Nolita Beach

posted July 13, 2015 #

It's not often that I see a collection beach towel designs and feel compelled by them. However, this Nolita Beach collection features the likes of Mark Weaver, Dan Cassaro, Damien Correll, Julia Rothman and a ton more. They're all amazing actually, every single one. I would add ten additional beach towels to my home because I like them all so much. Oh, and a portion of the proceeds go to Arts in Parts in Rockaway Beach - so that's a double win for everyone.

DSP Earbuds

posted July 10, 2015 #

This piece on the new Doppler Labs Here earbuds is an interesting bit of forthcoming technology. At their core, they're noise canceling headphones but the additional "trick" with these is that they don't filter all noise, they boost and augment the sound around you. To put it more succinctly: "The earbuds capture the incoming sound waves, process the audio in real-time, and play it in your ear without any perceptible delay."

It's like a next wave hearing aid and plenty of people seem interested given the success of their Kickstarter campaign. I'll be keeping on eye on them as well.

Weekend LongReads

posted July 10, 2015 #

Last weekend was a raucous one, so settle down into some quiet time with some longer reads. Your brain will appreciate it.

Please note, these aren't fully vetted reads from me, just items I found interesting but haven't had a moment to fully indulge in. No complaints if they're crap!
  • The Cult of VICE - Columbia Journalism Review piece on VICE, Shane Smith and the media empire that grew from the magazine.
  • The Future of the Web Looks a Lot Like Bitcoin - I'm pretty fascinated by the BlockChain. I don't really fully understand it and, from what I can glean, it sounds like technology empowers the user, which is usually not so great for advertisers and others that need your personal info in order to capitalize on advertising at you. via Jed.
  • Are Hackers the New Bankers? - I do not know the answer to this question but I'm guessing it's no.
  • Form, Function, & Meaning: The Hillary Clinton Logo - I actually read this last night and didn't realize people felt so passionately about the logo that it needed such a long explanation but it is a great read. Highly recommend. via Aaron.
