively long period of time and identify patterns and interrelationships involving a broad range of factors. Identification of patterns is particularly important when attempting to look at the future of complex social, technological, economic, and other systems.
Download the timeline here.
