Acquired We Feel Fine: An Almanac of Human Emotion in the mail. If there was ever an apt, earnest, yet explanatory title for a book — this is it. The brainchild of Sep Kamvar and Jonathan Harris (who found a pretty awesome project to spend their lives on), it's a gorgeous tome, saturated in human faces, beautiful infographics, and overall excellent design. Both useful and fun, all things I can stand for.
Some months ago, a nice lady named Hannah contacted me for consent to use this photo:
I had been a fan of the website — its fusion at the crossroads of data and expression deeply drew me in, in my ongoing quest to understand humanity — and now my face is on page 101.
Hannah asked for a story, so I explained briefly. The caption reads:
After struggling with Aspergers and Depression in his real life Torley found true happiness in his Second Life. He even found love.
We Feel Fine is incredibly rich and I've only pored through the first few pages. It's overwhelming in the best of ways to see such a mix of resolve, vulnerability, confusion, elation, the sexy – really, everything humans are capable of emoting – and I'm delighted to be a lil' part of it. You can get it at Amazon or other reputable booksellers, and it's not too late for holiday shopping yet. Including for your fave aliens who need a guide to understanding humans better.

I am so purchasing this now. Not only because it seems like a fantastic book, but because your face is on it!
YAYZARAMA!
