Put This On: a web series about dressing like a grown-up

Put This On, Episode 1: Denim from Put This On on Vimeo.

Jesse Thorn of Put This On, an online style guide for people who want to dress a bit more sophisticated, just posted their first video (hopefully of many more) showcasing fine clothing designers and tips on how to dress well. Their first episode (embedded above) talks about jeans and the unique character they develop as you wear them more and more.

Jesse visited California’s Rising Sun & Co. to talk to its owner about what makes a good pair of jeans and how you should take care of it once you’ve found the perfect pair.

All in all, a wonderful video that I hope will come out more regularly. Watch it!

Like Daeho said, I really have to try this before I die. It looks totally gross but at the same time I find it oddly appetizing as well.

On a related note, I ate a live clam this past Saturday at a buffet (don’t confuse it with a raw oyster, which is already dead). It wasn’t exactly tasty, but it had a good spike to it.

Raw videos released from Canon 5D Mark II

Vincent Laforet has released the raw video files that he used to make his short film Reverie. He released them to quiet the skeptics who didn’t believe that his film was made on the Canon 5D Mark II.

You can download the three raw video files at this Canon website. This is beyond awesome. I don’t even know how to describe the quality of the HD video from this camera.
