There used to be a site outlining just how terrible Lotus Notes is that I was hoping to link to, but I couldn't find it, so you're just going to have to use your imagination.)

Explorey Stories: An adventure in storytelling. For those of you with kiddies in your life, I urge you to check out my friend John's project, Explorey Stories. It's currently in funding mode on Kickstarter, but assuming they raise the dough, they'll create an app that lets you turn classic stories into adventures. How you ask? John is of the NYC theatre crew, so he knows a thing or two about storytelling. The app will come with tips on how to tell the story, how to make it interactive (with props from your own home) and side tracks that have more of an educational bent for your kids.

Alcohol-free bar offers sober haven in London.

If you've ever had a friend in Alcoholics Anonymous, you know one of the hardest things is organizing birthday parties. You don't realize how much revolves around drinking until you're trying to plan something fun that involves absolutely no drinking. Which is why I think the idea of an alcohol-free bar in London is pretty rad. It's perfect for visitors of AA, but it's also great for those who want a healthy evening out with DJs still involved ;)
