No seriously, I used to be able to post notes on other people’s posts. I know it’s been a week or two since I’ve used you Tumblr, but I swear I’m not crazy. I feel so lost and alone. Sob.

Michael McDaniel & Jared Ficklin are designers at frog design, a firm in Austin, TX responsible for a multitude of products, from ovens to compost systems to apps to breast scanners. At this year’s TEDxAustin, the pair introduced their plan to re-invent urban mass transit through flying cars: high-flying gondolas running via cables stretched over cities — a little bit like ski lifts.
For more information on urban cable and The Wire, watch Michael and Jared’s entire talk, “A mass transport system in the sky” from TEDxAustin 2013.
This is idea is now being passed around Austin as fact that it’s happening. True? Or are we all just a little overexcited, like the time that artist drew a hypothetical Austin subway system and we all cried a little in delight.
Loving anything with Cvrches. Even though the v in their name is pretty ridiculous.

Yessssss. Finally a follow up to The Mother We Share. Can’t wait to see them at SXSW!
Tree Houses: Fairy Tale Castles in the Air is a 350-page tome that collects 50 diverse tree houses from around the globe.
Obviously me reblogging this post is mandatory.

Benjamin Kyle is a missing person, because he has amnesia and doesn’t know who he is and the government hasn’t been able to figure it out either. You may have already seen this 10 minute documentary about him — it’s been online for a bit and — but you probably haven’t seen this amazing pointilism portrait of Ben! OMG, let’s all go back to the drawing board, literally. But about the film: the lady who calls 911 after finding Ben is pretty chill for having just discovered a nearly-murdered person, but the 911 operator tells her to calm down anyway. It’s gotta be a reenactment, right?
So sad! I can’t believe how difficult it is to live without an identification card. Ridiculous.
A group of Estonian architects have built a trampoline walkway through a Russian forest.
Well this is unacceptable. Doesn’t he know he should be bouncing?

I love this. (Regardless of whether they’re sending iPads or Motorola Xoom tablets, of course)
Most of us were not raised to think kids can learn on their own. But even if you were raised to think kids can teach themselves, you will be shocked to hear about the kids in Ethiopia. MIT chose a remote, illiterate community to send some first-graders a box of iPads. Unopened. One person in the community was taught how to recharge the iPads. That’s all anyone knew about the iPads. Within a month, the kids could read English and within three months, the kids had hacked the iPad to make the camera work even though someone at MIT had disabled the cameras.
