DJ Big Jacks Seasoned Greetings →
Last weekend I passed by the lovely Aritzia in SF, and asked about the Christmas music they were playing while I was perusing around. Turns out they collaborate with a lot of DJs and make some of the sickest mixtapes, free and downloadable from their site and through SoundCloud! This one, by DJ Big Jacks, is probably the best Holiday mixtape I’ve come across. Download and ingest, now. ...

Chris Ziegler: Where does the 'basic human right'... →
chrisziegler: When Twitter made sweeping changes this week — changes that I find largely unhelpful, and in some cases, counterproductive — it really drove home for me that a service I consider to be a fundamental part of my day-to-day internet activity is a privately-offered venture, accountable to no one… Insightful post about the power and potential of the internet not just as a “basic...

Giggity. Alas, the 8-minute extended trailer for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is embeddable. After many initial attempts of reading this book in the past, I finally finished it in just a matter of a few days (grazie unemployment), and watched the Swedish film soon thereafter. The darkness of the story is really only justified through the novel itself, and much more than any film could ever...

Wanted: Olloclip, A 3-in-1 Lens For The iPhone →
“The iPhone takes 8-megapixel pictures. For anyone who snapped pictures with an early digital camera, that’s an astounding leap in quality. And yet, forgetting that just a few years ago smartphones didn’t even have a photo option, we want the iPhone camera to do everything short of talk to us. (Or maybe we do want it to talk to us—let’s ask Siri.). Fortunately, a pair of...

San Francisco to be first city in U.S. to set... →
loveyourchaos: engagedelectorate: Thanks to a 60% voter approval rate, SF passed  Proposition L in 2003. This provision requires that the city enforce an increase in the minimum wage every year that correlates with inflation.  That means, if you want to get down to dollars and cents, that this New Year’s Day,  SF’s hourly minimum wage will rise from $9.92 to $10.24 It should be required that...
