Morning Glory: Turning Desert Air into Drinking Water

Brain is still a bit friend from Kepplesaurus’ near-impossible challenge, but I’ve got some fight left in me…

co.Exist reports on a wind turbine that can turn desert air into drinking water. I’m a fan. (*dodges tomato*) [Tech]

Donald Glover (aka Troy Barnes aka Childish Gambino) will be stepping into a guest role on 30 Rock. DVR now set. That Girl™ originally sent me the news, though I had to wait for Pajiba to feature it. I’m the original Dustin Rowles fanboy. [TV]

co.Exist wonders what other cities can do to clone Boston’s success with going digital. Jury’s still out, but I’m going with ‘lose multiple times to the New York Giants in the Superbowl.’ [Tech]

The Atlantic asks if Facebook is making us lonely. It’s an important question. A few colleagues of mine challenged ourselves to push real-world interaction with Facebook “friends” last month, and we’re all coming back happy. I took one of them to an art show and another to a Mets’ game. When I have time, I’ll post our feedback from this and how it translated into our personal and professional lives. [Facebook]

R.L. Stine is still writing scary stories; this time via Twitter. Geekosystem’s article is longer than the actual story, but ten-year-old me is hiding under the covers. [Books]

About the Author: Matt

I'm the Director of Digital Strategy at Steam Communications. My metaphorical appetite for behavioral economics, social media, technology, college basketball and pop culture is rivaled only by my *actual* appetite for food. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that.
