The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Toe Jam (NSFW)
Jun 22, 4:00AM
If we're going to keep up the hypocritical charade of, on one hand, expecting pruitanical censorship of human anatomy while, on the other, selling 8-year-olds Juicy Couture then we might as well put those silly black bars to good use. Just look at what the Brighton Port Authority (BPA the band, not BPA the BPA) were able to accomplish. Frickin' PONG.

Duke Ellington: Jack The Bear
Jun 22, 3:00AM
This is gonna be a classy Friday night. You don't have to groove to Duke Ellington all the time, but when you do you should turn on Jack The Bear. This chart showcases Jimmy Blanton (Jack the bear...get it?), a bassist who at 22 brought the band to a new level in the early 1940s. Even if you hate 32-bar form and blues choruses, or you think pretentious nonsense is happening right now, listen to the end of the track for the bass solo. That's what it sounds like when someone nails it. [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

Jun 22, 2:00AM
Let's face it; Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing probably won't find the same billion-dollar box office success of The Avengers. But if this contribution of totally real cast interviews from co-stars BriTANick is any indication, it'll be a whole heck of a lot funnier.

Jun 22, 12:00AM

Please Don't Ruin Instagram With Crappy Videos
Jun 21, 9:40PM
An Instagram photo carries a certain artificial heft to it. There's a sense of importance, or at least permanence, to the photos we post to these accounts that you don't get from tweets or even status updates on Facebook. Instagram isn't naturally this way; it's developed this weight because everything on Instagram is beautiful. And with the addition of video, we've got a wonderful opportunity to make the platform more interesting—but we have to be careful.

Jun 21, 9:31PM
There's a reason that Topeak's MiniRocket iGlow bike bump won a 2013 Red Dot Design Award: the transparent barrel encases a internal optical fiber that turns a small red LED into a brilliantly-visible glowing safety strip. And at just 67 grams, it adds minimal weight to your bike's frame, so it's easy to always keep on hand. A pair of watch-sized batteries powers it continuously for up to 50 hours on its brightest setting, and 100 hours when dimmed.

The atrium of New York's Guggenheim Museum is usually a bustling space, filled with crisp light and crowds of visitors.

Jenga Didn't Need a Space Invaders Version, But We'll Take It
Jun 21, 8:00PM
Based on an incredibly simple concept, Jenga is one of those 'board' games that will never go out of style. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for branded versions that bring something new to the table. (The table that you're trying desperately not to bump.)

As I've mentioned before, time capsules typically don't have the most interesting things in them. You'll usually be lucky to find a handwritten note and a couple of photos. But every once in a while, a time capsule will emerge with some cool, decade-defining technology inside.

How a Slanted Skyscraper Will Share Sunshine With the High Line
Jun 21, 6:12PM
When you build a monolithic tower that reaches hundreds of feet up into the sky, it's going to cast a shadow. That can be a big problem for those on the ground, if they'd like to occasionally see the sun. But the designers of a new building being planned in lower Manhattan have figured out a way around the problem: An oddly-shaped building that will not only shed light on occupants, but spread it around for neighbors as well.

A trio of Chinese scientists have discovered a breakthrough process that could, at least in theory, allow a DVD to store a whopping 1,000 TB—or a full petabyte—of data. Suck on that, Blu-ray.
