Dec 27, 1:00PM
Despite being a great idea, public transit always seems to be fighting an uphill battle for public opinion.

Everyone needs to watch this impossibly funny movie trailer right now
Dec 26, 11:22PM
Wolf of Wall Street? Meh. American Hustle? Please. Anchorman 2? Tired. The Hobbit? I dare you. None of those movies in theaters right now compare to the epic awesomeness that is Kung Fury. Never heard of it? It's okay. Just watch the trailer. It combines all the cheesy glory of 80's cop movies with Kung Fu, killing Hitler, guns, Vikings, computer hacking, time travel, DeLoreans and dinosaurs

Dec 26, 9:00PM
Using a pinhole camera she fashioned from an Assam tea tin, Heather Champ recorded the sun's path over the past year—from Winter Solstice to Winter Solstice—in what just might be the ultimate form of delayed gratification. The San Francisco-based photographer placed the makeshift device outside her home for the duration, and the resulting ultra-long-exposure solargraph represents 365 days of world turning.
