Pacific Rim
Watch the trailer for Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro’s newest sci-fi movie. There are larger-than-life monsterous creatures, massive robots, and more expoloding things than you can shake a stick at. What more do you need from a movie? You want more? Fine, I will throw in Ron Perlman.
Roku schmoku
We got a Roku! If you are unawares, the Roku is neat thing that streams video & movies from your Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc. to your television. No more sitting at the computer to watch movies. The Roku allows you to sit on your couch! They have tv stations as well, so you can stream television. It’s insane.ly.cool. roku »
Dancing With an iPod in Public
Something about this made me so giddy when i saw it. This young individual aptly named Preston does a series of videos on youtube. This one is particularly wonderful, not because of the silly song, it’s just so…happy. It will make you smile I hope. Check out his other ones on his youtube page.
Mother’s Day with Paper Source
I used to work at Paper Source in Oak Park, and always wanted to buy everything. Not just a few things, everything. They have since added so many new things to buy that are pretty, It’s ridiculous. If you are lucky enough to live near one, stop by for a last minute Mother’s Day Gift! paper source »
What you didn’t learn in school
Or maybe you did, I don’t know. But Ira Glass has some words of wisdom about storytelling, that truly applies to any creative field. Give it a listen, and then go support someone you know who is trying their hardest to create something!
Secrets From the Potato Chip Factory
Here’s a neat little view of how Herr’s makes their potato chips. I suppose it’s sad that so much of industry today is automated by machines. But it’s still a cool process and fun to see.
The Social Dept.
I recently came across this excellent T-shirt company, The Social Dept. They have something for the sports fan, the designer, and anyone who lives in a state contained by the United States. Which is a lot of you. social dept »
Easter should not be horrifying
Now that Easter is pretty much over, I don’t feel bad about sharing these bizarre and completely disturbing Easter bunny pictures. I apologize for giving you nightmares.easter »
Eat your way across your state
This website has all the spots that Guy Fieri features on his show Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. There are 7 in Connecticut so far, we’ve been to a few (one right here in our home town!). Visit some near you too! flavortown »
Bottled History
This is so great. Short 4-minute film about an Australian man who makes ships-in-a-bottle. Holy cow, what an artist, and what a humble man. Just goes to show you that you will never be too old for anything.
