Art But Make It Sports

The last good account on Twitter (non-Die, Workwear! division). Incredible work from one man.

Relay FM / St. Jude

Every year Relay FM spends all of September (Childhood Cancer Awareness Month) raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year they’ve already passed $560,000 on their way to their goal of $700,000. In five years they’ve raised over $3m. Here’s Stephen explaining why they do it.

Seeing America by Train

Earlier this year I had the privilege of visiting Italy, Switzerland, and France, primarily by train. Other than some track sabotage in France that did not affect us, everything was lovely. Zero issues with trains arriving on schedule. Various levels of cleanliness and speed but overall quite effective.

Count me firmly in the camp of improved public transit in America, particularly high-speed trains — even with the promise of more sophisticated and accessible autonomous air and ground transport allegedly coming soon. It would be incredible to be able to travel the country with anything resembling the convenience of getting from Rome to Milan to Zurich to Paris in 10 hours.

Side note: I can’t recommend The Man in Seat 61 enough if you need to know anything train-related for Europe. Invaluable resource.

Gamebaby iPhone Case

While we’re partial to Cotton Bureau phone cases, we can’t deny this retro case from Bitmo Lab looks like a ton of fun if you are into the newly-App-Store-approved game emulators.
