  1. Exquisite Tweets from @ftrain, @thelancearthur

    Lovely little improvised text adventure. (via @blech)

  2. 34 People You Probably Didn’t Know Were On Seinfeld

    I still don’t recognise a whole bunch of these. But the other night I noticed A.J. Langer, Rayanne off of ‘My So-Called Life’, looking much more grown-up than in MSCL, which was only a year or so earlier. The suit helped. (via Kottke)

  3. Underworld’s brief to ‘frighten people’ at the London 2012 opening ceremony | Music | The Guardian

    “The contrast between this summer’s two uber-spectaculars – the diamond jubilee concert and the Olympics opening ceremony – couldn’t be starker.” Yes, it felt like we’ve moved on from big events requiring 1980s musicians. (via Blech)

  4. London 2012: Danny Boyle’s story of Britain was a celebration of freedom | Shami Chakrabarti | Comment is free | The Guardian

    “Humility”, “democratic”, “optimistic”. Words Shami Chakrabsti uses in association with Danny Boyle, which also help explain the appeal of the Ceremony itself. (via Alex Balfour)

    @iamdanw I always think the Vanmoof bikes look Muji-esque. But never sure if I like them, or if they’re “affordable”. bit.ly/NPgY0w
