I came across London based DJ and producer Floating Points, real name Sam Shepard, and he’s quite an interesting fellow. Technically trained as a neuroscientist, interested specifically in genetics and pain, but he’s also a classically trained musician with a keen interest in jazz. I guess if you combine those interests together you may potentially get the incredible music that Floating Points creates.

What if it took you only 7 minutes to get a full body workout? That’s the claim of an article in the May-June issue of the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health & Fitness Journal, which shows the health benefits of doing the 12 exercises above in rapid succession.
Work by scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and other institutions shows, for instance, that even a few minutes of training at an intensity approaching your maximum capacity produces molecular changes within muscles comparable to those of several hours of running or bike riding.
I have yet to try this, but I think I’m going to start tonight. It sounds so easy, only 7 minutes, but the 7 minutes are meant to be grueling, like an 8 out of 10 on the uncomfortable scale. So I guess it’s a matter of preference, whether you’d go slow and steady or kill yourself in 7 seconds. Anyone else thinking about trying this out?

I’ve become recently acquainted with the work of London based illustrator and designer Spiros Halaris, and I’m a big fan of what I see. His illustration style reminds me of somewhere between Thomas Nagel and that video for A-Ha’s “Take On Me”, which I’m saying is a really good thing.

Finding the right balance between fashion and kitsch can be an eternal struggle. For example, could you imagine how cheesy it would be to put googly eyes on a bow tie? Well, you don’t have to imagine it because Jack Spade has made a Googly Eyes Bowtie, and I in fact this it’s pretty brilliant. It’s kind of ridiculous, but in the good way. Imagine how much attention you’d get by wearing this guy to work? I think more fancy outfits need playful elements like this, to keep fashion fun.

Movies set in space are cool, but actually being in space is the coolest. That’s why Commander Chris Hadfield is probably the coolest guy on eart… orbitting earth. Technically he’s now back on earth, but before you left the International Space Station he did what no other had done before: recorded a music video in space.
