The best cat wand ever made
The best $10 you’ll ever spend.
I very rarely find the need to boast about an Amazon purchase but recently a friend of mine told me about this cheap retractable cat wand and it has made my cats crazy for play. I’ve tried all sorts of toys and gadgets for my cats and none of them seem to work as well as this $10 toy. Did I mention it comes in a 2-pack?!
Over 40,000 reviews seem to agree as well! This thing is a bargain for fun with your cats.

OK GO - LOVE
A must-see music video!
Wow. Just wow. On a technical level this music video for OK GO’s “LOVE” is just impressive. Most music videos or movies would be trying to hide the rigs used to obtain shots but this music video incorporates those rigs into the actual video. And as with most OK GO productions, timing plays a huge part in the making of this video.
Why Pantone colors are so expensive
A rage-inducing video about the design industry and the hold that Pantone has on colors.
I feel for the designers who are stuck in the Pantone world. It’s a necessary evil to ensure quality production, but it really sucks that Pantone has recently been quite hostile to the people who are responsible for their success.
Take a look at this massive Kentworth Super Hauler RV truck
A huge truck!
It’s a truck. It’s an RV. It’s a big rig. It’s a home. This massive 2024 100th Anniversary Kentworth is really the only kind of van-life I want to live in.
Fuji GFX 100 II as a Mini Alexa 65
Medium format stills camera rivals an Alexa Mini 65.
This is pretty spectacular actually that a “stills” hybrid camera like the GFX 100 II can actually deliver some incredible video specs on par with the Alexa Mini at a fraction of the price. Obviously, I know there are some use cases where the GFX won’t cut it, but by all accounts as budgets and crews get smaller, this is pretty phenomenal.
Honestly, it’s probably why the GFX Eterna exists.
Aputure STORM 1000C review
Every RGB light should be reviewed this way.
I feel like every RGB light should be reviewed this way — with a white T-shirt and a comparison to the sun. So many of these reviews regurgitate press release specs and focus on lumens or brightness (which is important, sure!) but forget about the quality of the light compared to the sun or HMIs.

Clearview AI technology knows your face!
A great interview between Kashmir Hill and Adam Conover about the dangers of facial recognition technology, specifically that of Clearview AI.
If you missed it, I wrote about the incredible book Kashmir wrote recently called Your Face Belongs To Us.
