Girls: Discussion of the Totem of Chat
I was just watching episode 1 of Girls the other day where they discussed the different levels of communication in the totem of chat, whilst walking down the lower west side. It went a little something like this.
Loving this app at the moment. A mustmustmust for productivity junkies.
And in case you’re not familiar with the pomodoro technique:
Ok, ttyl, busy conquering my wunderlist.
Watch NYT’s video on the state of today’s graduates after the jump. Nothing new, but certainly something to think about. As I see it, this “failure to launch” syndrome exists even in Asian societies where issues concerning debt and financial independence aren’t as pronounced.
What exactly is education prepping kids for then?

Avocado. It’s good fat for the body. With a little bit of sea salt or sugar, it is a tasty treat for a nagging hangover. Trust me on this, next time you’re about to puke in a well, have an avocado! And think about Miscellaneous Shit Bits while you’re at it. But not literally, I suspect that might be even more nauseating.
There are 2 teams in the 20 something landscape. Team; “YES! I BUY IT!” and team; “FUCKOFFDON’TCONTROLMYLIFE”. This is a post-relationship post, mthrfckrs. AKA serious life is srs, srsly.
Today I will be doing a banal post about things I want but can not have. From lawn furniture to accessories, I’ve been struggling to decide what to buy and in the end purchasing nothing. Since our last few posts have been on the serious side; Election posts, Geohot’s Trial, etc. It’s time for some girly frivolity.
And let me be selfish as to use this time to weigh the options of my future purchases and let the bimbo shitbit out of the bag.

This May’s featured Shit Beat is Deadmau5. Not exactly a fresh pick, but I figured with their recent gig in Singapore, their ability to soundtrack disgusting food porn and their latest feature in Esquire’s 50 Songs Every Man Should Be Listening To, it would be okay. Click here to check out the other 49 songs Esquire chose.
50 seconds into Esquire’s Feature Video you’ll catch Glee’s Heather Morris dancing to Deadmau5′s Sofi Needs a Ladder. Not a big fan of Glee but I am a fan of Heather Morris.

To those living in my home of Sunny Singapore, you’d be aware of the recent elections. For two days, nobody tweeted about anything else. And if you happened to randomly tweet about sunbathing in your own balcony, your tweet would get lost at sea, a sea of political rants, thoughts and statements.
I think the most significant thing this election is that everyone finally saw each other. Not for the apathetic folk that we presumed each other(and ourselves) to be. But for an actual nation of people. People who argue, people who debate, people who actually give a shit. A few months ago, everyone thought Singapore was like the Singapore some dumb American thinks it is. But we know better now.
The Duke Spirit’s latest offering, Kusama, takes April’s Shit Beat space this month. With Don’t Wait on repeat, and that still frame of Dan and Blair plastered in my head, it’s the only thing I’ve been tuned into this month. Asides from Britney’s Femme Fatale when I jog hysterically.

Some time back, I was on a mission to find this one Sony toy I had as a child. Needless to say, Sony means glorious feelings of childhood geekery to me.
But as Sony’s GeoHot / Fail0verflow fiasco unfolds, I can’t help feeling betrayed… Turns out Ol’ Uncle Sony is not only senile, he’s simply quite a dick.
Trying to master the art of making enemies and alienating friends? Uncle Sony shows us how with exceptional finesse! Let’s observe as GeoHot fends his harasser off with a sling.
Update: GeoHot continues to sink Battleship Sony from South America (23 Mar)>>
Contemporary filmmaking in 2010/2011 has a totally different connotation that contemporary filmmaking in… 2006/2007. We are indeed in the age of a rapid digital revolution. Scratch that, we’re in the age of a digital fuckolution. Things are hay wire. Equipment meant for photography has been taken, adapted and morphed into a transformathon that looks something like fig 1.
Fig 1. DSLR Rig
But everyone knows what a 5d rig roughly looks like. More interestingly, is the contemporary take on scenes of tension in the lets call this, the age of fuckolution. Beyond the surface of what DSLR video has brought, beyond the abilities of crazy low-light, slow motion and new nifty lenses, beyond the boring technicals that geek tech websites is the new look that these capabilities have brought. Things that when I watch, I go, YEP, that’s 2000 and now.
And since I’ve been really into lists recently, alas a list! And how certain films have applied these trends to creating an undoubtedly look of the now.
