Why We Absolutely Love The Idea of Apocalypse

There's something about the grand open vistas of an apocalypse. What an opening line. Reminds me of, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." But what is it about the crazy open worlds of a post apocalypse, or a dystopian world that are so very enticing?

Greatest Sister Pwnage Ever

Greatest Sister Pwnage Ever - All hail Jillian Haker. Greatest brother pwner of all time. I love this... so much. Makes me giggle every single time. heheh.

Heather Dewey-Hagborg Art or Stolen DNA

Recently Heather Dewey-Hagborg flipped a whole lot of people out by taking random swabs of people's "dropped" DNA and converting it into busts and displaying them in an art gallery. The show was entitled "Stranger Visions". Specifically the samples she was "finding" were from people in and around New York City, but they could have been from anywhere.

Watch Black Mirror Now

Each episode is a social jab, and a very loud and in your face commentary as life as we know it today. Hackers steal brain storage drives. Political Mutually Assured Distruction flaunts itself as Performance Nihilism. Voyeurism becomes rallying cries becomes voyeurism again. Its truly one of the most cleverly written shows I've ever encountered.

Fishing For Piranhas, Single Craziest Stunt Ever

Fishing For Piranhas, Single Craziest Stunt Ever - Everything about this cute little video COMPLETELY FREAKS ME OUT. It's the little things, like the fact that the woman is standing on a plank, over the water, in FLIP-FLOPS for all that's good and holy. This is beyond wrong.

Facebook A-Reel Competition Uncovered

I left Facebook a long long time ago. Alright, granted, I do have an F-book account... with one friend (my lovely wife.) but that's different. Regardless, this video is a lot of the reason as to why I plan to not use F-book ever and to not wander back to the voyeuristicness of that crazy world.

All Country Really Does Sound The Same

All Country Really Does Sound The Same - I really don't have much to say here besides... I TOTALLY KNEW IT. Finally, someone has given us incontrovertible evidence proving that all Country music songs sound exactly the same. This video is an awesome mashup of six "different" songs. Amazing really. I'm done here.

Glitter Bomb an Enemy

Glitter Bomb an Enemy I really should have been paying attention to my bosses when they were asking me important...

The New Old Art of Modern Breakdancing

Have I told you guys I totally dig documentaries of all stripes and colors before? Oh, that's right, I have, more than once. Well this short documentary out on Vimeo entitled Litefeet by Scott Carthy, is riveting. Apparently dancing on subway trains in New York is illegal?

3D Cardboard Safari Genius

Oh my merciful and fantastic creator are these guys in Virginia the epitome of uberness and all things cool! You can purchase cardboard builds of everything from a human skull, to a mounted boar, to a stag, to a spaceship?! This is the shizzle right here! hahah. Each of the cardboard builds go for like 30 to 40 bucks. But the idiot in me is like, um, but I want to MAKE one myself!

A New Game From Braid Developer Jonathan Blow

A New Game From Braid Developer Jonathan Blow - I just can't contain myself. It's been like Christmas everyday around here of late. So many think outside the box things going on in the world of movies, books and games. This news is going to take a little bit of setup for some of you. (Oh alright, 92% of you.)

Fireworks in her eyes a micro story

There were fireworks in her eyes. At least, that's what he thought he remembered anyway. It was the only explanation or description he could come up with now that he was unplugged. Their faces had been pressed together, the pressure intense. Eyeball to eyeball.

Top Posts of 2014 Taylor Holmes Inc

I hate reading top ten lists that inevitably come at the end of the year. Every blog from here to Tajikistan and back are running them right now. Best underated and undetected video games of the year. Best books for travelers for 2014. Best paying jobs of 2014 and beyond. Greatest overlooked vacations spots. Marginally good, but not great kayak deals. The Greatest Mountain trails you missed in 2014 and haven't the endurance to get to in 2015. You get the idea.

Everything & Everything & Everything & Carruth

So I caught wind that there was a new short called Everything & Everything & Everything and um... Carruth is in it. After falling on the floor, and self-administering an intracardiac injection of epinephrine... I literally emailed everyone in Hollywood associated with the movie I could get my hands on. (I seriously did. I'm sure I'm now on all of the major motion picture house's spam blockers. I kid you not.)
