TOUGH
As quoted by Kanye:
"THIS IS MY LAST DAY IN PARIS AND IT'S BEEN CRAZY. I'VE MET SO MANY DOPE PEOPLE. I FEEL SO INSPIRED BY THE TRIP... I'VE BEEN THINKING OF RAPS, BEATS, CLOTHES, VIDEOS ,STAGE DESIGNS AND PHILOSOPHIES ... I ALWAYS FEEL MY BEST WORK IS MY NEXT WORK... I'VE MADE SOME GOOD CHOICES AND SOME MISTAKES... I'VE BEEN LOVED AND HATED.... I'VE BEEN HAILED AND RIDICULED... I'VE BEEN INVITED TO SHOWS AND AS USUAL ASKED NOT TO COME... I'VE BEEN ATTACKED FOR BEING ME... FOR BEING BRIGHT RED IN A GREY WORLD.... I AM NUCLEAR ENERGY... WHEN INCAPSULATED IN AN IDEA OR BOX LIKE A STAGE OR SHOE DESIGN I CREATE MAGIC... WHEN LEFT FREE SOMETIMES I BURN THINGS... IT'S THE NATURE OF A TRUE ARTIST... I AM NOT PERFECT AND I WILL NEVER BE WHAT I WAS TAUGHT MY WHOLE LIFE AND THAT WAS TO BE "CHRIST LIKE"... I'M FINE WITH JUST BEING THE BEST ME! I ACCEPT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY MISTAKES AND LEARN FROM THEM. I WILL NEVER ATTACK NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND THEIR ENERGY...I FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY DON'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES BUT MERELY BASE THEIR OPINIONS ON WHAT THEY WERE TAUGHT. LIFE IS A GAME! IF EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS DOING WHEN I WAS DOING IT THERE WOULD BE NO CHALLENGE THEREFORE NO GAME. IT IS THE CRACK IN THE WALL THAT ALLOWS LIGHT TO SHINE THROUGH... SOOO THANK YOU SENSATIONAL NEWS REPORTERS ... THANK YOU GOSSIP SITES... THANK YOU BARBER SHOPS... THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO THRIVES ON THE DOWNFALL OF OTHERS FOR I WILL NOT FALL!!! YOUR PESSIMISM IS MY POWER... YOUR PRESUMPTIONS LEAD TO MY REDEMPTIONS ... I DON'T LIKE THE OBVIOUS... I LIKE THE TENSION... I LIVE FOR THE FIGHT... I AM A SOLDIER OF FREE THOUGHT IN A CLOSED MINDED WORLD AND I AM READY FOR WAR... I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING SO I AM FEARLESS ... YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE UP AGAINST... I WILL SPARK A GENERATION OF THINKERS WHO WILL QUESTION TRADITIONAL THOUGHT UNTIL THEY FIND THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME SOMEONE TO PROVE WRONG AS I HAVE DONE FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE... YOU FEEL THE WORLD WILL NEVER CHANGE.. YOU FEEL MISERY IS THE ONLY COMPANY... AND I AM HERE TO PROVE YOU ALL WRONG... (I'LL GIVE THE SECRET TO MY DEMISE FOR ALL THAT WISH I WOULD JUST DROP DEAD.... ACCEPTANCE!!... IF YOU COULD FINISH MY SENTENCES THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO START THEM. ) THANK YOU PARIS ONCE AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME ACCESS TO THE GREATEST ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS THIS EARTH HAS TO OFFER... THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION BECAUSE GENIUS LOVES COMPANY"
Can't knock a guy for speaking his mind! This statement is just TOUGH!

SlyDial
The old song had it right: Breaking up is hard to do. But a free new phone service called Slydial might make it easier to get through that and other awkward moments — without actually having to talk to anyone.
Slydial lets you connect directly with another person's cell phone voice mail, bypassing the traditional ringing process that often results — sometimes disastrously — with someone picking up on the other end.
Users call (267) SLY-DIAL from either a cell phone or a landline, and are prompted to enter another person's cell phone number.
After playing a short advertisement — unless users pay a subscription fee or 15 cents per call to skip ads — Slydial puts callers directly into their target's voice mail.
Recipients should then get a voice mail notification, and sometimes they will see a caller's number show up as a missed call, too.
-Dial 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425) from any landline or mobile phone.
-At the voice prompt, enter the U.S. mobile phone number of the person you want to slydial.
-You will be directly connected to their voicemail. Leave them a voicemail, sit back and relax.

