Happy Monday. Lacey and I really enjoyed celebrating Laura's graduation from Westmont this weekend and had a great time with family. Now, to some links:

• I have been thinking about this quote a bit this weekend: "God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself because it is not there. There is no such thing." -C.S. Lewis"

• David Ramirez did us a huge favor by putting out some new songs for us to feast our ears on. Download "The Rooster" here. And check out his new song, "The Forgiven", below:

• I recently saw this photo of all living U.S. Presidents. What do you think they're talking about in that moment?

• I am always a sucker for French national soccer uniform press. Nike always makes them so elegant.

• A cool look into the artwork for John Mayer's most recent record, "Born & Raised".

• If you're not familiar with Sleeping At Last, you haven't been around these parts much. Today is a perfect opportunity to give some of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear a listen.

• Do you have Spotify yet? If not, you need to get it. It will change your musical life.

• Only a few hours left to back Indoek on Kickstarter. Indoek is a bi-coastal, surf-centric blog celebrating independent waveriding culture mixed with all things creative and inspiring.

• Cool for Instagram to start letting users tags others in photos!

• Did you guys see the recent link for the first website ever?

• I love the 'celloboxing' Kevin does in these videos. Check out the song here:

Happy April Fools Day, Fools!

• Late last night, I saw on TechCrunch that Twitter was going to start charging $5/month to post tweets with vowels in them. For the first 10 seconds, I did not realize it was already April Fools day.

• Photo of me surfing below. April Fools! Not really me, but I do love the photo!

• Kid President is taking over. Love his April Fools video:

Up in Pasadena enjoying a wedding weekend, but here are some fun things from the week:

• Really dig this Chris Burkard photo:

• Two of my favorite menswear companies, J. Crew & Apolis have come out with a new collaboration. Take a look!

• My new Osprey bag is on the way to our place for our trip this summer. Thanks to Austin Mann for the recommendation!

• Been listening to the Tree Ring all week after the house show earlier this week. The songs are SO good.

• Excited for The Inlaws to have their new EP out!

• Interesting for Google be releasing a competitor to Evernote...

• IC + SXSW + Noah Gunderson: Sweet.

• Love trying out new apps, and if you're just looking for a spot to write and eventually collaborate, Draft seems pretty cool.

• Even though I am really committed to Things, checking out TeuxDeux again has been fun as they've been beefing it up a bit.

• Pretty crazy to realize Invisible Children has been going on for 10 years! Fun to look back at the early videos and think of how many lives have changed because of the movement.

I really enjoy these profile videos which let you take a look into someone's life and work. Chris Burkard's newest video is no exception.

• The Digital Age is here. I've loved the rehearsal videos they have posted, and this one just happens to be of one of my favorite Griffin Kelp songs.

• Check out this great article on WELD in Dallas. Great interview with Austin Mann about coworking.

• Sweet blog from Aloha Sunday on dawn patrol at Black's.

• Stumbled on this a few months ago, but get a kick out of this Hipster Branding site.

• Euro 2012 started today. Pretty pumped.

• The Young Oceans record has been blowing my mind. I got to spend some time with Eric in Brooklyn a few weekends ago and there is so much about his person that translates in his music that I love. Make sure to download the record for FREE at noisetrade.com/youngoceans.
