RageChill

Ahhh RageChill.com, one of my favorite websites, especially for music. RageChill is basically what its title states- it’s rage or chill or somewhere in the middle. Basically, you slide the bar toward rage or chill, depending on what kind of music you want to listen to. It’s an extremely interesting and funny concept. It’s a nice way to get through this monday and the rest of the week. For all you “ragers”, all you hipsters, and everyone else somewhere in the middle, this is the online music source for you. It even makes a great party playlist! Of course, you can skip songs, but it’s rare that you don’t like one of the songs, they’re mostly pretty awesome. A list of songs you’ve listened to automatically appears. If you click on one, the music video pops up. An example of my experience- I’m right in the middle between the two at the moment; I just went from Taylor Swift to a dubstep/electro remix of La Roux’s “Bulletproof”. There’s a huge variety of artists varying from the super famous to up-and-coming acts equally an good. So fun.

Side-note: For an even cooler experience, sign in with Facebook or Twitter to have the option of creating a collection of songs you’ve liked and connecting with friends for a shared experience.

For all those soldiers who bravely serve (or served) our country, and for those men and women who sacrificed their lives in the name of American freedom…we thank you.

Time Traveler: Michael Portillo and The Great Continental Railway Journey

BBC reporter Michael Portillo’s work may be considered time travel by some, but is definitely considered fascinating by all. Portillo embarked on a journey via Europe’s Continental Railway with his only guide being Bradshaw’s Continental Railway Guide and General Handbook. This doesn’t sound too impressive until viewers realize Bradshaw’s Handbook is from 1913! Portillo’s hundred-year-old guide whisked him through a time period of innovation that spread all around continental Europe. Read his account on the odyssey in The Telegraph.

BACK TO THE FUTURE by Irina Werning

Argentinian born photographer Irina Werning took up the “Back to the Future” project in 2010. Werning, who was always fascinated by old photographs, decided to have people recreate photographs from their past. It is quite an interesting project and was done impeccably well. Werning is currently based in her home town of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Check out Werning’s site to view the full project and her other work. Here are some of my favorites.
