Some of the final installation photographs of Notice: A Flock of Signs at the IMA! Curated by the awesome Sarah Green!

Check out Kim Beck’s new project in 100 Acres (IRL, too, if you can!). I’m very proud to have worked on this. What I first thought would be a relatively subtle installation has turned into a delightfully major intervention in the park. Since 100 Acres opened in 2010, we have aimed for a less-directed approach, moving away from the copious didactic information and wayfinding that one finds inside the museum proper. Beck’s installation cleverly plays upon those conventions, and does so in a way that I anticipate will help visitors let go a bit and embrace the indeterminacy of exploring the outdoor world.

And be sure to follow Kim Beck’s tumblr.

Basically, Rihanna’s “Stay”, but cute and bouncy, like something the Muppets would sing (barring the lyrics). I couldn’t pull this one off without actually singing it, so please imagine better vocals. And less dropped consonants.

I love your singing. My admiration for you is like unending sky and a simile that doesn’t quite make sense but is genuine.

I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours… . In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.

When The Fault in Our Stars came out, we were able to release a limited-edition audiobook version narrated by me along with a DVD featuring videos of me talking about the book, a ticket to a concert featuring The Hectic Glow, a Hectic Glow wristband, and postcards featuring scenes from the book.

I’m delighted to announce that a new edition of this audiobook and DVD box set is now available for preorder at dftba.com. (It will look just like what you see above, only the wristband is a light blue.)

So if you want to hear me read you the book, now you can.

This is possible because of support from Penguin and my real audiobook publisher, Brilliance Audio, so thanks to them.

I got one from the original printing of this. It’s awesome!!! If you don’t have it, and are debating whether or not you want to get it, just get it.

You heard halosandbagels, people: Just get it.

(Off topic but why does everyone on tumblr have a better username than I do? I feel inadequate.)

You don’t have a bad username, John. I’m sure lots of people at the IRS who have tumblrs and watch your videos get it.

a friend came round to help me revise and forgot to log out of her facebook on my laptop so I’ve spent the last 20 minutes devoting her facebook to trains.

I’ve also got the middle name “ILikeTrains” pending and have joined 50 “I love trains” groups.

I approve.

Yes.

The best way to use Twitter? I don’t wanna brag, but I do have 1.5 million Twitter followers so this is kind of my area of expertise. And in my professional opinion the best way to use Twitter is to tell people what’s on your Tumblr. I don’t know if there’s another use for Twitter, really, than to be like, Look! Look what I Tumbled about today!

John Green, #1 New York TImes Bestselling Author (via rachelfershleiser)

(It’s true, though.)

I don’t know that I agree.

I made you a video critically analyzing GIFs of animals interrupting sporting events. (Really.)

Insightful, but you pronounced “gif” differently than I do the first two times you used it so we can’t be friends anymore…

I know you are just kidding, thehelixnebula, but many people are up in arms over my use of both pronunciations of gif in this video.

I used them both because they are both correct pronunciations.
