4 - Nicholas Felton Releases his Latest Annual Report
Nicholas Felton, the man behind Facebook's TIMELINE, first started to excite the design and infographic geeks with his first ANNUAL REPORT in 2005. It is a meticulously organized, gorgeously presented and thoughtfully designed exercise in data display, and the power of data to unlock meaning, in this case in the mundane details of his life and behavior. The 2012 print version is out now for $28.

5 things I learned March 12, 2013
1 - Vivaldi's 4 Seasons Recomposed by Max Richter
From the project page:
This is no mere arrangement; instead Richter has absorbed Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons into his own musical bloodstream. At first Richter followed the example of other works in the “Recomposed” series, which re-mix existing recordings, but, he says, “I wanted to open up the score on a note-by-note level, and working with an existing recording was like digging a mineshaft through an incredibly rich seam, discovering diamonds and not being able to pull them out. That became frustrating. I wanted to get inside the score at the level of the notes and in essence re-write it, re-composing it in a literal way.”

4 - Billy Joel Answers the Question
Fan Michael Pollack stood up to ask his childhood idol a question during the Piano Man's recent Q&A at Vanderbilt University.
He asked to play with him. Joel answered.
"...and that's how you get to be a horn player in NYC... take a chance" Joel after the song.
If you don't ask, you don't get.

WSOTD - Burger Lab
Richard Blais, winner of Top Chef All Stars, hosts this weekly mad-scientist of burger shows Burger Lab on Tasted, the first I've picked as the WSOTD (Web Series of the Day).
There are some pretty insane concoctions, Korean Barbecue Burger, Cheese Stuffed Burger and Pig-skin Burger (was aimed at the Superbowl watching moment).

POTD - The Me Bird by Pablo Neruda
The Me Bird
by Pablo Neruda
I am the Pablo Bird,
bird of a single feather,
a flier in the clear shadow
and obscure clarity,
my wings are unseen,
my ears resound
when I walk among the trees
or beneath the tombstones
like an unlucky umbrella
or a naked sword,
stretched like a bow
or round like a grape,
I fly on and on not knowing,
wounded in the dark night,
who is waiting for me,
who does not want my song,
who desires my death,
who will not know I'm arriving
and will not come to subdue me,
to bleed me, to twist me,
or to kiss my clothes,
torn by the shrieking wind.
That's why I come and go,
fly and don't fly but sing:
There is a fantastic Stencil-Cut Animation inspired by this poem of Neruda's.
