The Chiba Lotte Marines mascot is ”… a giant fish that runs around the field and, for lack of a better term, barfs out its own spine so it can do a dance routine and other fun stuff.” Description via CBS Sports.
Mascot rating 11 out of 10.
Floating Cloud is “a magnetically levitating ambient lamp.” I liked this bit about why the Floating Cloud doesn’t have a speaker: “Simply let your speakers do what they do best, and the Floating Cloud will do what it does best.

Good advice, we should always let clouds do what they do best.

I started with a softball: @DirtyPianoNames. “There’s only one tweet here and it says Yuja Wang.” “Yes, that’s correct.”
The “Int-Ball” is currently following astronauts around the International Space Station. It’s a bit larger than a softball, can float and maneuver by itself but also be controlled remotely, can take high-resolution images and videos. /via apod.nasa.gov
dead mall

I just finished Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames, super fun read, highly recommend it.
The Panobook is a panoramic notebook for your desk that is currently on Kickstarter. Backed. Also, I have a notebook problem

Re: Sedaris: The handmade notebook thing is a little misleading: he types his diary on the computer, then prints it out and binds it by hand

Austin Kleon on David Sedaris’ note taking process + a lot of other good comments from others on the subject. Also, this is how Twitter should work.
Because I’m Me by the Avalanches. Great song, great video, happy Friday!
Radical Ocean Futures uses “Science Fiction Prototyping” to imagine our future oceans. Science Fiction Prototyping is my new favorite phrase; can someone become a Science Fiction Prototyper? I think that is what I want to do when I grow up.
