With so many using social media, this article from the New York Times provides interesting insight into how immersed we are with our devices. DJ Whoo Kid lets us tag along with him and observe his typical routines and level of engagement with social media, as he attempts to stay connected and break down physical barriers by providing virtual access into his activities and interests. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/11/nyregion/dj-whoo-kid-a-social-media-butterfly.html?src=dayp For those who seek adventure, the writing's on the wall. I see the future, through the crystal of my ball. One week vid of Jack. Yeah, I'm obsessed. Already planning Bad Grandpa 2 episodes. Jack celebrated his one-week anniversary on Thursday, October 24th. We celebrated by breaking down film, drinking some milk, pooping, and taking some naps. Life is good.
While I'm not in the public spotlight or looking to "tame the social media dragon," with over 45 million twitter followers hanging on her every tweet, Katy Perry knows something about the art of social media. Yeah, so what: she has 44,999,955 more twitter followers than me; some of this advice is still relevant. It's a safe bet that what she has to say is practical to you, too. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2013/10/21/twitter-queen-katy-perry-offers-social-media-tips/3098961/ I have what you call a sweet tooth. For my entire life I've struggled with modification issues and portion control. It's interesting that researchers are currently investigating how particular foods trigger pleasure centers in our brains. Does this mean that food products will be scrutinized and regulated in the future? How will these findings impact our personal freedoms and rights? Will corporations be regulated or face sanctions do to how their products impact consumers? http://www.today.com/health/addicted-oreos-you-truly-might-be-8C11399682 Are you someone that lends a helping hand? Do your emotions sometimes get the best of you? One thing's for sure: the stakes rise when a trip to the World Series is on the line. Have you heard the debate about Torii Hunter's amazing attempt to rob Big Pappi's 8th inning Grand Slam and the Boston Police Officer who celebrated his miss--not necessarily his fall--from the Boston bullpen? Check out this video. If Boston advances to the World Series, this just might be their defining moment. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/torii-hunter-on-celebrating-cop-help-me-then-cheer-fool/?source=emailshare As LL Cool J once screamed, "Don't Call It a Comeback!" While music industry insiders proclaim the inevitable death of the CD, as more an more consumers prefer the convenience of purchasing their music digitally and corporations are identifying strategies to cut costs, an audiophile rejuvenation is underway. More and more artists are producing their work on vinyl to appease fans clamoring for the very best hi fidelity experience. Rocking well into their third decade, Pearl Jam has been a long-time proponent of the LP. Their 10th studio album, Lightning Bolt, released today, is available on vinyl, while earlier albums in their catalog--not currently being pressed--are now collectors items. If you dig music, consider kicking it old school and converting to the turntable for your home listening experience. The sounds may not be portable, but they're not compressed either. For consumers, vinyl offers a gateway into the experiences intended by the artists. Not to mention the liner notes: artwork and supplemental material the way it's supposed to be shared--not folded up like a napkin and squeezed in a square. Support your local record store, conduct your own personal "treasure hunt", and strive to build a collection that defines your personal tastes and styles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4319gEKg9Os |
