Project Mkultra: One of the Most Shocking CIA Programs of All Time
Sep 23, 11:30AM
When the extent of the U.S. government's domestic spying program was revealed this past summer, many were surprised and outraged: how could a government which so prizes liberty of its citizens covertly collect data on its own people?

Sep 23, 10:38AM

The US Tylenol Problem, Visualized
Sep 23, 9:49AM
In the last 10 years, 1,500 Americans died after taking too much of one of—nominally—the world's safest drugs: acetaminophen or, as you might know it, Tylenol. This viz goes a long way to explaining why that's the case.

Tow Away Zone: Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra
Sep 23, 12:53AM
I love big band, but I also get that it can be lame. Like really really lame. But Thad Jones and Mel Lewis aren't like that. They and their band actually groove and are generally badasses, and their 1969 album Central Park North is a classic. "Tow Away Zone" is the first track and it's one of my favorites. Composed and arranged by Thad Jones (who plays flugelhorn), the chart has soul influences, but also conveys the urgency of a city like New York. Drummer Mel Lewis gives driving tempos to keep things moving without being overbearing. I think my favorite part of "Tow Away Zone" is the sort of shout chorus that happens at 2:38. It's a little different from how charts were usually set up in the 40s and 50s because there are moving lines rather than emphasizing unison, but that's what makes it fun. [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

Honestly This Compact Crossbow Is Quite Small
Sep 22, 11:52PM
There's no governing body proclaiming this the world's smallest crossbow, but it's only slightly larger than a full-sized crossbow arrow so it's got to be up there. Joerg designed this crossbow to be safe. The arrow is fully encapsulated so it won't accidentally shoot off in an unexpected direction. You cock the crossbow with strong rubber and it's the right length for the tip to stick out. That way the crossbow can accommodate all different broadheads and unload safely. It's 1.5 lbs without an arrow in it. And Joerg gives it the Slingshot Channel seal of approval: "Ideal as a backup crossbow!" Okay, you heard the man.

A Collaborative To-Do List App That You Might Actually Want To Use
Sep 22, 11:06PM
Here are two facts about me. Number 1: I have a roommate. Number 2: Sometimes I notice that there's no more dish soap in the hall closet. If my roommate and I used a collaborative to-do list app we could stay coordinated for the communal shopping, but we prefer different systems that can't sync to each other. That's why I really feel the motivation behind List Weaver.

This is Every Lego Lover's Dream Wedding
Sep 22, 10:00PM
So, you're thinking of walking that plank they call marriage? Sorry, that sounds cynical. What I mean is, "Are you ready for a lifetime of marital bliss, where everyday is full of rainbows and sunshine?" There's no better way to say "I do" than with Lego.

iPhone 5S' fingerprint security can be easily broken, hackers say
Sep 22, 9:43PM
Apple says that the new iPhone 5S' fingerprint sensor is "a convenient and highly secure way to access your phone." The former is true. The latter, not so much. The fingerprint security can be easily broken. Jealous spouses and industrial spies, rejoice!

Sep 22, 8:58PM
Summer is really over. For real. Today. No. Stop making cutoffs. Actually, if you're in the southern hemisphere summer is just beginning. You may proceed. The Earth will reach the equinox at 4:44 EST and the Slooh Space Camera is livestreaming now. If you haven't started talking about nutmeg and using words like "autumnal" you're way behind.

A Matching Numerical Keypad For Your Wireless Apple Keyboard
Sep 22, 8:00PM
Belkin's new YouType Bluetooth Wireless Keypad looks a lot like Apple's Magic Trackpad. But the only folks who might actually find it 'magical' are accountants, because Belkin trades gestures and multi-touch input for a set of numerical keys and extra shortcuts for navigating large documents.

What Would Happen If You Just Stopped Sleeping Forever
Sep 22, 7:00PM
It's a lazy Sunday. Maybe you slept in super late; that's kinda what Sundays are for. But what good is all that comatose-time doing you anyway? What if you just cut it out and were productive or something instead?

When Was the Last Time You Switched Cell Carriers?
Sep 22, 6:10PM
Everyone hates their carrier, right? That's just a thing. They're either so huge that you get ripped off and can't get any customer service, or they're so small that their service coverage is weird and their handset options are lousy. But it increasingly seems like there are viable alternative options. Like Republic Wireless's $20-a-month unlimited plan. It's actually solid and now the company is offering the Moto X. Is that tempting? Do you have some crazy grandfathered plan from the late 90s or do you move from deal to deal every few years? Jump ship or stay loyal below.

How To Be A Fly On the Wall From 100 Feet Up
Sep 22, 5:05PM
Last month we wrote about what it's like to be a window cleaner in New York City. The New York Times did a video profiling veteran Spiderman Brent Weingard and documenting him cleaning windows or just, you know, hanging out. It was great. But you gotta wonder who was behind the camera on that piece. Because whoever it was was up there too.

BBM Is Being Delayed For Android and iOS
Sep 22, 3:29PM
Look, we all know that BlackBerry is in a tail spin and has been for awhile. And at this point the situation can only become an incredible underdog story or a put the dog out of his misery moment. There's no status quo anymore. But somehow the hole keeps being dug deeper. BlackBerry announced an abysmal early earnings report and major layoffs on Friday, and now there's something else. BlackBerry was forced to release a statement yesterday saying that the new BBM apps for iOS and Android, which were supposed to be released yesterday and today respectively, are being delayed. And that's just suboptimal.

A Love Letter to My First Four Phones
Sep 22, 3:00PM
Last month was spent in a state of upheaval. After seven years in New York I was heading back to the opposite coast, which had led me to go though of the hundreds of pounds of accumulated junk one accidentally collects in boxes over the years.

A Crap Ton of Hot Glue Went Into This Beautiful Snowscape
Sep 22, 1:55PM
Looking out a window at fresh snow is beautiful. Even in cities there's a moment where everything is pristine, nothing is moving, and the snow dampens any noise. But if you're not stoked for winter or you live somewhere with eternal sunshine you can get your snow fix another way.

Why do people still wait in line for the new iPhone?
Sep 22, 4:28AM
Why do these people still wait in line to buy a new iPhone? Or a new console? Or a new game? What's the point? Do they think they're going to be more special than the rest of the world for 24 hours? A week perhaps? This video tries to get some answers.

Four Year Strong: Beatdown in the Key of Happy
Sep 22, 12:00AM
Vaguely screamy, ostensibly-semi-"hardcore"-but-mostly-without-the-"hard"-part pop punk isn't typically the foot you lead with if you want somebody to respect and admire your musical taste. But screw it, it's Saturday night and let's have some FUN.

Sep 21, 11:00PM
Astronaut Don Pettit personifies one of the zucchini plants aboard the International Space Station in his series "Diary of a Space Zucchini." Now New Hampshire Public Radio has given that zucchini and its existential reflections a voice.

Sep 21, 11:00PM
You're down and out. You need to make some quick cash. You're not opposed to criminal activity. What do you do? Cook meth? Nah, just sell some stolen graphing calculators out of state.

Every Museum Should Have a Flying RC Sailboat as a Sign
Sep 21, 11:00PM
The minimal facade of The New Museum has been host to some wild installations since it opened in 2007—ranging from a sign reading "HELL, YES!" to a giant long-stemmed rose. Today, workers finished installing the museum's latest outdoor sculpture: A 30-foot-high remote controlled ship by artist Chris Burden.
