This week’s Reflecteur cultivates examples of the best of the best and the best of the worst. For example, there’s Zero Views, curating those videos which haven’t gone viral into a showcase of great moments in ignored content. On the other side, we have amateur filmmakers recreating Star Wars 15 seconds at a time, using a variety of mediums, methods, and materials. All this, plus hungover owls, Lego Nintendo pop quizzes, and the most frugal of attitudes toward clothing.

Recently, I got married (sorry for the heartbreak, ladies). We had the wedding in Cincinnati, which meant a lot of flying for planning (not fun) and flying for a honeymoon (very fun).

All the travel got me thinking about checked bag fees, pillow fees, and the changing expectations of travelers and their perceptions of airlines. Spirit Airlines announcing it would be charging passengers for carry on luggage to go along with the fees for checking bags is a great example of this.

This week’s issue of Reflecteur looks inward, seeing how digital culture can both connect and inspire us emotionally, while also making us feel more alone than ever. Between photostreams telling life-threatening illnesses to “f**k off” and using social media inspiring others to leave affirmations of beauty and self-worth in public places, the web connects and heals. However, as evidenced by the popular video, “How to Be Alone,” connected culture doesn’t always mean personal fulfillment.

In this trail-laden, dysentary-free issue of Reflecteur, we look at how nostalgia fuels digital culture through the fan-made trailer for the classic 80’s edugame, Oregon Trail. Also, more silly parental behaviours laid bare for the entertainment of the web, quitting your job in (fake) style, and a stunning software model of what would happen if the world stopped spinning.

Reflecteur 65 looks into new and exciting ways digital culture brings us together and sets us apart, whether its the data from social media sites mapping our mood and location, markets catering to a specific person’s need online, or separating our social feeds by friends and ex-significant others. Also, fingerpainting with an iPad and Denuo’s foray into social gaming, via FarmVille and organic foods.
