BOSTON DYNAMICS HAS A HISTORY OF WOWING THE INTERNET with (often disturbingly) lifelike robots, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Their newest video above is just a teaser, but every time Boston Dynamics posts a new video, (which they do rather infrequently, because they’re busy building robots, I assume), I inevitably go back through their video archives and always experience equal-parts amazement and amusement, It’s great entertainment. I encourage you to check...

PHOTO BY DEPTH OBSESSED, FLICKR I’M NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE PHOTO BY DEPTH OBSESSED, AND I DON’T CARE. It’s definitely a long exposure of a subway, but I have no idea where all those vibrant colors on the ceiling are coming from. This photo really stands out from the pack with an almost-abstract look, this is a beautiful perspective on something as mundane as a subway platform. A great composition, utilizing the symmetry of a massive man-made structure to give a...

A FRIEND RECENTLY LET ME KNOW ABOUT A NEW SERVICE that goes by the name MoviePass. Actually, it’s not a new service at all, but the pricing is, and that’s really what makes this of interest to a majority of people. If you go to the movies even once a month don’t mind seeing movies on 2D screens of non-IMAX variety, this is for you. I don’t even see movies on IMAX screens and 3D doesn’t work for me, so MoviePass is the perfect fit in my situation. Before...

PHOTO BY NAZZARENO B, FLICKR THIS PHOTO, BY NAZZARENO B, IS SOMETHING SPECIAL, so when I saw it, it immediately caught my eye. The deep contrast, ultra-sharp focus, and not-quite-black blacks give this photo a very intense, unusual beauty. The composition is excellent to the point where I doubt that, even if staged, it could be any better. For candid photography, this is extremely impressive. The light on the little girl is super soft, but the extreme contrast creates almost an optical...

MARK RECENTLY HAD HIS CREDIT CARD INFO STOLEN, and determined that it was very likely done by a credit card skimmer device at a gas pump. Thanks to a watchful credit card company, the fraudulent charges on Mark’s card were declined without further incident. When he told me about the fraud on his credit card, I let him know that I had recently come across a cool app called Skimmer Scanner that might prevent this kind of thing in the future. First, what’s a credit card...

I had my last pair of glasses for years. They were the kind with the half rims on top and the plastic string thing on the bottom. Once they got bent, there was no way to get them back to the way they were. They stayed bent and I couldn’t get the lens to sit correctly in the frame because the stupid string would pop out. Time for new glasses. It had been years since my last eye exam, however, so I wanted to make sure I had an up-to-date prescription before getting new glasses. I don’t have...

IMAGE FROM SONY.COM BLACK FRIDAY DEALS ARE STARTING TO ROLL IN ALREADY, and Sony just revealed their gaming deals, starting 11/19 and running through 11/27. I highly recommend the PS4 as a gaming console, even if you just want to game very casually. I only play sporadically, and very casually, but I did buy a PS4 on day one when it launched four years ago, and it’s still working great. Occasionally, I play PS4 games with my small children, which can be great fun, and from time to time...

PHOTO BY PJPINK, FLICKR WAY TOO PRETTY NOT TO SHARE, this appropriately-named watercolor-esque image you see above by pjpink is actually a photo, and a beautiful one at that. The colors and the soft (or out-of) focus image features a beautiful, soft color palette of blue, green and a touch of yellow. I haven’t seen a ton of soft-focus photography that I love, but this photo has shown me that in the right photographer’s hands, the effect can be downright stunning. Click here to...

I shop online constantly. For a few years, I even did it professionally for a company I own with my brother Joe. The profits for the business, and our rent, healthcare and groceries depended on me finding the best deal I could in a small amount of time. Extreme couponing does work, but it takes time and attention which I can’t spare. It’s too inconvenient. From a business perspective, speed and convenience are very important. So when buying products and supplies, I became very adept at saving...

PHOTO BY OLIMPIA, FLICKR I DON’T USUALLY LOVE PHOTOS OF STUFF LIKE OLD WINDMILLS, but photographer olimpia did such a great job composing and editing this photograph, that it reminded me of something important: Good photography doesn’t have to be about the subject itself, it can simply be about colors and shapes, pleasingly arranged. The red white and blue of the windmill really works with the beautiful white clouds and dark blue sky. Red and blue are always a solid...
