Cats and Dogs (and Bears)

By Dave | Published: January 26, 2010

First up, we have a cat scaring off a bear. Granted, the bear still got the garbage bag, but this cat was ready to throw down and show who is boss. Next, we have dogs. What happens when dogs meet polar bears? Apparently, love. As much as I love dogs, I might have to reconsider [...]

Market Street in 1906

By Dave | Published: January 24, 2010

Footage from the front of a cable car, traveling down Market Street, circa 1906. Fantastic. I absolutely adore these old videos of San Francisco! Originally, this video was thought to have been recorded sometime in 1905. Recently, someone analyzed the weather, vehicles, and shadows from people / objects and concluded it was filmed four days [...]

Fighting dirty in Scrabble

By Dave | Published: January 18, 2010

Recently, I downloaded a game for the iPhone called “Words with Friends.” It’s very similar to Scrabble, with a different board and slightly different letter values (one would assume to avoid Scrabble’s IP lawyers). Many of my family and friends are playing the game and we’re all having fun trying to best each other’s scores. [...]

Beats Antique at the Independent

By Dave | Published: January 3, 2010

I love this sort of ambient music as it makes perfect background music for working and such! They also feature belly dancers during their live performances, [...]

Nike soccer commercial

By Dave | Published: December 23, 2009

Just saw this brilliant advertisement again. I first noticed it last year, during the Euro Cup. It’s a commercial by Nike, following the career of an unknown teenage soccer player through their eyes. In two minutes, the commercial goes from playing in a youth league, to playing for Arsenal, to playing for Holland in the [...]

Funny shorts in Barcelona

By Dave | Published: December 18, 2009

While traveling through Europe last year, we stopped for a few days in Barcelona to check out the capital city of Catalonia. The hostel we were staying in gave us a flyer of interesting things to do over the next few days. One particular entry caught our eye. “¡Una nit de curts còmic!” It’s written [...]
