A fun post from Cory Schmit that chronicles his camera collect, or at least every 35mm camera he’s owned over the past four years. Cory’s narrative is enhanced by incorporating background information directly into the story, that includes photos of the each device, the images that they capture and linked to additional information that helps to provide context, as if you’re having a conversation with Cory about his passion for film.

All this is possible through the unique capabilities of Fold, a news platform being developed by MIT Media Lab’s, that break down the user experience into a cross. The vertical bar is dedicated to the story itsel. This narrative is chunked into white blocks rather than paragraphs, but it’s otherwise your typical, narrative news story.

“Show respect even to people who don’t deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.”

If Walt Whitman were a Greeting Card Writer

O Valentine! My Valentine!
Your face is everywhere;
I see it in the dead leaves;
I see it in the toadstools in the wood;
I see it in the lake scum and the swamp moss;
But I do not see it in the peat bogs;
O Valentine!
You are the bullfrog croaking and the jackal
howling and the buzzard screaming,
And occasionally the gopher thinking;
My heart is nature’s toothpaste tube, and
you are the force eternal that squeezes
out the final, itsy-bitsy sweetness;
O me!
O you!
O me! O you!
O us!
O Valentine!

The long-term risk chronic loneliness poses to our health and longevity is so severe, it actually increases risk of an early death by 26%. More important, emerging from loneliness is far more challenging than we realize.
