Ever see M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable? I think this kid might be a young David Dunn. It’s no train crash, but falling 90 feet without breaking a bone? Damn.
Watch“Windowlicker” is one of my favorite Aphex Twin tracks. Somehow I had never seen this video before. Honestly, it kind of scared the shit out of me. Chris Cunningham is amazing. (via Pitchfork.tv)
And another reason...
Maybe I’m drinking the Second City Cop Koolaid, but this story got me riled up. Particularly the first two paragraphs:
An 18-year-old man on probation for a weapons conviction was shot and killed by a Chicago police tactical officer Tuesday afternoon on the city’s Northwest Side after police say he confronted officers with a loaded pistol. Some witnesses and family members told a...

CNN's Latest Dance with Mary Jane
CNN is after marijuana again. It was a little more than a month ago when they ran a story citing a White House press release and the reporter connected marijuana to suicide.
This time they cite the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, which says that between 1992 and 2006 marijuana saw a 175-percent increase in potency, 492-percent increase in abuse and 136-percent increase in ER...

I stand corrected.
Another reason to seek out multiple news sources
Today’s Chicago Tribune has a pretty great Father’s Day profile of Casey Deegan, a 32-year-old man with Down syndrome — who skydives.
The written story is great, and I’m sure a bunch of people who watch the video package liked it as well. But I have already heard Casey’s story before, and the video that tells it is much more compelling than the Tribune’s...

I guess I'll never understand...
I often wake up on the weekends to see people bragging via Facebook status updates about how hung over they are and how many hundreds of dollars they spent at the bar the night before.
I love discovering new craft beers or a great bottle of wine, and I don’t mind the buzz that comes along with the great taste.
But bragging about being so hung over you can barely move because you spent $300...
WatchThis makes me wish I still shot video.
For this to be a same-day-edit in all the frantic action of a wedding day and be this kind of quality is beyond me. This dude has some skills.

An Open Letter to Tiger Woods
“I don’t think anyone really watches hockey anymore.” - Tiger Woods
Obviously you’ve never heard of Detroit, where the Redwings recently got better television ratings than the Pistons.
A lot of hockey players spend their off-season out on the golf course. The motion of a golf stroke and a slap shot aren’t all that dissimilar. And most NHL teams have charity golf...
