Welcome to Friday and to another TGIF here at Seo Scoop. I hope that you have had an enjoyable week and that many fun and cool things went on in your life. As a way of giving a little back to the world for your good fortune, buy your favourite book and give it to someone, even a stranger. Wonderful things happen with the unexpected and you'll be glowing all day 🙂
Without further ado...
Stuff I really liked this week:
An isolation chamber-chair - Looks brilliant for those times when you just want to get away but can't - this is a thinking chair
If God texted the 10 commandments - quite funny and pokes fun at our weird modern language
The Obama Cairo Speech StreamGraph - nice visual of the words used in the speech at various times and also term prominence
Inner ear radio reciever - it's a chip and not available yet, not sure I want one, but way interesting
SIMILE widgets by MIT - totally open source and really cool, you get to create great data visualisations
