The Reason You Can Never Buy Gig Tickets Online
LONG ARTICLE
Yay a band I like is playing at Th..OH it's sold out. Sound familiar? There's a reason why buying tickets online is difficult, and it's not because millions of people are trying to do the same thing at once.

S.M.T.H.
MOBILE APP
This is possibly the most amazing/dangerous app ever. Essentially, it measures how high you can throw your phone. Apple actually BANNED this app from the App Store because it encourages 'reckless behaviour' that could damage devices, but obviously, it made it onto the Android Play Store with no trouble at all.

Vinylise
PRODUCT

WEBSITE

PROJECT

One Second, Every Nation
VIDEO
Fancy a quick video tour of all 210 countries in the world? Don't worry, it'll only take 210 seconds. Brilliant.

The Stanford Prison Experiment
DOCUMENTARY
So last week I linked to an epic six parter, historical documentary, which probably, was an ambitious start for the weekly documentary reccomendation. This one is just half an hour. If you don't know what the Stanford Prison Expeirments were, well, just watch.

And Finally
