Okay, maybe funny probably isn’t the right word, but you know what I mean. Also, just a heads up, the guy in this video is a little creepy. But all of that aside, I’d always wondered why old books smelled weird, but never really took the time to do any research. It’s one of those things that you mean to do later, but always forget. Well, this time I didn’t forget, and now I have yet another bit of knowledge to...

I love these multi-track a cappella songs floating around the internet, and this one might be the most impressive I’ve ever seen. Basically, this gentleman sings each instrumental part of the song, then layers them together digitally. Granted, I’ve only seen a couple of the Star Wars films, but everyone knows this song.

Pause. Think about that for a second and try to wrap your head around it. The film is a non-verbal documentary produced...

More precisely, I don’t feel like dirtying and then washing the dishes necessary for making a grilled cheese. Enter the Toastabag, reusable bags / sleeves designed by Dutch design company Bosta that allow you to make a grille cheese right inside your toaster. No mess. No clean-up. It’s the lazy...

First off, let me apologize for that atrocious post title. I couldn’t figure out how to appropriately explain the video, and I gave up trying to reword it. Second, let me say that this music video by MysteryGuitarMan is ridiculously impressive. Ridiculously impressive. He claims that this is take #238 – and I fully believe it. Basically, it is a music video for his acoustic cover of the song We Are Young, done as a video /...
