<http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/use-the-power-of-ifttt-to-customize-your-apple-tv-screen-saver/>
Graham Spencer, MacStories


> For example, for the last few months I’ve been using a combination of Flickr, IFTTT and Instagram to create an Apple TV screen saver that cycles through images that I have liked on Instagram and it is far better than seeing the same old National Geographic photos (as great as they are) over and over again.

Don Melton


> After I called my staff and made sure they were aware and they were OK, I told them to let any of their team members leave for the day if they thought that was best. Most of them stayed anyway because they didn’t want to be alone.

> Then I laid back down, alone, and selfishly realized how fortunate I had been to have known this man, if just for a little while.

<http://www.techhive.com/article/2142620/you-should-play-sometimes-you-die.html#tk.rss_all>
Chris Holt, TechHive


> Sometimes You Die is a darkly humorous meditation on the relationship between the player and the game—and it’s also a pretty fun game in its own right. Combining elements of platforming and puzzle solving, Sometimes You Die both acknowledges and then sticks its tongue out at conventions of genre, gameplay, and escapism.

<http://www.vqronline.org/big-read-can-single-book-sum-nation>
Michael Dirda, VQR


> Whenever my father used to see me intently hunched over my grade-​school English homework, he would say, “Looks like you’re working on the Great American Novel,” then pad off to read the news-paper. You don’t hear much these days about the GAN (as Henry James nicknamed it), but that doesn’t mean writers don’t still quest after this literary grail—​or will-​o’-​the-​wisp.
