Geekbook | 5 Things You Should See

by Jeff Howland

Once again, how does this happen? Don’t we have computers and smart people flying these? Google now controls your mind and your home. I think the car thing is next.

You can now get Pizza Hut by the slice. Can I still get 8 slices in a box in a circle formation? Beanie Baby tax trouble, this should be a country song, and I find this photo oddly captivating.

This lack of intellectual depth and civil discourse is what happens when I don’t spend enough time on Twitter. I’ll try harder next week.

5 Things You Should See

1. This amazing image elicits so much emotion. Any display of sheer joy such as this, holds a place in my heart.

2. The parents of a 12-year-old who recently passed away found a letter she wrote to her future self. It’s not so much the words, but the playful image I envision, of her writing this letter, that makes it so heartrending. 

3. Peter Pan interrupts the show to propose to Wendy. Enough said.

4. 9-year-old blows away everyone. People are just standing there, mouths hanging open and I’ve got chills going on for longer than I can remember.

5. Time traveling photographer adds herself into her childhood pictures.
