我们都知道这种感觉。你在悲伤的夜晚失眠，或者在朦胧的周末清晨蹒跚而行，需要一些阅读的东西，而那一堆未读的书并不能阻止你。为什么不从Twitter和RSS的消防水龙带中休息一下，看看我们每周从网络上收集的关于技术、文化、媒体和未来的重要文章？当然，坐在Instapaper队列中你会感到内疚的还有一件事，但总比再次在Twitter列表上徒劳地拉好。

论劳里·斯皮格尔

作家西蒙·雷诺兹（simonreynolds），你可能从他最近的复古狂中了解到，他描述了劳里·斯皮尔格尔（lauriespiegel），这位开创性的电子音乐家，在70年代和80年代推动了计算机音乐的发展。

Pitchfork:Simon Reynolds——常驻观众：劳里·斯皮格尔的机器音乐

"In a low information lifestyle, the ratio between incoming stuff and time spent processing inputs was completely different to how it is today. When I was a kid, I didn't watch much TV. For a long while, until I saved up and bought myself a transistor, I didn't have control of a radio. So I spent a lot of time thinking. Now we get very little time to synthesize and process relative to the amount of information coming in to us. That's a major cognitive change in terms of how people experience life."

论个人信息学

在被诊断出患有糖尿病后，丹-韩潜入了FitBits、FuelBands和Withings的世界，以改善他的血糖水平，记录沿途的体验、界面和设备。

domus:Dan Hon-设计健身

But I saw that I was faced with a body that was in bad shape because of the "software" that was running on its brain. There is a movement — at the moment a weak signal among "alpha geeks" predisposed to obsessive tendencies — preoccupied with measuring and quantifying the self. The idea itself isn't new: notice and measure things about your "software" and your "hardware" and then try to affect them. But as ever, technology trickles down to the c***umer and makes what used to be difficult easy, and what was once obscure accessible.

论建筑学

安东尼帕莱塔介绍了东方集团的超凡脱俗建筑。

锥子：安东尼帕莱塔-崇高的科幻建筑，****建立

"Anyone's first trip to New York always comes with a feeling of déjà vu, as if one were walking onto the set of a movie seen a hundred times. In contrast, there are vestiges of the Soviet Union that seem like backdrops to movies that never hit the screen, because they were never made." This, if it seems possible, decidedly understates the visual impact of the architectural legacy of the later decades of the Soviet Union and associated states. Eastern Sci-Fi cinema, as superb as its product and settings often were, clearly neglected the treasures in its own backyard.

在googlereader上

罗布·菲什曼（robfishman）写的是RSS的早期，googlereader的诞生，以及围绕RSS建立的社区的兴衰，随着Google的崛起，这个社区“几次按键”就被毁掉了+

Someone hung a sign in the Reader offices that said "DAYS SINCE LAST THREAT OF CANCELLATION." The number was almost always zero. At the same time, user growth — while **all next to Gmail’s hundreds of milli*** — more than doubled under Shih’s tenure. But the "senior types," as Bilotta remembers, "would look at absolute user numbers. They wouldn’t look at market saturation. So Reader was c***tantly on the chopping block."

关于杰里米·哈蒙德

最后，珍妮特·雷特曼在网上完整地描述了联邦调查局是如何追踪并逮捕匿名成员、黑客和无**主义者杰里米·哈蒙德的。

滚石：珍妮特·雷特曼——杰里米·哈蒙德的兴衰：国家的敌人

From an early age, Jeremy was c***umed by projects in which he could lose himself. In Little League, he created a virtually unhittable pitch, and by the time he was nine, he was finding innovative ways to make computers do what they weren't supposed to do – the essence of hacking. At 16, he hacked the computers at a local Apple store, projecting their financial data on every screen, after which he proceeded to explain to the experts at the Genius Bar how to better protect their information. "The look on their faces was priceless," his father recalls.

关于克里斯休斯

卡尔·斯旺森介绍了29岁的克里斯·休斯，他是Facebook的联合创始人和百万富翁，正试图振兴新共和国。

纽约：作家克里斯休斯即将年满100岁

"I look at Twitter once a day, maybe twice," he says. "I look at Facebook quite a bit, because for me there’s more stuff happening. But Twitter—so many people have TweetDeck in the background," he moti*** around his newsroom overlooking Madison Square Park. "I realize that I purposely want to keep a distance between me and that." He is always trying to schedule time for reflection. The New Republic "means not just producing a magazine," he says. "We have to be convening conversati***."
