From Peril - Grad student now. Doctor soon... Dun dun dunnnn

Louis CK, who writes and produces his own comedy show, has made his Beacon Theater stand up show available for $5. No DRM, no bullshit. You buy it, it’s yours. Aside from being bloody hilarious, I’ll be supporting him because I want to see this model of artists selling their own work (sans media industry [...]

A great video from the people of the Tohoku area expressing their thanks to world’s relief workers who helped during Japan’s devastating 9.0 earthquake and tsunami.

The film, made in 1930 and released in 1940, sees Charlie Chaplin poking some fun at the fuhrer, playing both Hitler and a kindly Jewish barber mistaken for him.

It’s a simple iPhone App that takes pictures, provides some wonderful preset artsy filters, and automatically posts images to your [...]
