The Fallen of World War II
An astounding 18-minute piece showing the human impact of World War II and other wars. I knew most of these statistics, but seeing them in this way was heartbreaking and terrifying. You should watch this.
When you’re done, go give Neil some money to support this spectacular work. I’m very much looking forward to future episodes. (via kottke)
I’ve got a question: How much do I have to pay Tumblr to never see this garbage again on the top of every single page in my Dashboard? Also, I guess, for “FOB”: Have you considered enunciating even a single word in your terrible, terrible songs? Thanks!
Garrett and Shawn watch Bastian try to solve his deep psychological problems via a depressing adventure of sadness. If the story never ends, how come this podcast is only an hour long?
A beloved film from our childhoods, which holds up surprisingly well even with all of its exposition and weird 4th- and 5th-wall shenanigans. That poor, poor, depressed horse. Subscribe to our podcast, it’s fun! (If you use Overcast on iOS, here’s a handy quick link to the show there for easy subscription.)
Current obsession.
Previous obsession.
Photojojo: Disposable Camera
A constant refrain when discussing iOS app ideas is that every market is completely saturated and it’s impossible to build something new. I’ve been guilty of this myself many times. Think about the camera/photography market in the App Store—it’s completely packed with a million apps, most of which do the same thing. That doesn’t mean you can’t build something, it just means your app needs to be better or more interesting than everything else.
A perfect example is this new app from Photojojo, which emulates the forgotten experience of using a disposable digital camera. It combines the simple iOS app idea with a physical product and it’s a terrific concept. I haven’t used it yet myself, but I’m going to give it a shot soon. Apps like this make me excited to build new things.
Fore! We discuss the 1980 comedy Caddyshack and the decline of nipples in movies. Fore! (Golf jokes!!)
We’re having a problem with this podcast where it’s so much fun to do we want to do three episodes a week. We’re not going to do that because we want it to be sustainable, but boy it’s fun to watch these movies and talk about them. Join in—subscribe!
I forgot to mention it on March 1, but this month we celebrated Karbon’s five-year anniversary. This makes me immensely proud.
