When you walk inside an Apple store and start swiping one of their iPads, a clingy, colorful shirt wearing person usually attaches themselves to you and gives you the verbal rubdown of the features.

St. Vincent's New Video Takes Place In a City Fit for Le Corbusier
Feb 01, 2:00AM
St. Vincent is kind of like that girl from high school. You know the one. She didn't care about the popular kids. She wore vintage clothes before they were cool, and she drove to the city on the weekends to see art house flicks with her friends who were already in college. Damn, that girl was cool.

Adult-sized child made a street legal Little Tikes Car that goes 70mph
Feb 01, 1:11AM
Do you know what the most disappointing thing about being an adult is? It's not the slow metabolism or the achy joints or the plateau of growth, it's the fact that we're all failures to our childhood selves. We don't eat candy, we don't play with toys and we drive responsible vehicles. Not John Bitmead though, he's the type of full-fledged adult who wouldn't disappoint his childhood self because he made a street legal Little Tikes Car that can zoom up to 70mph.

Jan 31, 11:36PM
Remember how frustrating those Magic Eye images were when you were a kid? It seemed like everyone but you could see the hidden message.
