During a recent commute, I thought about how the devices that we use today are already augmenting and altering our sense of reality. Read more in Rumination 58: Everyday AR on Lounge Ruminator.

Coldplay’s latest album, Everyday Life is easily the most musically interesting album since Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends in 2008. On first listen today, I had no idea where it was going—totally unpredictable.
