🤠 Ted Lasso

Jason Sudeikis (SNL) stars as an American football coach that is hired to coach a professional soccer team in England. Based on this sketch, the show is well written and I love Ted’s unrelenting optimism. ⚽️

🚐 BEAST MODE ADVENTURE VAN

I’ve been watching a lot of vantours lately, where they show how they converted a normal van into a campervan. Many of these builds are DIY, but I kinda like the professional builds better. Take Storyteller Overland's Beast Mode Adventure Van for example. It's based on a Mercedes Sprinter, looks amazing and has so many cool options! I would love to own (or rent) one and take it across the world.

The Van Gogh Museum has dramatically redesigned its website. The website now features more ways of inspiring people with Van Gogh’s life and work. Lots of nice "scrolly-telling" content and a new "Vincent for scale" feature 😄

OffLimits is a cereal and culture brand (🤷‍♂️) built around emotionally unstable, counterculture cartoon characters. We offer a unique approach to cereal, using it as a functional fix. More about the brand here, and check out their funky website below. (Competition for Magic Spoon?)
