Friday

Happy Hour Friday is a lighter set of highlights today, with the slight Alt-Edge we always bring to the news. A creative developer teaches us about the Internet and the best tequila to shoot, sip, and mix, and in a “didn’t see that one coming,” how about a video on how to tie a trucker’s hitch? Finally, A quick tribute to one of our idols, John Hughes.

The developer and creative Neal Agarwal runs a website called Neal. Fun is a collection of websites and interactive development Agarwal has built. We've highlighted several of these and sent a few to teachers we know for lessons with students (check out the Space Elevator). Today, we got a new notice from Neal, and he added another cool website and another one we will send to teachers. His latest site is called Internet Artifacts, and in it, Agarwal takes us through a few of the Internet's most famous events, everything from the invention of the first spam message, MP3, and the birth of the emoji. It's a great weekend scroll, and just think about how far this technology has come in only a few decades!

Here's the infamous clip from 1994 when Bryant Gumbel asked Katie Couric, "What is internet, anyway?”

INSIDEHOOK puts together a nice primer on a relatively new entry into the craft booze scene. Some of us only knew Cuervo and Patron, but it turns out there are many margarita makers and shots that go great with a pinch of salt. You might need a scorecard; there is a lot of info and variety in the craft tequila market, from Blanco, a clear tequila that has not been aged, to a Reposado, which is aged up to a year. A Reposado is a smoother liquor but maintains a bite. Anejo is next up and is aged up to 3 years; at this stage of the tequila game, Anejo is getting into a single malt scotch territory and is better sipped than shot. Check out the INSIDEHOOK article to spice up your next happy hour.

Another clip from The Kid Should See This, in today’s video, how to tie a trucker’s hitch. Once you learn how to do this, figure out where it makes sense!

Here's a great clip of many of John Hughes's 80s movies. Name all of them, and you will win the prize of being just like us; welcome to cool!
