Imagine, for a moment, that the next time you tell a story at a party, you’re unbound by silly things like “realism” and “the truth.” Sure, many of us are liberal with embellishments when spinning a yarn, but what if could make it up wholecloth? What kind of story would you tell? That’s the question […]
Do you like what we have been up to lately? We trolled Supreme, got love from Rachel Maddow, beat Tribeca Film Festival in the Vine game and reported from the front lines of #OccupyGezi. We interviewed artists, made mixtapes, documented graffiti in London and shot the “Rent Is Too Damn High” music video for Jimmy McMillan all over NYC. If last year we were about boxer […]
The graffiti in this timelapse video is great–Australian writer SOFLES absolutely crushes a complex of abandoned buildings–but just as impressive is the video itself. Shooter/editor Selina Miles keeps the camera moving around the buildings throughout the complex, which, for timelapse photography, is both technically challenging and just really nice to look at. Take a look […]

Just use the PRISM Break guide and convert to alternative browsers, operating systems and programs in lieu of the many proprietary applications many of us have become so accustomed to using on a day to day basis. For example, instead of Apple Safari, […]
As the hubbub surrounding 3D-printed guns reaches fever pitch, one New York City Councilman is pushing legislation that would heavily regulate the weapons. The bill, which will be introduced today by Brooklyn Democrat Lew Fidler, would ban manufacture of the guns without a gunsmith license and require owners to give their weapons an ID number and […]

By now, if you care about these sorts of things, you’ve seen iOS 7, the new Apple mobile operating system that will be running your life come fall. It’s “flat!” It’s filled with colorful gradients!
