Article:
I picked this article (from the BBC) simply because I was highly impressed with the
efforts Google Maps and its community were able to come up with a more detailed
map of North Korea. Despite a lack of geographical information on North Korea,
due to censorship, Google was able to create a rather detailed map, though
still rudimentary. For instance, the article notes that prominent landmarks such
as prison labour camps, nuclear research sites and government buildings were
added.
Music:
I typically listen to indie rock, though I am somewhat open to most
genres/forms of music. Recently, I’ve been listening to Mac DeMarco and Tame Impala. I’ve developed a considerable liking towards these artists because their
songs appear to have uncomplicated lyrics and simple, straightforward melodies.
I tend to use/follow Pitchfork and Resident Advisor for new music.
Video:
The video below describes how one ‘correctly serves a watermelon.’ Though
fairly ridiculous, I chose this video because when I was first introduced to
it, I genuinely though it was trying to inform/teach me something new. (Though
I did take note of the number of views, which was fairly high for such a mundane
topic!) Thus, I found the video to be even funnier than it should really have
had been. I do apologise for my sense of humour in advance.
