Global cities
A city where the total population of the world could live is smaller than I expected. But it would be rough to be stuck in cross-town traffic in a city of 6.9 billion people. (via Swissmiss)

Fall is in the air
One down side of living in South Florida is that even when the Fall months arrive, it is never this kind of Fall.

John Malcovich stars in famous photos
I’ve enjoyed John Malkovich on the big screen for years, but recently he’s taken his acting talents to a different medium–photography. Photographer Sandro Miller created Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to photographic masters, featuring the talented actor in a number of famous photos.
In 2013, Sandro decided to do a project honoring the men and women whose photographs helped shape his career. After selecting thirty-five images to emulate, Sandro contacted Malkovich, who instantly agreed to participate. When speaking about Malkovich, Sandro states: “John is the most brilliant, prolific person I know. His genius is unparalleled. I can suggest a mood or an idea and within moments, he literally morphs into the character right in front of my eyes. He is so trusting of my work and our process… I’m truly blessed to have him as my friend and collaborator.”

Watchmen and Frozen
While reading Alan Moore’s graphic novel, Watchmen, last night, I came across a scene that was painfully familiar. One of the main characters, Dr. Manhattan, had left earth as an outcast because he feared his powers were harming those closest to him. Alone on the desolate deserts of Mars, he constructs a crystal palace, and I thought, “I’ve seen this before.” This is the exact same thing that happens in Frozen.
I pointed it out to Gabi, and she also saw the similarities. Then I had the idea to overlay the lyrics from the Frozen Song over the artwork from the comic, estimating it would take about two hours to do it well. And I wanted to get started right away! However, since it was already 11:30 at night, Gabi persuaded me to do a quick Google search to see if this was already a thing.
Common misconceptions
Wikipedia’s list of common misconceptions is by no means complete or authroatative, but it is packed with tons of interesting–and well cited–factoids. This list is nearly as fun as the list of logical fallacies and the list of cognitive biases. (via Kottke.org)

Mesmerizing jello bounce
I don’t think I can find the words to describe what watching this does for me. Everything about it is just so satisfying. I could watch it again and again and again.

Gallup finds shifting views on morality
A recent Gallup poll shows new highs in acceptance of various morality issues.
The American public has become more tolerant on a number of moral issues, including premarital sex, embryonic stem cell research, and euthanasia. On a list of 19 major moral issues of the day, Americans express levels of moral acceptance that are as high or higher than in the past on 12 of them, a group that also encompasses social mores such as polygamy, having a child out of wedlock, and divorce.
