Several awesome things are happening right now: Chris Anderson, the editor of Wired Magazine, is continuing to perplex people with innovative approaches to business. The dude is a scientist living in the business world. Scientists always piss off business people because they approach problems diferently and usually create a better solution than their b-school trained counterparts. Mr. Anderson is following up on his debut book, The Long Tail , with another highly anticipated book, Free . Free will confront the biggest obstacle for most consumers: paying money for stuff. Try wrapping your head around how companies [...]
Tuesday, June 2nd 2009 will go down as one of the most amazing moments in my recent memory. Here are the occurrence of events leading to this fantastical of days. 11am: after eating a bagel w/ cream cheese and an over-ripe banana, I sat down at the comp to drink my 16oz of Costa Rican coffee and surf the web for jobs. 11:30am: after a less than inspiring run through craigs shit list, I decided to check a few of my favorite music blogs for some new music. 11:37am: scrolling down GorillavsBear.net , [...]
A good friend of ours brought this smile inducing stop motion short film to our attention today and we feel it is definitely worth passing along to you. Tomas Mankovsky's "Sorry I'm Late" is a great piece of art and the time spent on making this project really shows in the final product. After you watch the video, be sure to check out the official website to watch videos from the making of the short.

So this video caught my eyes and ears a few weeks back and I cannot seem to get it out of my head. Up and coming MC Nyle and his fellow NYU school of music students kill this long take cover of Lil' Wayne's "Let The Beat Build." If you find yourself uninterested within the first 30 seconds, just suck it up and watch till the end, you will not be disappointed. Bonus Track! While digging for info on Nyle, I came across another rad artist the [...]

Andrew Bird has been doing his thing since 1996. Thats 13 years on the grind. I was in 7th grade riding a Diamond Back with pegs and rocking a bowl cut back then…But seriously, Bird's latest album, Noble Beast, is a perfect Sunday morning soundtrack. Full disclosure: I am obsessed with music featuring violins and this guy plays a mean one in all sorts of funky ways. So cop it, and post up with some serious folk-rock and a cup of coffee this Sunday morning to ease away Saturday's [...]

Bump is an app that basically solves the problem of having to manually input a new contact into your phone. You select which contact fields you like to send over and then hold your phone in your fist and give the old college bro fist bump to your new friend who does the same. This feature is great but it does have one small problem. If you're potential new friend doesn't have the app they'll have to download it before you can bro your way to getting their info. This would be most effective as a native iPhone [...]
