August 10, 2014 will be 4 years that I've been collecting and sharing things of interest online. Connecting with all of you has been the greatest gift, working with some amazingly talented people, and being introduced to some of the most beautiful, fascinating and interesting creators in the world has made every day worth it.

Some things to point your attention to. First, if you can't tell, I am super excited for the start of the World Cup this month in Brazil, and I for one have already ordered my favorite jerseys. Also, we've recently launched our Calendar of Events, realizing that some of the most amazing things we learn are through in-person experiences, we wanted to add that to our coverage. If you have an event you want included, Submit it here.

In addition to this blog, we have some other projects we are so excited to be working on.
