Hanson: MMMBop
Oct 13, 12:30AM
This song. This. Song. I mean really. But consider the video, too. There are gems in here people. First of all, boy can these kids fit in the backseat of a car. Note also their ability to all ride simultaneously in what appears to be an Army Jeep. They also have fun on public buses. Diverse modes of transportation being depicted. The brothers apparently play near highways and potentially run across them for fun/to plant things on the other side. Also note the presence of timelapse technology. That flower is blossoming before our very eyes! Cue greenscreen. They're in strange cities, using pay phones, generally being wacky. Oh and look, they're playing around on the moon. Jokesters! I will leave you with two important thoughts. 1. Rollerblades. 2. That hair. Thank you. [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

Optical Illusions Make A Boring Desk Unexpectedly Amazing
Oct 12, 10:27PM
Never Hide Films has been working with Ray Ban since 2007 to put out weird videos that make you think about the world differently. And ideally make you want to go buy sunglasses. This one, titled "Super Clever Sunglass Illusion," has enough twists to keep the momentum going. And I don't think it's a spoiler, given the title, to say that things on that desk are not what they seem. Though I do think it's kind of presumptuous to call a video "super clever." We'll be the judge of that. But yeah, okay it is.

The Government Shutdown Has Created a Science Ghost Town at NIH
Oct 12, 8:51PM
With days of the shutdown dragging on, projects and services across almost all government agencies are, you know, stalled.

Hundreds of experiments with animals and cell lines are in jeopardy because researchers can't go to work.

And now the Grasshopper has taken its biggest hop yet to 744 meters aka 2,441 feet aka almost half a mile. Pretty slick.

We've all done tech support for family members and it tends to start basic. Did you restart? Have you ever downloaded updates ever? Why are you trying to buy WD-40 from Amazon Japan? And often it's as simple as resetting a password.

Sleeping In Public Just Keeps Getting Easier
Oct 12, 1:19PM
Like ostriches themselves, the Ostrich Pillow is enigmatic and generally fascinating. Who would use it? Is it appropriate for children? Is it a sex toy? Hard to say! But it looks downright comfortable for napping. The only issue is carrying it.

When they said "sleep with the fishes," I'm pretty sure they didn't mean it in the biblical sense.

New York: A City Documentary to End All City Documentaries
Oct 12, 2:00AM
I remember my very first trip to New York City at eight years old in vivid—though brief—detail. A flash of Columbus Circle horns blaring, buildings towering. A pack of baseball cards from a surly street vendor. A seagull on the Circle Line, shitting on my leg. "This city is scary," I thought. "I want to come back."

This Groovy Pizzeria Has Its Own Spinning Disco Ball Oven
Oct 11, 11:20PM
Wood-fired pizza is absolutely a slice above the 30-minutes-or-less variety that gets delivered to your door, and it's pretty common for restaurants that employ the process to make the massive, rustic ovens the visual centerpiece of the room, so folks dining-in can see their pies emerge. Vienna-based creative collective Madame Mohr took a different aesthetic direction for a local pizzeria, turning the oversized kiln into a groovy disco ball—that freaking spins around!

Oct 11, 11:00PM
Even though it might not look like much when it's so far away, the Moon is pretty huge. In fact, if it was a little closer—as close as the ISS for example—it would monopolize the entire sky.

Oct 11, 10:20PM
Despite the government being shut down, this week brought us a bevy of new gizmos to play with. I'll leave it up to you to determine whether that's some kind of evidence that the mere existence of government hinders the rollout of electronic devices — for now, we talk about gadgets!

Britain's Colorful Burglar Alarms Are Oddly Mesmerizing
Oct 11, 9:40PM
When you think of iconic graphic design, you might think of magazine ads or highway signs or even design-centric companies like American Airlines. You almost certainly don't think of burglar alarms. But maybe you should.
