Brace yourself for an obvious statement. You do a lot of things on the Internet, like a lot. This includes things like selling on Etsy, renting on Airbnb and reviewing on Yelp to countless other interactions, every day.

The whir of a fan at night ... The rev of a starting engine ... Your sister's laugh ... The sound of your father's steps on the stairs

These make up the soundtrack to our lives, as much, if not more so, than our favorite songs. They orient us to...

Who doesn't remember their first road trip? The windows down and the perfectly blue sky overhead, the feeling of endless possibility that can only occur when the journey means more than the outcome, singing along to your favorite mix tape with your best friend in the co-pilot seat.

Here's how it went down.

The Location: a massive arena in Nashville.
The Attire: someone else's cowboy boots.
The Beverage: 24 oz Bud light lime.
The Line Up: All the best group acts in country that are still breathing, although I'm fairly confident Keith and Vince may...

The True Story Behind The Hunger Games

(31) Comments | Posted March 28, 2012 | 12:52 PM

The Hunger Games is already breaking box office records. It's the new heir to the young adult fiction throne. Katniss has completely kicked Bella's ass in the teen heroine department. To use an old Sheenism, Suzanne Collins probably has her feet up on a solid gold ottoman and is yelling...

Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation Needed: Watching the Oscars 2012

(9) Comments | Posted February 27, 2012 | 7:48 PM

Having trouble sleeping? Watch the 2012 Oscars. How does an industry that's completely geared towards pleasing the masses manage to create an awards show that's zero percent entertaining? We aren't sure, but somehow they did. Last night went to a record breaking boring place despite a heroic effort that included:

2012-02-17-photo23.JPG

Hi haters. That's right, we know fashion week has some serious haters. Sarah was one of them on Friday night. After an excess of poorly prepared vodka sodas and confrontational encounters with power tripping door folks, Sarah had THE Fashion Week meltdown. Luckily, she...

NYFW: Art Plus Analytics = Who the F Knows?

(3) Comments | Posted February 16, 2012 | 1:58 PM

Imagine a world where...

Picasso checked his Klout score daily
The Rolling Stones were signed because of their YouTube views
Hemingway got a book deal because people "liked" his short stories.

We don't know if the increasing overlap between art and web analytics is making culture better or...

Nostalgic for soggy fries, sloppy joes and riblets?  You're out of luck.  Missing social awkwardness, seating politics and confusing outfits, we got you! Just when Clark and Sarah thought the closest they would come to reliving the "high school experience" was watching an episode of Teen Mom, they found Fashion...

2012-01-28-photo9.JPG


Clark and Sarah thought they would find their Sundance inspiration in the movie seats, and sometimes we did. We also found a couple naps and some stale popcorn. What we didn't expect was to have a microcosm of the Sundance experience, night...

Look what we got you at Sundance! OK, not really.  We intended to bring you home one of everything we came across, but we couldn't afford the extra baggage fee when we tried to get on the airplane.  Instead, we are linking you to our favorite products/people/organizations from...

Pack It up, Pack It in: The Sundance Suitcase

(0) Comments | Posted January 19, 2012 | 4:28 PM

We've all shown up for a trip with a suitcase full of mismatched socks and bottles of marijuana before. OK, maybe it's not that extreme, but there is nothing worse than packing the wrong things. When it comes to Sundance, those possibilities of this happening are endless. How often do...
