Humor: 50 Nerds of Grey
Erotica for the discerning geek.
There's nothing sexier that nerdy talk... right until it's not. 50 Nerds of Grey is a hilarious Twitter account that parodies Fifty Shades of Grey in the tone of voice of Moss from The IT Crowd, and it takes nerdy talk to a whole new level. If you were a fan of The IT Crowd, you like it, and if you hated Fifty Shades of Grey, you'll love it even more.

Humor: Space Voldemort
Twitter user @gaileyfrey
(Burr Shot First) recently lost his Star Wars virginity in preparation for the release of The Force Awakens by watching the original trilogy. As she watched, she got behind her keyboard and
started live tweeting her reactions, which turned out to be hilarious.

Infographic: Frequently used Reddit Words
"Used PRAW to grab the top 1000 posts from the past year. Then used the wordcloud library to create the visualization. Removed common words using the 'stopwords' feature, else you would likely see words like "what, when, how" etc. [...] Image with no stop words. I can only find "What" in the word cloud."

Humor: Club of the Near Future
A friend of mine recently traveled to a film festival at which a nearby café was seating bloggers and social media journalists for a speaking engagement according to their relative "reach." I suspect that this is a trend that's going to gain traction in the future.

This 3D Printed Chess Set Was Designed to Teach Users How to Play Intuitively
The Atlantic recently ruffled some feathers when it argued that computer programmers shouldn’t call themselves engineers. “When it comes to skyscrapers and bridges and power plants and elevators and the like, engineering has been, and will continue to be, managed partly by professional standards, and partly by regulation around the expertise and duties of engineers. But fifty years’ worth of attempts to turn software development into a legitimate engineering practice have failed.”
I loved the Lord of the Rings movies but thought that the first Hobbit movie, which was a mess, albeit a slightly enjoyable mess. I’ve had little desire to watch the rest of the Hobbit series, though. And now, Peter Jackson confirms what we’ve always suspected: “Because Guillermo Del Toro had to leave and I jumped in and took over, we didn’t wind the clock back a year and a half… to design the movie, which was different to what he was doing… [A]s a result of it being impossible I just started shooting the movie with most of it not prepped at all.”
Jim Henson's early journals reveal some surprising back stories.

Short Film: Status
"Status" by Richard Williamson
Prints available for purchase from BigCartel. Etsy. Society6. StoreEnvy. US$
Social networking is taking over our lives. It’s inevitable. Australian
director Richard Williamson envisions a future in which social networking has transitioned out of the virtual world and into the
physical realm, operating straight out of our brains with a microchip that allows us to send and
receive messages by thought alone.
"Status" is a psychologically deep science fiction film that marries Her with The Walking Dead. It's an impressively well-written short film that steadily builds suspense from beginning to end.

"In the near future social networking has moved out of the virtual world and into the physical. A confronting portrait of a world we may soon know too well. Welcome to the evolution.
2018. The world is changing. Social networking sprawls far beyond desktop computers and iPhones: "Welcome to Statlink."
Live connected 24/7 through microchips inserted directly into your scull and nerves. Ultimate connection is yours. It is only a thought away. Welcome to a new world. Welcome to connection as you have never known. Welcome to the evolution of social networking."

Poetry: Look Up
Never before has the world been so interconnected. Never before have we, as a culture, been so isolated. There are a multitude of platforms to connect, stay in touch, and talk to people. And, yet all of these so-called social networks are distracting us from our real lives. Slam poet Gary Turk mourns the loss of a generation in his powerful new poem "Look Up."
"We're a generation of idiots. Smartphones and dumb people."

Mash-Up: Social Game of Networks
"A Game of Social Thrones" directed by Evan Aagaard for HootSuite
HootSuite created
this lovingly-crafted promotional video in imitation of the opening sequence of HBO's fantasy epic, Game of Thrones. In HootSuite's version, each of the Seven Kingdoms are
re-imagined as social networks. Each company's related services, such as YouTube for
Google, are arranged across the map like bannermen.
"At HootSuite we're big fans of HBO's Game of Thrones and with the 4th season of GoT just around the corner we wanted to do our own rendition of the iconic opening titles. After all, uniting warring kingdoms is a story we know a thing or two about."

Electronic Art: Social Soul
Social Soul is an “immersive digital experience” from the MKG marketing agency designed for Delta Air Lines to exhibit at TED2014 in Vancouver. The installation uploads a user's Twitter streams into a structure full of monitors and mirrors that displays that acts as a veritable hall of mirrors, reflecting the noise of the social media network back at the user from all angles. Then, the Social Soul uses an algorithm to find each user's soul mate based on that stream of data and tosses that person's feed into the mix as well. After users leave the exhibit, they receive Tweets from the installation to lead them back to their soul mates out in the real world.
It beautiful and cacophonous and romantic, if a bit overwhelming.

Posters: Social Networks
"Social Networks" by Chelyabinsk, Russia-based Ivan Belikov
Ivan Belikov envisions the internet's major Social Networks battling it out as if they were combatants in a survival
of the fittest. Tumblr is a ferocious bug, Facebook is an angry
butterfly, and Vkontakte is a werewolf in a frenzy.

Video: Social Media Prank
Prints available for purchase from Etsy. Society6. US$
Professional prankster Jack Vale recently got some laughs freaking strangers out
at the beach by walking up to them and revealing personal
information that he gathered from their social media accounts.
"I stalked people at the beach by researching their social media profiles. How did I find them? They all posted public pictures of themselves on Instagram and Twitter! And so the quest began!"

Video: Dating in the Modern World
Welcome to the modern world! Where people are more attached to their phones then they are to the people right in front of them. I think I once saw this scene on an episode of The Outter Limits.

Tech: Touchy
Is technology to blame for your failed relationships? Hong Kong media artist Eric Siu explores our relationship with technology in this off-the-wall social experiment. The Touchy camera-helmet you see in the video above blinds the user until someone else's touch opens the automated shutters. While another person is maintaining physical contact, the camera shoots a photo every 10 seconds. Loss of contact with another person results in blindness. Siu's project is a metaphor for the powerful nature of human relationships, and their significance in forming lasting memories.
