  1. MakeUseOf: The compass app on your phone is not as reliable as you think. “You’ll notice that, outside of the magnetized needle, old-school compasses don’t typically feature magnetic metals. The compass chassis is often made out of plastic, and if it’s made out of metal, it is a non-magnetic metal like aluminum or brass. This is because other magnetic parts can interfere with the magnetized […]

  3. TrendWatching: Moogle Gaps serves up misdirections instead of shortest routes — and that’s the point. “Whipped up by two Australian ex-Droga5 creatives, Paul Meates and Henry Kimber, Moogle Gaps is an anti-wayfinder. Users input their navigational query as they normally would, but instead of the most efficient route from A to B, the app offers misdirections — or as its builders put it, ‘a […]

    Bruce Springsteen - One Step Up

    Woke up this morning my house was cold
    Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
    Went out and hoped in my old Ford
    Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
    We've given each other some hard lessons lately
    But we ain't learnin'
    We're the same sad story that's a fact
    One step up and two steps back

    Billy Bragg - Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

    One leap forward, two leaps back
    Will politics get me the sack?
    Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

    Well, here comes the future and you can't run from it
    If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it
    Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

  10. WD-40, "Je reviens de l'est" (2001)

    Je reviens de l'est
    Où poussent les Molsons tablettes
    Les tavernes de ce coin-là
    Aiment les dames autant que moi.

    A group that's close to my heart with a song imagining the geography of turn-of-the-21st-century Montréal like a flipped western. The video features much of my old stomping ground (if the camera had been positioned just a little differently in a couple of frames, you'd see our apartment).

  11. This #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #Directions.

    So, he's leaving the life he's come to know,
    He said he's going back to find
    What's left of his world
    The world he left behind
    Not so long ago
