Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. The shady world of... Rosé?

2. I'm rather enjoying The Verge's Home of the Future series on Youtube. Episode 1 explores the construction and design of modern prefabricated modular homes and episode 2 looks at renewable energy in the home. The solar panels actually look cool, unlike many of those ugly things we see on top of houses at the moment!

3. How what3words are translating addresses into words — "London-based startup what3words has given every location on Earth a three-word English address; now, it’s working to support as many languages as possible so that users worldwide can find any destination in their native tongue."

4. Who'd have thought snapping spaghetti would be so difficult?

5. Everyone wants our attention and unsurprisingly it might be affecting our focus — Finding It Hard to Focus? Maybe It’s Not Your Fault

Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. A great answer on Reddit to the question ”What really happened in real life that if you saw it in a movie you would say ‘that’s totally unrealistic’?”. It would make for a pretty underwhelming movie, but it’s a great story nonetheless.

2. Food for thought, cultivate self-indifference over self-esteem — You’re simply not that big a deal: now isn’t that a relief?

3. A fascinating longread — When a DNA Test Shatters Your Identity

4. One of my all time favourite comedies, Community, has returned from the depths of nowhere to Channel 4. A warning, it’s binge-worthy!

5. Last week I had the pleasure of working with some super talented kids on one of Kick Music School’s Rock Schools. Check out the videos of their performances from the gig day rehearsals… You’ll be impressed!

Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. A good Longform Podcast interview with Bryan Fogel, the Oscar-winning director of one of my favourite documentaries, Icarus. If you haven't seen the documentary yet, watch it!

2. These three-dimensional portraits of cats made of felted wool are amazing... and a little bit creepy.

3. An interesting read on Google Translate and the World Cup — “Over this last month or so, it has been possible to glimpse the future of how we travel: a world in which language is no longer a prerequisite for understanding.”

4. The difference between amateurs and professionals.

5. A fascinating episode of the After-On podcast on the evolution of beauty with Richard Prum. His book on the subject sounds really interesting.
