Bacon of the Month Club

via Grateful Palate and Sperry [told me about it over e-mail today, but check out his blog if u like tacos and/or ramen]

I don't know about you but I LOVE me some bacon and am seriously considering joining. A different artisan bacon for each month? Does it get better than that? Could it possibly get better? Check the link for the deets.

The Walk

via ESPN TrueHoop

U gotta admit...the traveling has gotten a bit out of control in the NBA. For example, LeBron getting upset about his "crab dribble" being called a travel a little while back? Let's be honest, if u're naming a type of dribble...u've got to be traveling.

But the article does a good job of breaking it all down...and revealing how NBA refs actually call the rule. No surprise, it's not in precise alignment with the actual terms of the rule.

One opinion on the "crab dribble"

Stenciled Graffiti

via Banksy

Banksy is a graffiti artist from the UK. His true identity isn't really known (at least not by most), altho rumors run rampant. His stenciling [which not a great many do when it comes to graf] often incorporates satire based on something already present. Often times hilarious, other times just witty...he's caused his fair share of trouble, including hanging works of his own art in museums around the world, including the Louvre and MoMA in NYC. Definitely check his website out (a couple of clicks will get u to some of his art) and you can find more info on wikipedia.

also, looks like he's been up to his same old tricks recently...per hypebeast.

Licensing the future

via ars technica

an interesting article about the discussion of the future of music licensing. it's clear that the digital era has wreaked havoc upon the traditional model of the music industry. but where do we go from here? what's next? is the recording industry irrelevant? i could go on (and have written about the subject before)...feel free to deposit any thoughts here and be sure to take in the article.

Originally released in 1969 and made famous by Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans, the TAG Heuer Monaco is being re-released in its old school glory. A unique watch due to its square face and chronos, a classic deserving of a reissue.
