Could totally use this in my apartment right now! So.Much.Interference. thisistheverge: Wi-Fi blocking wallpaper improves security without hampering cellphone coverage French researchers have developed wallpaper that’s designed to trap Wi-Fi signals, without interfering with radio or cellphone signals. It uses conductive ink containing silver crystals to to block a Wi-Fi router’s operating frequencies: your router should work as expected, but the signal won’t travel beyond the wallpaper’s boundaries.

…just add Pinterest. phewsha: The Bermuda Triangle of Productivity - where does all the time go? >Massive/wallpaper sized version here!< I drew this one day after two unrelated friends complained about how they get sucked into certain websites instead of doing work, which is exactly what I do. I think….this maybe, possibly, maybe happens to some other people as well. Print available here!

[M]arketers should probably be thinking about Instagram in two ways: how to capitalize on it now and what Facebook might do with it down the road.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
