A good bookstore anchors its local community. That’s why Powell’s new anchor T-shirt… Oh, please! Our anchor T-shirt has no special symbolic value. It just looks good, like a blue dog with three heads flying on bat wings through a ferocious storm, or a pale princess guarding a magic orb at the bottom of an icy lake.

fastcompany:

A new app uses the power of your own positive thinking to create a placebo effect—which works even if you know it’s happening.

You start by setting a goal: say, more joy or love in your life. Then, you choose someone to give you the placebo (maybe a friend or family member), what you want it to be (a pill, say), and where you want to take it (maybe a forest where you go running with a friend). You then “take” the placebo whenever you want to, following a pre-set ritual built into the app.

The point is to replicate what’s important about the placebo effect, which isn’t the pill itself, but the experience.

rollingstone:

Thirty three years ago today, the music world lost one of its most unique and powerful young voices when Ian Curtis, lead singer and songwriter of Joy Division, committed suicide just hours before the Manchester, U.K. band was scheduled to depart for their first tour of North America. In their short run, Joy Division left behind two classic albums that bridged the gap between punk and new wave: 1979’s Unknown Pleasures and 1980’s Closer, both masterpieces of a dark, gloomy style of rock dubbed the Manchester Sound.

The Meopta Stereo 35 aka The View-Master Camera

In my junior year of college, I had a crazy idea for a project for my directed study class. I wanted to create my own view-master reels, and to my surprise a view-master camera not only existed, but was available for purchase. Everything about this camera was a difficult trial and error challenge, but the end results are a one of a kind gem.

It’s bike to work day!

ARIZONA, 05/1972

Terry Eiler, photographer. From the EPA’s DOCUMERICA series.

(More items from DOCUMERICA are currently on exhibit at the National Archives: “Searching for the Seventies: The DOCUMERICA Photography Project”)

Unfortunately the caption doesn’t tell us much, but we know this smart cyclist remembered his helmet!

Did you bike to work? Tandem? Recumbent? Bikeshare?
