How a wall of groovy lava lamps help encrypt the internet

If the site you’re visiting is encrypted by cybersecurity firm Cloudflare, your activity just might be protected by nothing other than a wall of lava lamps. The company has technology that monitors the lava lamps’ random movements and translates them into code that deters hackers from accessing almost 10% of international web traffic. You might think the lava lamps would be locked away for security, but the company actually welcomes the randomness that visitors bring to the code being generated.

First spartan race no training ! (LA dodger stadium 2024 vlog)

My first Spartan Race, and my first VLOG! I was super nervous the morning of because I signed up 3 days prior with no training whatsoever but it all ended up being A BLAST! We’re already itching to do another 💪🏼 I used a lot of vertical video in this vlog and sometimes they overlap so hopefully it’s not too confusing. But I want to start vlogging more as I think it’s such a special way to document moments in time, and they’ll be wonderful to look back on one day in the future. Hope you enjoy 💗


Cinque Terre | Italy by Air 🇮🇹 drone 4K

Flying a drone over Cinque Terre is an awesome way to see the area from a new angle. I got to see the cool, colorful houses and the amazing coastline from up high. Each village looks so different and unique from above!


Getting There:

The nearest major city with an airport is Genoa, but you can also fly into Pisa, Florence, or Milan and then take a train or drive to Cinque Terre.

The Italian rail network connects the five villages to each other and to major cities in Italy. La Spezia and Levanto are the gateway towns for entering Cinque Terre by train.

You can stay in one of the five villages or in nearby towns like La Spezia or Levanto. Each village has its own character, so choose based on what you prefer – whether it's a busier spot with more amenities or a quieter, more secluded setting. Options range from hotels and B&Bs to vacation rentals. I stayed in Riomaggiore and it was the perfect blend of quaint Italian life and a bustling nightlife.

1. Monterosso al Mare: The largest of the five villages, Monterosso is known for its beautiful beaches and resort-like atmosphere. It's more accessible than the other villages, with more space and a somewhat flatter terrain. The town has a lively waterfront area and is popular for sunbathing and swimming. It also has a historic old town area with narrow lanes and lovely architecture.

2. Vernazza: Often considered the most picturesque of the five towns, Vernazza has a natural harbor and a stunning waterfront square lined with cafes and restaurants. The village is characterized by its narrow streets and steep stairways, and it boasts a beautiful church and a medieval castle offering panoramic views.

3. Corniglia: Unlike the other villages, Corniglia is not directly on the sea but perched high on a cliff about 100 meters above the water. It's the smallest and quietest of the five towns and is known for its vineyards and terraces. To reach Corniglia, visitors need to climb the Lardarina, a long brick flight of steps composed of 33 flights with 382 steps.

4. Manarola: Manarola is known for its charming and colorful houses that seem to cascade down the cliffside. It's an older town, famous for its sweet Sciacchetrà wine. The town is smaller and quieter than Monterosso but still vibrant, with a picturesque harbor where you can see locals swimming and fishing.

5. Riomaggiore: The easternmost of the five villages, Riomaggiore has a vertical layout, with houses stacked on top of each other along narrow, winding pathways. It's known for its historic character and offers a more traditional atmosphere. The town has a small beach and a bustling main street with shops and eateries.

What to Do:

Explore each village: Each has its own unique charm, from the beaches of Monterosso to the dramatic setting of Riomaggiore.

Enjoy the local cuisine: Try dishes like pesto pasta, fresh seafood, and focaccia, and sample local wines.

Hike the trails: The Sentiero Azzurro connects the villages and offers breathtaking views, but there are many other trails in the region as well.

Best Time to Visit:

The peak season is summer, particularly July and August, when the weather is warmest but the villages and trails can be crowded. Consider visiting in the shoulder seasons (spring or fall) for fewer crowds and milder weather. I went during end of October and the weather was absolutely perfect.

Unboxing the New Space Black Macbook 2023 asmr

Unboxing the new space black MacBook Pro.

Let's never forget that when Apple discontinued the jet black Macbook from ever a year ago, Kanye West took out all the parts from his new silver Macbook and put them into his old one. But now he doesn't have to do that anymore because Apple has blessed us with the option to buy the Macbook in Space Black right off the shelf.

Even though it’s not technically 100% black *cough* dark grey * cough* it’s close enough honestly and it was enough to make me swipe 💳 those digits.

Most of the videos I see are based on the specs of the M3 but I haven't seen too many videos focused about the aesthetics of the Macbook so I wanted to shoot a quick little video showing what the Space Black looks like up close. Enjoy!

Venice by Drone | 4k Cinematic Italy 🇮🇹

I was lucky enough to wake up in time to catch this beautiful sunrise over the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The city was already bustling with activity by 7am, with markets opening and the water taxis tugging along the waterways.

Venice's unique charm truly comes alive in this footage, offering a perspective that I hope allows you to appreciate the city's intricate layout and the way it harmoniously coexists with the water that surrounds it.

4 Brown Noise Life Hacks to Improve Your Quality of Life

Brown noise is a "color" of broadband sound that contains a wide range of frequencies that the human ear can hear. It joins a family of colors -- pink, white, blue noise, grey noise -- that all have been proven to have a variety of benefits, such as focus during studying, deeper sleeping, calmer meditations. 

In comparison to the other colors, Brown noise employs lower frequencies, which are thought to have a grounding and stabilizing effect on the mind and body.  So while the other noises use higher frequencies that make them sound a little like radio static, brown noise's deeper, lower frequencies give it a more rich, bellowing, rumbling sound.

I listen to brown noise every day, whether it be for relaxation, focus, or sleep. Hang out with me while I talk about some of my favorite lifehacks. 

My favorite 12 hour long brown noise: https://youtu.be/8uTMyAT2dlM

Smoothed brown noise with multi-layered detailed frequencies | ambient HD space for continuous 12 hours

Smoothed, deep, celestial brown noise for relaxation, sleep, concentration, and ambient mood-setting from the point of view of a spaceship traversing through space. Headphones recommended for the best experience. 

Benefits of brown noise: 

   ➭ relaxation

   ➭ improved focus

   ➭ deeper sleep

   ➭ block distractions and easier concentration

   ➭ achieve deep work/deep flow (ADHD benefit) 

   ➭ reduce stress 

   ➭ increase energy and productivity 

This deep brown noise was produced specifically for this video and specifically lacks the higher frequencies in order to achieve a smooth, celestial sound. 

The soundscape uses custom natural phase equalization curves to shape the noise generated, making it deep with very subtle mid-high frequencies for a very whistling sound over the deep bass. For a deeper effect and to engulf the listener, this mix uses two main techniques: a chorusing technique used in the mid-low frequencies making them oscillate at a very slow rate, and a custom reverb with a long tail. The inherent randomness of the noise combined with the spatial qualities of these techniques sets a very relaxing mood that never feels static or distracting.

This sound was produced in conjunction with João Guimarães (audio engineer)

Ambient Video | Slow Living in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica | Digital Nomad Diaries

Join me as I work from my laptop on a balcony overlooking the beach coast in the beautiful coastal town Santa Teresa. Perfect for two pomodoro cycles.

Santa Teresa has been tauted as the "the next Tulum," and for good reason. The small town is filled with cute cafes, upsale shopping, bustling nightlife, amazing energy, yet the feel of being yet discovered.

I spent almost two weeks here over New Year's Eve and was able to do a little self-reflection in the face of 2023. I got to hone my skills in surfing, as well as hike a beautiful waterfall, meditate to many sunrises, ride a scooter through the rainforest, eat more ceviche than my stomach could handle, and make a lifetime of new friends.
