From Monoscope:

To promote its new line of TVs Toshiba trekked into the Black Rock Desert with a helium balloon.

Beautiful. I’d love to see a longer edit, especially some footage of the 23 minute freefall back to Earth. Reminds me a little of the mesmerising film of Joseph Kittinger’s parachute jump from 75,000 feet.

I finally got to experience the horribleness that a 45min long MRI I’ve been hearing so much about. That really is a ghastly creation, sliding me into a jet engine whirring to life for 45 minutes with about one inch of clearance above my face and an entire field of white to stare at until it’s over? Figure out a way to project a few Simpsons episodes or at least some music to overcome the loud, claustrophobic noise machine that is a MRI.
Matt Haughey shares his MRI experience in Adventures in brain tumors: part one of many, I have to agree only experience with an MRI was absolutely awful—and I was only having my knee checked—can’t imagine what it’d be like with the weight of a suspected brain tumour looming over you. Be sure to read the whole thing and send some #mathowielove his way.

Life’s too short to drink bad coffee or read bad blogs.

Make the effort to care.

So says Marco and I heartily agree (even if he did steal my line).
