This issue looks at a range of sites, videos and projects. The first is a time lapse video of Mars Rover images. It’s and amazing up close view of the Red Planet. The next article examines an infographic that will be enjoyed by both the foodies and struggling cooks among us. ‘Taste Buds’ will become your go to source for food pairings.

On page two we start with the tumblr for the Occupy Wall Street protests – We are the 99%. This site is updated dozens of times a day and is a great example of using the digital space to bring individual faces to a larger movement. Finally, we lighten the mood with ‘Ballon Hats’ which proves that balloon hats really are universally enjoyed.

This issue takes us from the world of photography with Tourist Places to a pop culture mash up with Iconatomy over to some geopolitical commentary on North Korea and finally back to Chicago to ask people what their favorite memory is.  At least one of them is sure to make you smile.

We are often asked where we find the items we write about in Reflecteur. We are lucky to have a team of contributors that send us items going viral from their favorite sites. Each of our contributors has his or her own interests and favorite sites to visit, so the items they send are as varied as they are. However, despite this range certain ones seem to pop up again and again as top sites.

This one page issue includes some of out favorite sites for digital culture items across a variety of categories. From the ad world to cooking to gaming to geek love, these sites are some of the best to check for what’s being shared right now.

This is a bit of an eclectic issue, ranging from a childish prank to one lawyer’s very serious response to a spam invoice. Here’s a bit more information to get you excited:

• AI vs AI – This experiment from some Cornell University students looked at what would happen if two chatbots struck up a conversation. The results are hilarious. The response from viewers reminds us of just how much robots still amaze and frighten us (and how proud we are that they can’t mimic us just yet).

• Spam Revenge – What happens when you send a law office a fake invoice and a lawyer there gets a hold of it? If he’s this blogger he digs up copious amounts of information on you via public records… then shows the rest of us how to do it. Good luck with that same scam in the future.

• Streetview Vandalism – We’ve seen many responses to the Streetview car: performance art, scavenger hunts, even anger. This is the first bit of vandalism we’ve come across (at least the first that has been memorialized in Streetview by accident).

• Yelper Backlash – Yes, Yelp can be an amazingly helpful site. But as with any crowdsourced effort, there’s a lot of random other crap in there. Now there are multiple ways to respond to self centered, racist or clueless comments.

It was with a heavy heart that I joined team iPhone this summer. As a self-appointed Apple h8r, I spent the previous 3 years of my mobile phone life with Android devices. As with any relationship, there were good and bad times but at the end I realized that we needed to test the waters with others. I was not the least bit enthusiastic about this decision but it felt necessary at the time. Now that I’ve had a few months to adjust, I can say it was the right decision if not for one main factor…Instagram.
