    “Oh god, evolution, please stop doing that.”

    “What? It’s called ‘pronking.’ All the springbok are into it.”

    “I can’t take you anywhere.”

    I wish I could give you this feelin’, I’m pronkin’ on a million

    This is my spirit animal.

    Because when the grass comes back, I pretty much pronk too.

From their About page: Unstash is a peer-to-peer platform for collaborative consumption. In other words, we exist to facilitate and enhance the sharing experience. Every social circle has a huge overlap in consumer goods that don’t all need to be purchased, owned, and maintained by every individual. 62% of people state that they are interested in sharing consumer goods; they just haven’t had effective tools to do so, until now. We believe in access over ownership. With a laser focused vision on making sharing easy, fun, and social, we believe sharing can be the new shopping – while helping you save money, deepen relationships, and create a more sustainable future together. I really like ‘we live lightly and yet deeply’.

    The shapes seen in the image are about the size of a thumbnail. They are created by mixing ferrofluid with water color and putting it into a magnetic field. When put under a magnetic field iron particles in the ferrofluid solution start to rearrange, forming the black channels and separating the water colors from the ferrofluid.

    Some colorful ferrofluid goodness for your mid-week energy boost. Check out many more awesomely beautiful intersections of magnetism and art: My posts tagged “ferrofluids”

  10. n-e-way: futurejournalismproject: The Gender Gap in Election 2012 Media Sourcing A new infographic by the 4th Estate illustrates how significantly underrepresented women are in 2012 election coverage.  via 4thestate: In our analysis of news stories and transcripts from the past 6 months, men are much more likely to be quoted on their subjective insight in newspapers and on television. This pattern holds true across all major news outlets, as well as on issues specifically concerning women. For example, in front page articles about the 2012 election that mention abortion or birth control, men are 4 to 7 times more likely to be cited than women. This gender gap undermines the media’s credibility. How they did it: The 4th Estate collects data from a sampling of news stories from US national print outlets, TV broadcast and radio transcripts covering the 2012 election. These stories are contextually analyzed and broken down by topic, sentiment and newsmaker. The data for this graphic includes quotes and statements from newsmakers who provide subjective insight. Statements from candidates are not counted. The 4th Estate’s sister company, Global News Intelligence, provides similar proprietary services for government and Fortune 500 companies. cool
