Soon We'll Be Living in the Future

Hey-o, blogosphere! It's been too long. I've been busy with lots of interesting developments, but I'm here once again. I know I've posted a lot of interesting (to me, anyways) stuff on here, but this just might be the coolest thing I've come across. I can't even describe to you how amazing this device is. I guarantee within the next 10 years every single person in the developed world will have this on them. Mark my words. Dig it...

Bringing the lolz

Want to see something funny? I've been cracking up daily while checking out Look at This Fucking Hipster. Oh, and this video, which I found courtesy of some friends and I Love Local Commercials.

The Man Who [Told] the World

I've always been the kind of person that likes to look at life from different points of view. Occasionally, I find people who like to show them to me. The latest eye-opener has been Current TV's program, Vanguard. What a great show! They are putting together stories about things that I never knew about or that have been overlooked by the mainstream media and treating them with the care and attention that they deserve. To get a taste of what they're up to, check out this video in which one of their correspondents gets waterboarded!



Craziness! Another, albeit much less serious, view of our modern world comes courtesy of Sophie Blackall, an artists from Brooklyn whose creations are based on the missed connections she reads on the New York craigslist. Check out here art here.

Wow. I actually wrote on here two days in a row! Not that this is anything especially long, but I was just thinking: How can America produce technological advances like this and people like this? Also, lol at this:

"First of the fall and then she goes back/Bye bye bye bye there/Them summer days, those summer days ..."

So I spent the better part of the last 3 weeks sans internet, which is why I haven't been around here at all. I never realized how much of my life was tied to my computer until I was basically without it for that long. Scary stuff. However, I'm back with a treat. This is a little video directed by Marc Webb starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel for the phenomenal She & Him song "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?". If you haven't caught this trio's work in (500) Days of Summer, I suggest you do so right away because it's fantastic. So, without further ado, enjoy...