Japanese actor Koichi Yamadera’s version of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World“
I honestly don't really know what toake of this.
Driven to XS - Steve Wynn's New Playpen
Sometimes you just want to party like it's 2008.
So while a certain unfortunate (but appropriate) modesty has taken hold over most of the country's nightlife, it's good to know that Vegas can still absolutely blow the doors off a club.
Welcome to the unchecked, hedonistic excess of...XS, the just-opened new megaclub at Encore, Steve Wynn's new pleasure tower (situated right next to the Wynn Las Vegas).
If you were having the slightest twinge of "maybe we'll take it a little easy in Vegas this time," it's time to remind yourself why you're in the middle of the desert. Wynn brought in nightlife legend Victor Drai (of famed late-night spot Drai's) to create 40,000 square feet of free-flowing booze, heat-seeking dancers and opulent, plush everything.
You'll want to start inside (yes, there's an outside—more on that later)—maybe with a little champagne—and soak in the gold body casts, 12 stripper poles (why not) and disco chandelier that surround you. At some point, make sure to find an appropriate escort, head outside through the sliding two-story glass doors, and situate yourself under a palm tree at one of the two poolside outdoor bars.
If you're feeling lucky (a given at this point), there's even an outdoor gambling pit for a few throws of the dice.
You didn't get dressed up for nothing.

Home Away from Home - Hollywood's New Clubhouse
Sometimes going out just can't compete with a great party at home.
But if you could do both at once, that would really be impressive. Welcome to Hollywood's latest after-dark stunner—MyHouse cracked open its door last weekend.
The new spot from David Judaken and Tony Daly (Mood, Crimson, Opera) re-imagines your new favorite nightclub as...your new favorite Dodd Mitchell-designed house. Past the front yard, step into the foyer and plot your tour—maybe a drink first in the fully functioning kitchen to the right, then check out the dining room, living room and patio. The Jacuzzi will arrive soon, with towels and robes ready. (Really, it's okay if you get in.)
Upstairs in the bedroom, if you open the drawers flanking the bed, you might find...the same supplies you'd find in your own. But you always leave home prepared, so you'll probably settle for another Wasabi Bloody Murphy from the bedroom's bar (also just like home) and a seat by the rail, where the view's best of the foyer-turned-dance floor below.
For the next few weeks, it's private events only—except for Fridays, starting tonight, when the notorious coalition of promoters known as the Alliance will be tightly guarding the door. The first rule of being on the Alliance list is you don't talk about how you got on the Alliance list.
And you're familiar with the second rule...

Wheel of Fortune - Your Personal iPhone Planner
Spontaneity is said to be the spice of life.
But being impulsive usually requires a bit too much thought and effort.
Here to bring some zing back into your routine: Twiddler—a new iPhone app that acts like a mobile planner, advising you about what to do based on three components—your mood, location and how much time you have to spare.
We can envision endless scenarios where this Urbanspoon-like app will come in handy. Take your average Saturday: You're in Hayes Valley, in need of a drink and have a few hours to kill. Tap "thirsty," select how much time you've got (from one hour to all day—OK: all day), hit "walk," then spin the wheel. It'll search Yelp's platform in real time to come up with a suggestion (let's say Blue Bottle). If you don't like that option (say you want a stiffer drink), keep spinning the wheel until it piques your interest—maybe it'll be Hotel Biron, maybe Absinthe.
So far the app only covers San Francisco, but look for an update in a week or so with a national version and a few major cities like New York and DC (just in time for the inauguration).
Because you never know where you might end up.

AMOLED
Two AMOLED displays tiled together seamless enabled by thin film encapsulation. LCD cannot achieve it without help of optical illusion. Improved over demos at SID and FPDI last year. Still under development.
Justice Architects
Dope vid. Very cool idea (maybe because I'm a fan of architecture). Enjoy!
