Good news today for both Apple’s iMessage and the neighborhood drug dealer. The messaging service which allows users to send texts, sexts, photos, videos and group messages over Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE networks as an alternative to standard text messaging has provided quite a challenge for the Drug Enforcement Agency’s surveillance. An iMessage from one iPhone to another has proven to be nearly impossible to […]
As if James Franco wasn’t busy enough, working with Marina Abramović on a documentary, etc, etc, etc, he’ll be performing an art this Sunday at MoMa PS1. While still reeling over the widespread success of Spring Breakers, the performance is said to be based off of Chekov’s The Seagull, featuring a combination of theater, dance, video, live and prerecorded music, […]
Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. To mark this week’s release of Wolf, Tyler, the Creator’s third album, we’re reaching back to the rapper’s debut.

That’s the question this nifty interactive site tries to answer, placing a 100px Earth into space, then showing exactly how far it is to the moon and Mars, all within the confines of your browser. Even if you aren’t a space buff and/or design/development nerd, it’s worth a watch just for all the pretty scrolling. […]
Getting a bike lane across the Verrazano Bridge is just as likely as it was last October, when activists publicly advocated for its construction–that is to say, it almost certainly isn’t going to happen. But that isn’t stopping cycling diehards from continuing to push, as evidenced by a nearly 1,000-signature petition to Andrew Cuomo that has […]
