Steve Wilhite is wrong. Steve Wilhite admits that he has never even made an animated GIF himself. Can we even trust Steve Wilhite? Don’t allow Steve Wilhite to dictate your life. Continue on with your preferred pronunciation, whether it’s a giff, a jiff, a heef, a jefe, or a gee-eye-eff. We are all correct. (But do let us point out that the acronym stands for “Graphics Interchange Format,” not Jraphics Interchange Format. Moving on.)

Please Continue Pronouncing “GIF” Any Way You Please - Emma Carmichael, The Hairpin

Mathieu Lehanneur: Local River

“Local River, home storage unit for fish and greens.
The Locavores appeared in San Francisco in 2005 and define themselves as ‘a group of culinary adventurers who eat foods produced in a radius of 100 miles (160 km) around their city’. By doing so they aim to reduce impact on the environment inherent to the transport of foodstuffs, while ensuring their traceability.
Local River anticipates the growing influence of this group (the word ‘locavore’ made its first appearance in an American dictionary in 2007) by proposing a home storage unit for live freshwater fish combined with a mini vegetable patch. This DIY fish-farm-cum-kitchen-garden is based on the principle of aquaponics coupled with the exchange and interdependence of two living organisms - plants and fish.
The plants extract nutrients from the nitrate-rich dejecta of the fish. In doing so they act as a natural filter that purifies the water and maintains a vital balance for the eco-system in which the fish live. The same technique is used on large-scale pioneer aquaponics/fish-farms, which raise tilapia (a food fish from the Far East) and lettuce planted in trays floating on the surface of ponds.
Local River responds to everyday needs for fresh food that is 100% traceable. It bets on a return to favour of farm-raised freshwater fish (trout, eel, perch, carp, etc…), given the dwindling supplies of many saltwater species due to over-fishing. It also demonstrates the capacity of fish-farmers to deliver their stock live to a private consumer as a guarantee of optimum freshness - impossible in the case of saltwater fish that has been netted.
Local River aims to replace the decorative ‘TV aquarium’ by an equally decorative but also functional ‘refrigerator-aquarium’. In this scenario, fish and greens cohabit for a short time in a home storage unit before being eaten by their keepers, the end-players in an exchange cycle within a controlled ecosystem.”

Here's the awful video that goes along with Time Magazine's awful article about millenials

WOW. This guy is really out of touch with…everything in this modern world. He’s (only) 41, but has never done some of the rudimentary things we do in every day life. “I’ve never g-chatted”  How is sending 30 texts purely a Millennial thing? Or checking your phone first thing in the morning? Everything he did that was  ”SO Millennial” was every day things.

Dude you’re giving adults a bad name. The vast majority of us are not as inept at basic technological skills as you are.

I mean, was this video supposed to be in jest, or no?

I would like to rescind my earlier trigger warning and apply it to this post instead.

Oh man.

I can’t even.

Progress Despite Vegas Vacation

A: getting back into the gym after vacation in Las Vegas just may be harder than making the lifestyle change in the first place. I mean, who wants to hit the gym after days chillin so hard by a pool on a BED all day noshing and drinking in the sun? 

B: The break helped somehow. I made it through two body pump tracks I never could complete before: chest track and biceps track. I am having an especially hard time with chest workouts. But this time I was able to make it through and i think i have the correct form. Maybe it’s because I forgot the bad form I had before. 

so, small victory and progress despite the break.
