Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. Better late than never — Sagrada Familia finally gets building permit after 137 years

2. Drones are coming for our cities! This mini documentary takes a look at how drones are changing architecture, parcel delivery and construction as well as more futuristic uses in areas like transport, flying cars anyone? And then there's the scarier side of drones, could you design a more perfect tool for surveillance? — Elevation: how drones will change cities

3. IKEA are on a roll with fun ads. For reference, here's the Mac Pro they're poking fun at — IKEA takes a bite out of Apple in hilarious new ad

4. Wise words from Confucius: "We each have two lives. The second begins when we realise we have only one"

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. Make sure you're getting enough sleep! Also, full marks for the headline — Waking Up at 4 A.M. Every Day Is the Key to Success. Or to Getting a Cold.

2. Amazing colourised photos of D-Day by Marina Maral. Bringing colour to old black and white photos adds so much to them. The people and scenes really come alive — #DDay 75 – In Color | June 6, 1944

3. A fun comic even if you have no interest in drawing horses — How to Draw a Horse

4. There's a lot of wisdom in this blog post. Morgan Housel is a great writer — Financial Advice For My New Daughter

5. How much of your £2.50 coffee goes to the grower? 1p! Yep, madness. — The Economics behind Coffee / From bean to cup, what goes into the cost of your coffee?

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. The kakapo is a flightless parrot described as “a mix between owl and muppet”. Unfortunately there are only 143 adults left. Can technology save them?

2. Great interview on mastery and specialisation with David Epstein on Russ Roberts' EconTalk podcast. Russ is a great interviewer and asks a lot of tough questions. Took a lot away from their conversation.

3. Elisabeth Heidinga is an artist that makes paintings out of cut up strips of other paintings. I really like the results!

4. IKEA has recreated famous living rooms from The Simpsons, Friends and Stranger Things for a recent ad campaign. Genius!

5. In the 70s the Dutch city of Utrecht filled in its moat and replaced it with a huge 11 lane motorway. In 2015 the work to replace the motorway with a new canal was completed. Nice to see they corrected the original mistake! This video succinctly explains the whole thing.

1. This is both amazing and a bit creepy. Machine learning is bringing photos and paintings to life!

2. A great episode of the Crazy/Genius podcast on the far right and the internet.

3. A bird that can sew? Birds are awesome.

4. This looks like a really cool little handheld games console. It even has a crank!

5. I've been on a roll with reading good fiction books. After finishing A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles a couple of weeks ago I decided to read his other book Rules of Civility.

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. This 8 year old is scarily good at drums! 🤯

2. Last week I finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. It's an incredible book. The writing is incredible, the story is incredible, the characters are incredible! My new favourite book, I can't wait to read it again.

3. A school trip unlike any other: "In December 1984, a group of teenagers on a school trip from West Germany crossed the border into East Germany. When they returned, an East German defector was hiding under a seat on their bus."

4. I have just discovered Jiemba Sands and his highly amusing videos. He's clearly a talented acrobat/ gymnast but also a funny one!

5. I like to think of myself as a fairly open minded person, but there is no way you could convince me a $270 toaster is worth the money.
