This blog is the funniest site I've come across in quite awhile. Some personal favorites off the top of my head are Mos Def, Not Having a TV, Travel, Yoga, and Wes Anderson Movies. Thank you to Chrispy Rice for originally linking to it.
Thanks to the increasing ease with which people can take photos or videos on their mobile devices, uploading photos and videos has never been easier. Sites such as flickr and facebook are providing unique e-mail addresses to their users which will accept photos sent from phones and post them directly to the user's account.
About half an hour ago I signed up for an account at Dailymotion so that I could upload some videos I had taken and the unique e-mail address they assigned me was blim818329orgasm@dmotion.tv... WTF? The proof is in the screenshot above. I'm guessing they use some sort of dictionary and just randomly pick a word and append it to your username along with a couple numbers. I was just lucky enough to have the word "orgasm" assigned to me. NICE.
The blog "Ask a Korean" recently posted about Korean food in NYC and in his comments I came to the defense of a sullungtang restaurant in K-Town. He replied by claiming the place wasn't authentic and told him that his desire for authenticity were "irrational" and "misguided." After I said that, he never replied. Until today. Not only did he reply, he did a whole post about the topic. It's an interesting topic and I, for the most part, agree with him. I'm sure some of the people who read this will find it interesting as well. It's topic worth discussing considering the rampant fetishization of authenticity (whatever that really means) that occurs in the media.
