This is so absolutely true. They just don’t get it. I’d GLADLY pay for premium content but instead the only option I have is piracy.

Music to work by
I constantly listen to music during my work day, but I’m constantly struggling to find the right balance between loud, soft, fast, slow, distracting, not-distracting, etc. Inspired by today’s rainy day in San Francisco I’ve put together a Chillwave station on Pandora. You can listen to it here. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
Chillwave is defined as:

How is this at all fair?
Under SOPA, you could get 5 years for uploading a Michael Jackson song. One year more than the doctor who killed him.— Alan Cooper (@MrAlanCooper) January 19, 2012
This is why all the legislation, rules and lawsuits around media “theft” is absolutely insane. All of the sudden uploading one song, one video or worse, linking to any of this content might be worse than other capital...

#BlackoutSOPA
I’m joining Wikipedia, Google, Wordpress and many others today in #BlackoutSOPA to protest the ill-intentioned SOPA and PIPA bills currently being pushed through our government.
I’d encourage you to the #BlackoutSOPA movement. My friends at Torbit have created a simple install Javascript widget to protest SOPA. You can check it out here.

The basics:
On January 1st, the payroll tax cut will expire. Lengthened unemployment benefits will end.
The Senate wanted to propose a compromise that would have extended those benefits a bit longer. The measure worked. The vote was 89-10 in a landslide win to extend them. This included 39 Republicans. Uncanny! A bi-partisan legislation that actually...

A Speculative List of Jay-Z's 99 Problems
Photo by NRK P3
This post is pure gold.
Sometimes ‘forced’ by Beyonce to “Facetime” via iPad with in-laws; finds this excruciating; almost impossible to maintain any semblance of enthusiasm while doing so.
On Steve Jobs’ bad side when he passed away.
Worries about posture coupled with angst/ disdain for the fact that good posture is difficult to maintain.
Current income seems...

Santa Claus isn't a myth.

Santa Claus is very real.
The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and worn-out boots. With him were three small children.
He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn’t be able to afford it all before Christmas. Then a mysterious woman stepped up to the counter.

Typography meets Topography
Fab.com is running a sale today on some of the coolest maps I’ve seen. They’re maps of popular US cities with all the lines and colors replaced with the names of the roads, lakes, parks, etc. It’s typography meets topography: two of my absolute favorite things combined into one brilliant work of art.
These are by Axis Maps
