Cloud Nothings Live Set
The Hobbit →
At CinemaCon, Peter Jackson debuted ten minutes of footage from the upcoming movie. The movie is being shot at 48 fps, which is double the normal rate that film is shot at, 24 fps. The clip of the film that was shown was criticized for looking so real that it looked fake. Jackson just shrugs off the criticism and says that people aren’t used to it and that ten minutes is tool small of a...
I wish →
Super cheap and super fresh specs, as in spectacles. I wouldn’t mind ditching the square for more of an oval shape.
Flint and Tinder are hanging the game, the underwear game. If you don’t like this kickstarter campaign then I am not sure what you could.

The piece talks about much a nice guy he is. A former coach named his son Durant, he is hard not to like. They spend a little too much time talking about the whole black nerd thing. He isn’t that nerdy, he said that he just likes the look. So he is a hipster then.
How do you lose 300 cars? →
Miami-Dade County bought a few hundred Prius’ and left them parked in a garage for five years. The city lost and forgot about them until now.

Quit money, move and live off the grid? Sounds like the dream in a lot of people.

People are unable to...
Walkers →
And I am not talking about The Walking Dead ones. Here is an article that is the start of a larger piece, about walking. How did America stop walking? Why do we walk? There are a lot of questions posed as to why walking has fallen out of favor with a lot of people. I find it extremely interesting, since I don’t have a car and I bike, longboard or walk everywhere I need to.
More Cabin →
Another interesting take on one of my favorite movies of the year.
Racism →
It still exists, in sports, in life and on twitter. Joel Ward scores the overtime goal to knock the Boston Bruins, the defending Stanley Cup Champions, out of the playoffs and twitter explodes with these tweets. I would say something but these tweets speak for themselves
Cabin in the Woods →
An article describing why, they think, it rules so hard. Cabin is just enough Whedon to hold me over till the Avengers finally Assemble, see what I did there? (Avengers Assemble is the international title of the film).
If you are a J Dilla fan, then you can buy a few thousand of his records, from his personal record collection. They were recently found in an abandoned storage unit
