Hip website…Styleblaster.net

Just read on BetaBeat.com about a website called Styleblaster.net

It was made by Jules Laplace, the technology director for OkFocus. What it is…is a site that takes real-time pictures of people (hipsters) walking the streets of Brooklyn, New York. The camera is set-up in his apartment and takes a photo whenever someone passes by his window and instantly posts it to the site. Viewers of the site can click on a top-hat icon to vote whether the person is ‘styleblasting’ or not. His goal with the website is…“It’s an egalitarian take on streetstyle,” he said. “There’s more to Williamsburg than hipsters and rich ex-Manhattanites. Everybody has their own style, and our site celebrates that.”

The camera is located a block from the Bedford Ave. L train. It seems some people are already aware of the camera because they are hiding their faces or ‘flipping the bird’.

It’s very addictive to watch.

Binders Full of Women? How about a Photo Album of Naked Chicks?

I don’t know about you…but my Twitter account about exploded yesterday during the Presidential debates when Romney mentioned his “Binders Full Of Women”.

It has gone totally viral. Even more so than when he said he wants to fire Big Bird of Sesame Street.

The Tumblr site Binders Full Of Women has some very funny items. Definitely check that out…how fast did that site come up?

What the ‘binders’ reminded me of was a skit from The Beavis and Butt-head Experience CD when Beavis and Butt-head went on the band Anthrax‘s tour bus and got to look through their ‘Photo Album of Naked Chicks’.

They pose as letters of the alphabet…you should see letters ‘O’ and ‘U’.

Classic…

Hip free eBook…Kiss The Sky by DC Gallin

I wanted to thank author Denise Gallin for the copy of the book Kiss The Sky published by Telemachus Press. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but I just wanted to let everyone know that it is being given away this week at Amazon.com for FREE. This is a limited time offer, so go download it.

Please click on ‘Comments’ and let me know what you think of the book. I can’t wait to read it!

Here’s a brief synopsis:

London in the heady 90’s is waking up to the tribal pulse of repetitive beats, but the police violently attempt to clamp down on the freedom and unity emanating from the speaker stacks. Following the artist’s path in these tumultuous times, Claudia and her friends move into a freezing cold warehouse in the East End while surviving on canned sardines and apples. How can they escape the matrix and remain true to their quest?
