When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket.

Nikola Tesla, January 30, 1926 (via inthenoosphere)

Long flights means a bunch of pretty enjoyable movies on the planes to get my fill for the next few months of no movies.

In Bed with Victoria (I’m curious about the director now – Justine Triet)

Fai Bei Sogni (Sweet Dreams), which was utterly heartbreaking

Primaire

And the very weird and very German We Are the Tide

The artwork at this client is probably the most interesting I’ve ever seen anywhere.

Pretty much all of the work is interesting, challenging and self-reflective, clearly chosen for something other than aesthetic value or inoffensiveness – especially considering it is an investment company.

@misspod Tomorrow is the last day – but it will be the inside of the office again, and then the airport. It will not smell like mountains, nor will it smell like the sea, it will smell like any airconditioned office anywhere in the world. Mountains here smell like fynbos, that is, small but very aromatic plants that grow there. Apparently, Cape’s flora is so unique that it was classified into its own floral kingdom, found nowhere else in the world, with flowers like proteas, erikas, etc. Walking in these mountains is like being on another planet. And it’s winter here, too!
