Over Under Toilet Paper Discussion

Over Under Toilet Paper Discussion - And yes. I also am an avowed overrer too. And I too am going to begin folding my toilet paper extras in a v-shaped fashion just to give that high class, "just been cleaned" feeling. To all you underrers... the facts are all here for you to make the right choice. All you need to do is admit you need help, and we overrers will be here to help in a heartbeat.

A Guide To the Wrath of God REVISED

So, there is this fairly clever guide that walks us all through the various things that will get one killed by God in a number of different religions. Being a devout Christian I read it and chuckled at many of the entries and the wildness of it all. And then I noticed something... It's completely and totally wrong.

John Oliver My New Favorite Thing Ever

John Oliver My New Favorite Thing Ever - This is will be difficult to drive home correctly. With the right intensity and perspective. How to amp this at the right level. I need a volume 11 for this post. WHICH I GUESS I COULD DO IN ALL CAPS. But I don't know if even that will drive the correct insight to what I am wanting to say here. So, with that in mind. I'm going to say it slowly. And precisely. John Oliver. Is my new. Favorite thing. Ever.

For the Uber Geek Star Wars Despecialized Edition

So if there are legal world wide distribution issues, and damage to the negative issues... what's a fan to do? Create Your Own, Apparently. And that is what one fan has done. I have it on good authority, let's call this authority "A FRIEND OF MINE", that not only is this "Despecialized" version is a possibility, it is in fact a reality.

Magically Annoying Magic Trick

Magically Annoying Magic Trick - Awesomeness. These two guys are my new heroes. Two guys, perpetrate their magic trick and leave. Over. And over. And over again. Fantastic.

Doodling is a Morning Shower Equivalent

Doodling is a Morning Shower Equivalent - A week or two ago I spent tons of hours in phone interviews and while deep in conversation I found myself doodling. And yet, hiring employees is THE MOST important thing I do at work. Literally nothing that I do is more important. Its just the most synergistically enabling thing possible right? But if I hire the wrong person - it could be the entropy enabling thing that I could do, right?

Random Thoughts On the Gone Girl Movie

Random Thoughts On the Gone Girl Movie - Random Thoughts On the Gone Girl Movie - The latest Gone Girl trailer and the resultant churn around it has been really fascinating to me. "OH MY GOSH - Did Ben Affleck's new role kill his wife?!", "He's being investigated for murder?!", "Why'd he take this role?", "Should I read the book and ruin the movie?", "I can't wait!". Etc, etc. Really makes me chuckle. What they don't realize is that Gillian Flynn re-wrote a different ending from the book for the screenplay. Did you catch that? The movie ends differently than the book. Hard stop. For those of you who haven't read the book... that is the end of this blog post for you. Thanks for swinging by. I'm diving into spoilers for you - ie, I'm going down a layer. Go away already.

Amazon Customer Service Epicness

Amazon Customer Service Epicness - This definitely made my day. Great job @Amazon. Well played all around. My job of spreading happiness and joy is complete. (This came from a Reddit thread... )

Ridley Scott The Martian Blade Runner 2 and Prometheus 2

Ridley Scott The Martian Blade Runner 2 and Prometheus 2 - But now Ridley has his hands full with three new enormous movies under his purview. The are two that I am incredibly excited about. The first one (not in any particular order) is The Martian. The Martian is a brilliant Robinson Crusoe type of story with a man that is accidentally abandoned on Mars by himself. The book was written by Andy Weir. The Martian was unlike any book I had ever read before. I kept expecting it to be something completely different than it was. And it continued to surprise me time after time. Just a fantastic and clever book end to end.

Shepard Fairey Murals the Country

Shepard Fairey Murals the Country - Shepard Fairey, the artist best known in popular culture for his HOPE graphic of Obama, has spent the last two months putting up murals around the country. Before his Obama portrait Fairey was better known in the art world for his Obey Giant street art that centered on a portrait of Andre the Giant. Shepard has been using his distinctive style to hit some really enormous swatches of wall in five different major metropolitan areas of the country. Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, South Carolina, & New York were all hit with Fairey's amazing propoganda and Obey artistic style. Here are a couple a shots from the country-wide tour.

Automata Movie Dystopian Glory

Automata Movie Dystopian Glory - Automata totally looks like an even better Blade Runner dystopia than Blade Runner 2 could ever be. It looks really tight. Very interested. And the plot looks fantastic as well. Not sure about having Puss and Boots, Antonio Banderas play the lead. But he used to be a huge box draw. No? Eh. What worries me though is Melanie Griffith. Did you see her in that trailer? Oh my holy botox backlash Batman. What went wrong there? Sheesh. Eventually actors and actresses are going to realize that its just better to sag than stay frightfully and unnaturally taught their entire lives. Just say no to cosmetic surgery folks.

Banksy In New York Book Available - “Banksy in New York” by writer and photographer Ray Mock is the ultimate companion to Banksy’s month-long project on the streets of New York in October, 2013.

Must Have Steam Punk Internet Speedometer

So there is a Kickstarter from heaven happening right now. A Steampunk download speed gauge from heaven. Support this Kickstarter and assemble your own. He'll even build it for you depending on your support level. But it actually looks like a fun kit to build to me.

Nina Lindgren and her Cardboard Cities

Nina Lindgren and her Cardboard Cities - Nina Lindgren has a simple style that evokes a childlike perfection to it. She is an emerging artist that works the holy trifecta of illustration, photography and printmaking. And now she has taken a dip into the world of architecture with her latest creations of cardboard box cities. Nina has been crafting a series of geometric cardboard houses that blow the door off of anything I've ever seen before.
