SHAD: The Old Prince Still Lives At Home
Jun 17, 1:00AM
Honestly, I don't know. I just feel like some nights you have to shake it up, and SHAD definitely agrees. The most incredible thing to me about "The Old Prince Still Lives At Home," released in 2007 and rereleased in 2009, is how accurately the video recreates the Fresh Prince theme video. It's pretty shot for shot. Apparently it won a Bucky Award, which is just the tip of the recognition iceberg this deserves. Also, I don't know what a Bucky Award is. [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

In The Tragicomedy That Was Your Childhood Who Played Your Dad?
Jun 17, 12:00AM
People seem to have strong feelings about TV dads. They round them up and rank them. And no one ever really got over the whole Danny Tanner situation. But which TV dad is your dad? If it's not immediately obvious (mine is definitely Bill Nye) then you may need some help. And it exists! This flowchart will help you figure out an alter-ego for that guy who was never around. Or was always around. Whatever, Dads are cool. [Blip via Digg]

A Lethal Slingshot That Shoots Metal Oreos
Jun 16, 11:33PM
A few months ago Joerg (I feel like we're on a first name basis with him at this point, right?) got the idea to try and shoot Oreos out of a pump-action slingshot. It was a fun time, but not as deadly as he would have liked. So round two of the Oreo challenge involves oreo-sized metal washers. Not surprisingly they cause more destruction.

A Self-Sustaining Hut For The Modern Hermit
Jun 16, 10:20PM
If your world is feeling overwhelmingly and counter-productively materialistic it may be time to downsize your life and move into a hut. That's normal, right? And for all your sacrifice your minimalist hut can be built by celebrity architect Renzo Piano. Intrigued?

The NSA Can Afford To Store Data From Years Of Phone Calls
Jun 16, 7:57PM
There's been a lot of talk about the NSA and its data-gathering policies. The news sounds kind of scary. But you might be thinking that the NSA can't have literally every foreign and domestic call made in the U.S.. That would be a crazy amount of data right? Well, yes it would be, and it kind of seems like they have it. Or at least could afford to keep it if they wanted to.

These Beautiful Iridescent Clouds Are Actually Foreboding
Jun 16, 6:24PM
It used to be that you could only see these shimmering cloud formations, called noctilucent clouds, if you were in the North or South Pole. But lately they've been on the move, and though they're pretty to look at, their presence away from the Poles may be sign of climate change.

Which Of Your Gadgets Has The Most Impressive Battery Life?
Jun 16, 5:17PM
For 4.5 years I used a 15" macbook pro from mid-2008. It had changeable batteries so twice I went to Apple and convinced them to give me a new one for free. The three batteries I used in that machine were very different. The first one was a champ. It would last for six hours at its peak. It degraded slowly and predictably over time. It was reliable. But then, after two blissful years, it started throwing out Service Battery alerts.

A GIF Is Being Transmitted Into Space For The First Time
Jun 16, 3:41PM
Humans haven't even been off-planet for a century and we're already leaving trash everywhere. The moon. Mars. Our atmosphere. It's gross. And honestly it was only a matter of time before a similar digital barrage began.

Mozilla Wants Scientists To Be More Open
Jun 16, 2:22PM
When researchers needed an easier way to share data and resources, and generally collaborate they invented the internet. And then they all went home and let the memes and brunch photos take over. Which is weird. Sure, initiatives like CERN are able to coordinate thousands of scientists toward common goals as a result of the internet, but the process of publishing research really hasn't changed much.

By The Way, The NSA Doesn't Need A Warrant To Listen To Your Calls
Jun 16, 1:15PM
In a "secret briefing" to Congress the NSA confirmed that their analysts can listen to phone calls without a warrant and totally at their individual discretion. So . . . not just metadata. You know things have gotten weird because at this point it's not even that surprising.

The Old-School Tech from the NSA's Past
Jun 16, 1:00AM
The NSA's high-tech, new school surveillance system has been getting a whole lot of attention lately, but their old-school digs are worth a look as well. The agency has been around since the 1950s, originally tasked with cracking wartime codes, the NSA's gear has always been cutting edge, and the old stuff is amazing and funny to look at now.

Scientists Have Found the Ancient Secret of Indestructible Concrete
Jun 15, 9:30PM
For the most part, we humans are better at things than we were thousands of years ago. But there are some things the ancients had down pat. Roman concrete, for instance, is just way better than anything we can whip up today. Finally, after some 2,000 years, modern-day scientists have figured it out. And it's a secret worth knowing.

Wow, a 4K TV For $1080 Is Simply Bonkers
Jun 15, 4:26PM
A couple of months ago, Seiki announced a 50-inch 4K TV with a suggested MSRP of $1500—which is still an absurd price point for a 4K TV. The price has continued to drop, and now Amazon's selling it for $1081.

"We See in Every Direction" is a web browser you can share with dozens of other Internet denizens all at once. It is the best and the worst.
