Job Growth by City and State

Where the jobs will be by 2030. To be honest, I’m a bit skeptical of Las Vegas ranking so high in these two lists.

A Pink Dream

Once a year, for a period of a week or two, the cherry blossoms in Japan bloom. The quiet pink harmony produces a stir among Japanese and tourists as they flock to both city and countryside in enjoyment of a gorgeous array of pink.

I have never had the luck of overlapping with this almost random event. Tourists schedule trips months in advance only to miss the bloom by a week or two and come home empty handed. Unexpected to me, I lucked into the exact week this Spring to arrive to a snow of pink.

Unfortunately, my iPhone picks do not offer visual justice, especially the serenity of the night.

Statiscally Designed Japan

This is a very strange, yet interesting video on Japan. The creator, Kenichi Tanaka, made it for his final thesis project. It pokes a bit of fun about Japanese, which is either strange or allowed because Tanaka-san is Japanese. Either way, I find the statistics and design enjoyable.
