Things Organised Neatly is an insanely pleasing Tumblr wherein things are organised neatly.
We linked to it early last year but since then there have been so many more things organised neatly.
The ‘boffins’ at Newswhip, the Dublin-based global social media news behomoth, have updated their already pretty fine app.
Founder Paul Quigley sez:
“We’ve made a major overhaul – improving usability, speed, sharing and other features.Fundamentally, we’re still using all the sharing and tweeting activity from social networks to find the most worthwhile news stories from about 50,000 sources.
The real magic in the app is in the niche areas, where you can see what stories are engaging peoplein about 40 different topics. Like this morning, in Health we see “Giving Birth Later in Life Linked to Longer Life”, in Environment a new “tiny wallaby” has been discovered, in Startups, “Advice for Women Leaders”. The App remembers your favourite sections so you get to them quicker.
We’d invite all the early adopters, trend setters and news lovers from the Broadsheet Massive to download and have a play. It’s priced at the enticing price of Free.”

The ambitious Northside Southside cycle link-up.
Bridging Sutton to Sandycove at last.
It could Change EVERYTHING.
Clara Clarke, a member of the campaign team said: “The S2S would be the longest continuous cycle route in Europe, at 22km. The plan is for the whole 22km of it to be off-road – that’s critical, otherwise parents won’t let their kids use it as the Merrion Road is too dangerous.
“The next step is that we need Dublin City Council, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and Fingal County Council to … link up all the routes. The most contentious part of the route is from Merrion Gates to Sandycove, and even [to] Seapoint, as that is the least developed area at the moment.”
FIGHT!

And what, if after Jimmy dies, all these rumours or similar stories form part of his legacy?
“Bollix to my legacy. If I’m gone, that’s that.”
Yet claims that Jimmy Savile was a necrophiliac or paedophile might even now sour the minds of fans who are children. Or were, when they first heard his name.
“Grown ups can be kidded but as with these people here in the Central Remedial Clinic kids can’t be kidded,…They smell the truth, they sense it. If any of those stories were true they’d know it. And I have to say that all the things I’ve done in my life including Top of the Pops have got to be worthwhile to allow me to sit here today. And be accepted by these children who have such crosses to bear. In that sense, whatever is said after I’m gone is irrelevant.”
Tara Bridge, Dublin today.
’tis nigh.

Aesthetically pleasing, yes. But come a little closer…
According to Gizmodo’s Jesus Diaz, this video – viewed at full screen with headphones in – will generate an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), to wit:
…a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli.
Do let us know how you get on. Chompsky’s chewed the minijack off the office earbuds.
