Pathing.

• The Presenter's Paradox. <<== Read this.
• ...and why it makes me feel particularly uneasy.
• An argument for generalists in business.
• A brilliant Kickstarter campaign to make a batch of potato salad. Also fun, Google Trends data for "potato salad" :)

Building.

• 3D printed makeup (obviously, right?).
• Hampton Creek, the veggie mayo company, hired Google data guy Dan Zigmond.
• Broad Sustainable Building - a Chinese engineering & contracting firm working on prefab skyscrapers - is *really* ambitious.
• Apple is (apparently) trying to make Siri as good as its (her?) competition.
• Xiaomi sold as many phones in the first half of 2014 as they did in all of 2013.

Logistics.

• A health clinic network in North Carolina is using patients' credit card data to better understand their health.
• If you haven't played the Google Streetview game yet, get on it.
• A team at Yahoo is working to generate directions that maximize the experience - as opposed to minimizing the distance.

Reflecting.

• Larry Page on the effects of the ~4yr CEO turnover rate.
• Progress on Google Loon.
• How many photos have ever been taken?
• Google's artview robots, caught taking selfies in museum mirrors.

Stuff that doesn't fit into my dumb/arbitrary categories.

• The Wikipedia page for Bacon Roll. If anyone in NYC wants to collabo on a Fools Gold Loaf, holler at me.
• Victorian mothers used to camouflage themselves and hide creepily with their babies, so that they would stay still while having their photos taken.

And.

Jon Rafman's "9-eyes"(images found on Google Streetview) - is totally nuts.
