You’re Distracted. This Professor Can Help. – Technology – The Chronicle of Higher Education:

All content in long-term memory is represented in two ways: "as a sense of familiarity on the one hand, and whether or not you truly understand it." People often mistake familiarity for understanding. They open the textbook after getting home from a lecture, and they recognize the material. They think: I get this. Then they take a test—and bomb it.

Brooklyn Brew Kids by Dark Rye:

Erica and Stephen of Brooklyn Brew Kids are revivalists of the oldest beverage in history, one gallon at a time. It’s kitchen-based, friendly stovetop brewing that gives New Yorkers a new definition of what it means to enjoy a cold one, from curried stout to rhubarb root from the simplest of pasta pots. ~ www.DarkRye.com

The Brooklyn Brewery Mash tour – adventures in food, film, music, books and beer…

To promote the Brooklyn Brewery’s MASH tour, filmmakers Landon Van Soest and Paul Trillo, created a stop motion tour of the borough. The 11 city tour brings the brewery’s favorite aspects of Brooklyn culture; including food, film, music, books and beer. Keeping with the concept of touring, Landon and Paul shot over 3000 still photos to capture a glimpse of Brooklyn in under 60 seconds. The resulting piece is a fast paced, seamless transition between Brooklyn’s various neighborhoods and establishments.

The MASH tour begins at SXSW in Austin and tours to 10 additional cities through the end of the year. For more information visit http://brooklynbrewerymash.com
