WatchFLOX THE WORDS (by Frédéric Sofiyana)
Fantastic video.
I'm great at pretending.
A recurring theme I find myself stuck on is the idea of pretending. Specifically, the idea that I’m really just pretending to be nearly all of the things I’d like to be. I guess you could say that we’re all really pretending in hopes that we match up to a definition of some kind.
Really, I’m not a designer, I just pretend to be one. I try to make smart design...

From a Reddit thread asking for “things the public doesn’t know about your job”:
One last thing…the myth of the $500 hammer (or wrench), which I learned in a logistics class. During the cold war there was a need for a milspec tool for use on nuclear subs. This thing had to be exact in its measurements, not retain radiation, survive extreme temperature changes, and perform...
ProPublica Photographer: I Was Followed by BP... →

To summarize:
A photographer took these photos of a BP oil refinery while standing on the grass median of a public road. (With very few exceptions, it’s perfectly legal to take pictures of anything visible from a public place, even if the subject is privately owned.)
BP’s security noticed, called the city police, and followed him by car to a gas station.
The police forcefully...

And this, ladies and gents, is why Ken Rockwell is a tool. No self-respecting photographer would ever listen to ANY advice he has. He’s a...

The original iPhone was great on day one. It couldn’t do as much as today’s iPhone, but it performed its feature-set extremely well. There were almost no rough edges or unpolished areas in its hardware or software, and nearly everything seemed justifiable, well conceived, and well executed.

PSA: Ticks and Lyme disease
It’s warmed up so now people are spending oodles more time outside than they normally would, I figured I would throw down some mythbusting on ticks and lyme disease, because there are a ton out there (ticks, and myths) and as someone who has had Lyme from a tick, I happened to know a lot on the topic.

Guys, I’m fucking sick of this. I’m almost 20 and haven’t been able to score a better job than a fucking cook at a local fast food joint. What makes it worse is that I live in a small town so business is pretty limited, and where I work is the only place that’ll hire high school graduates. I’d get the hell out of this town if I could...
