Tu nous entends l’univers ? Tu nous entends ?

Si tu nous entends : attends nous, on arrive. On voudrait tout comprendre, tout savoir, tout vivre. On cherche la porte la porte du nouveau monde pour savoir s’y fondre en grand.

Personality of Parisian Neighborhoods Explored Through Typography
Yasha Wallin wrote in in Paris, Creativity and Animation

By now, we all know that Paris is a magical place—whether you’ve been there yourself or paid attention to the countless cultural homages to the city through movies, music, books, and art. While Paris’ personality is romanticized, if you dig deeper, each of the 20 Arrondissements, or neighborhoods, that make up this historical city have their own distinct voice. The Marais has longstanding ties to Parisian Jewish life, and today boasts trendy boutiques, art galleries, and the city’s biggest gay community; the Latin Quarter is bustling with students, cafes, and bars, while Oberkampf boasts more “unpredictable” nightlife; and if you visit Père Lachaise you’ll find the cemetery of the same name, forever home to The Doors’ Jim Morrison.

The creative agency Havas Worldwide Paris in collaboration with Flying V explored this varied iconography and characteristics of each area through this clever animation; depicting each hood through a typography based animation.

What’s your favorite neighborhood in Paris?

Trop fort.

A good reminder: vote for somebody.

Also, the video is great.

Wow, this WILL blow your mind.  Or prove you’re dead to the world (if your mind isn’t blown).

It’s Mensa Mind Challenge Month! To celebrate the life of the mind, here’s this amazing video.

And here’s Mensa’s 1st challenge: 

Challenge #1: We suggest telling someone else three cool things you’ve learned about the brain. Teaching others not only helps them, it helps solidify facts and abstract thoughts in one’s own mind. Give it a shot!

Hexaflexagons!!

Happy October! Behold this lovely tale of extra paper, folding fun, and the trans-dimensional colortastic geometric wow-fest that is the hexaflexagon!!

Can someone fold me a few of these and send ‘em over? That would be great. I fully endorse not paying attention in math class if you’re gonna do this instead.

This is unbelievable. 

Tumblr’s videos play on a loop and I can’t/don’t want to stop it on this one.

This is awesome.

Happy Monday y’all.

My Monday morning was spent watching some of the weekend’s commencement speeches… This was mine a few years ago at the grand ol’ University of Wisconsin-Madison.
