Mr. Jone's Watch Project.
It makes other watches seem so boring.
For instance, the Tilt watch:
[...] enables the wearer to check the time without looking at their watch or displaying it to others. It is a watch equivalent of Braille – a watch which can be read unsighted. It consists of two opposing faces on the front and back of the wrist. The wearer rotates their arm and as the watch passes through the corresponding angle of the hours and minutes, a pulse is transmitted onto the wrist allowing the wearer to ‘feel’ the time. This discreet action allows one to check the time without appearing either bored or impatient.

Update - 11/29:This track seems to have been pulled from the interweb. Since Beck has a (broken) link to it on his site, one can only assume The Gloved One or Sony is not pleased.

Almost reminds you why people liked Michael Jackson. Shame he didn't hang around with people like Beck more...

Now Kit-Kat has gone the extra mile by inviting top Japanese patissier Yasumato Takagi to create special flavors of Kit-Kat for more adult tastes. And what wonderful tastes they are, created by the man who is considered the king of desserts in Japan, taking the kit-kat to another level. This flavor is wine flavor, made with a cream blending real French wine and chocolate, with a pink color and a distinct wine aftertaste.

Black Friday.
As explained by Drew from toothpastefordinner.com:
"black friday". that is the term for this friday. if you're reading this from outside the united states, thursday (tomorrow, nov. 24) is a holiday called thanksgiving. i'm sure you've heard about it, but it's a thing we celebrate every year. its roots are in the traditional autumnal harvest festival, coupled with a tale about how when europeans came to america, the indians welcomed them and taught them how to grow corn.
then, shortly after the indians taught the europeans how to grow corn, the europeans promptly gave them disease, set up camp from one side of the continent to the other, and started churning out bumper stickers. the bumper stickers come in two varieties: "extreme viewpoint" and "infuriating cliche".
"black friday" is the day after thanksgiving, because i guess, uh,
well. i don't know why everyone goes out shopping that day. but they do. so. black friday.

The man who wouldn't die.
[Marino] gave Malloy unlimited credit, thinking it would soon put an end to him. It didn't; Malloy was in danger of drinking the bar into bankruptcy. Antifreeze, a deadly poison, was substituted for liquor, but still Malloy would drink until he passed out, wake up, and come back for more. Antifreeze was substituted with turpentine, followed by horse liniment, and finally mixed in rat poison. Still Malloy flourished. The gang began to get creative, thinking raw oysters soaked in wood alcohol would do the trick (this idea apparently came from Pasqua, who saw a man die after eating oysters with whiskey, which was probably an anomaly). Then came a sandwich of soiled sardines, carpet tacks, and metal shavings (none of which would likely lead to death in any case).

[Angelina Jolie] could barely suppress a delighted cackle as she greedily thumbed through the pristine pages of her new passport, for she knew that her 20,000 square foot gingerbread palace on the edge of a village just outside Phnom Penh was nearing completion, and soon (so soon), the children would come. All of them. Within a year, her pint-sized rebel army, simultaneously adorable and terrifying in their matching mohawks, would be properly trained, and after a short march to the capital, all of Cambodia would be hers.

Though I don't consider myself an atheist, this is interesting.
You are one of life’s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on Earth. Probably what first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy.
You can’t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn’t lay down your life for a concept though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful, irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way.
Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You’d probably open another bottle and say there’s no contest.

Single-minded insanity.
Tim Kehoe has stained the whites of his eyes deep blue. He's also stained his face, his car, several bathtubs and a few dozen children. He's had to evacuate his family because he filled the house with noxious fumes. He's ruined every kitchen he's ever had. Kehoe, a 35-year-old toy inventor from St. Paul, Minnesota, has done all this in an effort to make real an idea he had more than 10 years ago, one he's been told repeatedly cannot be realized: a colored bubble.

Today in history:
It was on this day in 1940 that 75,000 men were called to Armed Forces duty under the first peacetime conscription in American history.
[...] Franklin Roosevelt's decision to impose a draft in the summer of 1940 was especially controversial because the country wasn't even at war. But Americans had all seen newspaper and newsreel coverage of the German Army rolling over Poland in a few weeks, and doing the same in France in a few months. By June of that year, Germans controlled most of the European continent, and the United States had a poorly trained standing army of only about 200,000 soldiers.
So even though he worried it might hurt his chances of reelection that November, Franklin Roosevelt signed into law the first peacetime draft in American history. That October, 16 million young men appeared at precinct election boards across the country to register with the Selective Service. The first lottery was held in Washington, D.C., and it was designed to be as patriotic a ceremony as possible. Secretary of War Henry Stimson was blindfolded with cloth taken from a chair that had been used at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the ladle he used to scoop out numbers had been made from the wood of one of the rafters of Independence Hall.

Interesting tidbit: Book means cool.
...It comes from text messaging culture. When you type with predictive text on your mobile phone the word ‘cool’ the word ‘book’ first appears. Users should then flick through the list of possible words to get to ‘cool’. British youth appears to be avoiding the additional keystrokes and using the word ‘book’ instead.
