Professional Video Editors Weigh in on Final Cut... →
David Pogue gets in the middle of the hysteria over Final Cut Pro X with a point-by-point response to criticism from professionals. His summation is dead on. Apple has followed the typical Apple sequence: (1) throw out something that’s popular and comfortable but increasingly ancient, (2) replace it with something that’s slick and modern and forward-looking and incomplete, (3) spend another year...

supersonicelectronic: Artist Alex Pardee teamed together with Zerofriends to create this epically hilarious video, Tupac Cat: “Moments before Tupac Shakur’s death, he called upon an ancient Voodoo spell to transfer his soul into a cat. For 15 years following his death, this cat was trapped in the pound. Now he has finally been released and is back in the hood.”

If Boards of Canada, My Bloody Valentine, and the Jesus and Mary Chain formed a supergroup, it would probably sound like this band. Great stuff.

Glossy 'Jihad Cosmo' Combines Beauty Tips with... →
The slick, 31-page Al-Shamikha magazine - meaning The Majestic Woman - has advice for singletons on ‘marrying a mujahideen’.

After years of searching, I finally found the chai tea that Borders used to sell before they switched to Seattle’s Best. Apparently, other people missed it as well. It’s made by a company called Big Train and it’s distributed under two different names. Big Train Vanilla Chai Tea : Amazon Mystic Chai Vanilla Tea : Amazon : Sam’s Club

I love this Safari extension This extension removes the need to use flash on YouTube by converting all videos to their HTML5 video tag equivalents. It also has the added benefits of decreased CPU usage compared to flash, and the removal of in-video ads. Another step towards a Flash-free existence
