The Fault In Our Stars

Over the long weekend I had in Florida I read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green on the plane and on the beach. This book was absolutely amazing. It is hard for me to find a book that I can't put down and this was one of those books. I honestly didn't think that I would get pulled in as much as I did but the story and the way it was written pulled me all in. I laughed, cried and felt a lot of emotion just from the book and reading it made me even more excited for the movie coming out next summer. If you haven't read it I highly recommend it but be prepared to bawl your eyes out.

Visiting Every Country

I stumbled across this video over the weekend and I thought is was awesome. Film-Maker Graham Hughes from Liverpool traveled to every country between January 2009 and December 2012 documenting every time he was in a new country. It is absoulty amazing what he did, but what makes it even cooler... he never used airfare. He traveled to 201 contries whilst never getting on a plane. He insted used boats, trains and anything else to get to where ever he had to go. Now you might be asking yourself why in the world would he do this crazy adventure. He did it all to raise awarness for Water Aid, a charity raising money to provide people in need the most basic thing, water. 

You can check out a more detailed version of his trip on his website:

Surviving Whole Foods

I found this post recently and I thought it was hilarious. Comedian Kelly MacLean describes her feelings about the grocery store Whole Foods and all the interesting people and products that come with it. I personally love going to Whole Foods but she describes it as going to Vegas, "You go there to feel good but you leave broke, disoriented and with the new found knowledge that you have a vaginal disease." It is a hilarious article and I defiantly recommend reading it.

The Faces Of Facebook

I stubbled across this website a couple of days ago and I thought it was awesome. The Faces of Facebook is a website that take every single person on Facebook's icon picture and then complies then into one huge picture chronologically and was so popular a couple of days ago the entire wedsite crashed. 

You can zoom in to the picture to be able to find profile pictures of people around the world. You can now even link the website with your facebook to be able to find yourself and all your other friends in the picture. 

Before you start freaking out that some creeper will  find you, A) There is a one in a (litteral) billion chance that someone will find your picture and B) It's completely legal. Natalie Rojas, the programer of the website says:

“Relax, We’re not breaking any Facebook privacy rules because we don’t store anyones private information, pictures or names. We’ve just found a harmless way to show 1,260,866,093 Facebook profile pictures and organize them in chronological order”
