Basically just a boatload of interesting stuff.

Quoted: Tversky and Kahneman conducted the following experiment
When contemplating the purchase of a $25 pen, the majority of subjects would drive to another store 15 minutes away to save $7
When contemplating the purchase of a $455 suit, the majority of subjects would not drive to another store 15 minutes away to save $7
The amount saved and time involved are the same, but people make very different choices

Quoted: Johan Lorbeer pulls off this incredible illusion in levitation... It took me a few minutes to figure out (the drinking one gave it away), but damn, this is awesome. Mystery at it's best! Tons more pics via ahboon, and the answer to the trick towards the bottom if you want to spoil the mystery! Also, a Youtube video of him in action.

Quoted: "Imagine the power of AXE. The Axe Effect" (Clinton endorsing Obama) Hahaha, this parody AXE Ad cracked me up...for creative reasons. Both parties are great, but this really put it over the top in those cheesy but oh sooo hilarious AXE Ads. via Scribd (I have no clue who created it, but this is where I found it)

Quoted: Naomi Yotsumoto is a professional Japanese table tennis player that styles in a variety of colorful, whimsical, and self designed outfits during her matches. Disruption is good! She's received a great deal of media attention much like Kournikova, Venus Williams, or Andre Agassi! What a trend setter! Rock on! Who says ya can't be stylish in a kick-butt

Pretty cool video. There's so much more than can be done with accelerometers, but implement it too fast and the consumers won't be ready and won't like the device.

Awesome video on the how we make choices and the effects of them. I love this stuff - wouldn't want to study it, but I think companies that understand this do so much better. Maybe they're manipulating with our minds, but on the other hand, they're helping us.

Now if only the open-source people would work this out, instead of thinking they're the second coming and that years of psych research can be invalidated because they're special.

Giant 20 foot puppet roaming the streets! INCREDIBLE VIDEO and Pics!!!!

Quoted: I don't post on shoes too often, but when a big cookie monster like Nike known for making mountains of carbon fuming rubber glue shoes launches a 100% sustainable shoe in their eco-consciousness Nike Considered footwear line, I start to smile. I'd seen previous attempts in this line that didn't fair to well stylishly nor environmentally, but the these
