Ricky Jay both amazes me and totally creeps me out. He’s a magic historian and an amazing illusionist. Some people are just too smart and cool for this world.

“

5 things NOT to say at an interfaith gathering:

5. “So does that make you kind of like a Jedi?”
4. “I thought you were supposed to cover your ankles?”
3. “So, do you follow any rules, or do you just freestyle it?”
2. “Let’s rank the religions! You in the turban, go first!”
1. “Excuse me, but I thought you weren’t allowed to eat that.”

KN | Kitsune Noir » Les Soirées de Poche featuring Beirut

The second song, “Nantes,” is now and forever will be on of my favorite songs. People singing along with bands in bars are awesome.

The Geekly Reader: Any Which Wall by Laurel Snyder | GeekDad | Wired.com:

Redacting Violence: The Photo-Manipulations of Josh Azzarella « Prison Photography

A powerful and challenging blog post about the power of photography. The manipulated photos are particularly amazing- when you suddenly realize what you’re seeing, in place of what you’re not seeing, there’s a strange emotional response.
