Tech the good with the bad

Happy Friday,

Technology makes our lives easier in so many ways, but there's no gratis lunch. These benefits come with a certain penalty in frustration, especially as you come to rely on them. To wit, this clip from Conan O'Brien's show featuring comedian Louis CK with a rant on the "spoiled generation". Good stuff, even if you are a member.

Everything's amazing, nobody is happy

The Roads Less Traveled
And finally, cool time lapse footage that makes all the scenes look like beautiful scale models. And by the way, the film maker (aspiring cinematographer) is looking for a job, too.
