I guess I have to get a trampoline now and teach Duke. This is so awesome.
The Popinator
I love popcorn and I had to do some digging to make sure this is a real thing and I’m pretty sure it is. I WANT ONE!
iOS 6 Maps and Apple
This is a really interesting article by a cartographer on the challenges that Apple faces with their own maps app.
Apple does not have a core competency in mapping and has not yet assembled the sizable, capable team that they will eventually need if they are determined to produce their own mapping/navigation/local search application.
Gallagher smashes watermelon in slow motion with a FLAMING HAMMER
Sorry, I should’ve said …with Gallagher’s patented FLAMING Sledge-O-Matic in the title. But I don’t really care about Gallagher or his patents or what Gallagher looks like without a shirt—WHY?
I just love a giant, flaming hammer in slow motion. It is awesome and for that reason alone you should watch this video.
Deftones’ Leathers
I briefly listened to hardcore music when I was younger—when I wasn’t listening to sad bastard music and crying in my soup. I could never handle heavy metal or screamcore-stuff. But Deftones, TOOL/Perfect Circle and (early) Incubus always got my head banging. Even though I predominantly listen to rap these days, this still sounds pretty good to me. Their new album drops November 12.
Great Ball Contraption
Very cool.
