Recap for Week 16 of 2014 (Omnibus XVI 2014)
- Loyalty is a virtue. Unless it involves insurance companies.
- Wolf loves belly rubs.
- Cherry blossom seeds were brought to the ISS for eight months. When they returned to earth and were planted, they blossomed six years early. Scientists theorize cosmic rays may have been the cause. Comic book geeks hope cosmic rays were the cause.
- Disney geeks have a theory that Frozen, Tangled and The Little Mermaid are all in the same world. They offer more evidence than seeing them walk around Disney World.
- Imagine 14 keys spread around the world that would reset the internet. Now stop imagining it. Good job, you imagined them into existence.
- Rachel Feltmen wore 4 fitness trackers to test their utility. In her article for Quartz, it turns out they're not very useful.
- Just breathe deep. All the time!
- That's all for this week. Play nice.

The Giver [Film Trailer]
Not hating on this film, I'm glad it's giving some attention to this story (as if every 12 year old reading it wasn't attention enough) and it looks like it'll do a good job adapting the story, but I'd rather read the book again.
Joe [Film Trailer]
It took me half the trailer to take Nic Cage seriously in this (thanks, Ghost Rider and every other Nic Cage movie from the last decade), but after I did, I got interested. What did you do, Joe?

Recap for Week 15 of 2014 (Omnibus XV 2014)
- Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart are the coolest dudes that ever lived.
- There has to be a way to segue Ian Mack and Stewpat with Shakespeare. There just has to be...
- Sometimes album covers are photographed from actual places. Google Maps has photographs of actual places. Now there's a Street View/Album Cover mashup. I'm surprised this wasn't done sooner.
- Why is America 31st in the world for internet speed? Because capitalism works.
- At least our Wifi speeds will improve.Give it a few years before it becomes affordable though.
- Death happens. This is what happens to your body when that happens.
- Some pictures (not all selfies), are worth 1000 words.
- Firefly forever.
- That's all for this week. Get out more.

Recap for Week 14 of 2014 (Omnibus XIV 2014)
- Researchers believe they found the reason zebras have stripes. Not for camouflage (still, it's good camouflage) but, like the reason humans don't have fur, to keep away those filthy bugs.
- Snake Island, Brazil.
- On the topic of nature (I was on that topic?), here's what I looked at today.
- While watching a movie, if you've ever thought, "I've seen this before", you're more right than your cynical mind could imagine.
- Manhole cover art is like Ninja Turtle doormats.
- Jump around, jump around, jump up, jump up and get stronger bones.
- That's all I have for this week. Play it forward.
