The annual Macy’s fireworks show took place last night and as much as we’d like for the department store chain to alternate the display between the Hudson River and East River — so Brooklyn doesn’t get jerked every year — holding the spectacle on Manhattan’s West Side certainly has its perks, especially when your offices […]

More than two million people showed up to watch and cheer on the 2013 Pride Parade that stretched for more than two miles through Manhattan. They left behind a little something. A lot of little somethings. As you can see, these NYPD barricades have been festooned with stickers from LGBT rights groups, support organizations and […]

This Is the End (2013) Mainstream comedy movie, funny. All the celebrities! Playing “themselves.” Seth Rogen & Jay Baruchel (who?) at James Franco’s house party; THE APOCALYPSE AND SHIT.

THE FRANCO OVERLOAD FACTOR: 2.5 out of 5 Much Franco! “Franco, […]
“Responsive Web Design” refers to the idea that a website should look as good on any one platform as it does on any other. See how, when you resize this window, the top image gets a little bigger and smaller with it? That’s responsive web design (RWD). It makes sense–you want your website to make […]
Half of ANIMAL’s staff lives in that part of Brooklyn where Williamsburg meets Bushwick. Sometimes, some of us walk under this art-like construction, perched precariously on an arch outside the Borinquen Plaza Houses.

To mark the upcoming release of his new album-cum-viral-marketing-stunt, Magna Carta Holy Grail, Jay-Z created some shiny, mostly contentless promotional books, then sent fans on a scavenger hunt to find them.
