Gregor Weichbrodt, a communication design student from Germany, has created the road trip of my dreams using Jack Kerouac's seminal book, On The Road. "The exact and approximate spots Kerouac traveled and described are taken from the book and parsed by Google Direction Service API. The result is a huge direction instruction of 55 pages. The chapters match those of the original book. All in all, as Google shows, the journey takes 272.26 hours (for 17,527 miles)."
You can buy the print book here (the PDF here) or download it for free, over here. What I'd give to have the time and money to do the whole 17,527 miles.
A very clever ad for The Sunday Times, by Grey.
The Philippines Department of Tourism has launched a global campaign thanking the world for the aid provided after the devastating super typhoon, Yolanda, slammed into the country last year. While there's a long way to go, the DoT said that the campaign was, "triggered by an overwhelming sense of appreciation, which has been strongly expressed in social media. Depicting different ways of expressing their heartfelt appreciation, various messages and images in social media showed the world that foreign support and encouragement has made, and continues to make, all the difference in the country’s ongoing rehabilitation and rebuilding efforts."
