Nossos educadores e mascotes resolveram explorar a exposição “Trajetória”, de Paulo von Poser, de uma forma diferente… o resultado você pode conferir no vídeo e no álbum que criamos na nossa página no Facebook.

E continue acompanhando as aventuras desses malucos. (:

One of the coolest parts of our trip came when Gina started annoying one of the staffers at MuBe, the Sao Paulo sculpture museum. Turns out they have an amazing Tumblr, including this very cool video. The toys are all made by one of the MuBe guys; each one is made from fliers for one of the museum’s shows.

Also, apparently emoticons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. 

“Shortly before midnight, a group of officers began moving through [Zuccotti Park], inspecting bags, and shooing away the handful of protesters, some of whom scattered immediately rather than have their bags inspected. Asked what law they were breaking, Officer DiPace replied, “There’s a law against everything. That’s America.”

Aug. 13, 1969: “Data processing cards joined ticker tape in paper blizzard,” read the caption on this photograph, which was published the day after the three Apollo 11 astronauts paraded through New York. The Sanitation Department cleaned up 300 tons of paper the following day. Mayor John V. Lindsay had urged employers to give their workers time to watch the motorcade. The city’s public events commissioner said the turnout was “the biggest ever in the history of New York.” Another article quoted an 8-year-old from Connecticut. “There’s a lot of confetti down there,” he said, “but I don’t see any astronauts.” Photo: Jack Manning/The New York Times 

Today in Tumblrs that are so, so cool: The NYT’s Lively Morgue is a collection of great photographs from their archives, accompanied by the notes that appear on the back of each one. 

nprfreshair: Today we’re going to talk about how the wealthiest Americans have benefited from certain tax policies over the past 15 years — and how those tax policies have led to greater economic inequality in our country.  I’m sure this is going to be a great discussion (and you should definitely tune in), but the thing that I find even more impressive is the gif that illustrates this story. NPR Fresh Air, you really get Tumblr…

High-res Anderson Timeline (1991): Traveling to AfricaIn December, after several months of working at Channel One, Anderson, now 24, comes up with a plan to become a foreign correspondent. Hear him talk about his experience! This is a really cool timeline, but what I love most is the nice execution of the Tumblr share functionality—you can post any year from the timeline as a separate entry on your Tumblr blog.
