PLAYBOY: The sweet, upbeat indie romance (500) Days of Summer was a hit and turned you into a heartthrob.

GORDON-LEVITT: The (500) Days of Summer attitude of “He wants you so bad” seems attractive to some women and men, especially younger ones, but I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she’ll give his life meaning because he doesn’t care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That’s not healthy. That’s falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person.

Away From the Screen

(an excerpt from the steepandcheap.com Daily Dose)"...With so much time spent in front of a screen, there is strange sense of novelty and pleasure and pride that comes with doing things in the real world. Even mundane tasks like raking leaves or weeding the garden seem pleasant. Our pre-digital ancestors would find this to be insane. And if raking leaves can be pleasurable in the context, just imagine the experience of skiing powder or exploring desert canyons. In the modern world, I think that’s the great virtue of doing things outside. We get to be reminded of how good, and how human, it feels to do things in the real world."

I'm as guilty as anyone of excess screen time...Go outside!

edwardspoonhands Why are these blueberries bobbing like this? Is the difference in density so slight that the bubbles from the carbonation are able to lift the berries up? This is Blueberry Wheat beer from the Vierling Brewery in Marquette, Mi. The berries appear to have been frozen but were thawed when I took this video. I'm thinking they probably thaw from sittings out behind the bar.

Diane Ravitch on The Daily Show.

Ravitch is the queen. If only the government would listen…

We would also address poverty directly. We would increase the minimum wage and make post-secondary education cheap or free, and we’d improve improve unemployment benefits and offer free job-training to the unemployed.

Poverty is one of the few social ills where throwing money at the problem really does seem to work.

These are not radical, liberal ideas. In fact, in Europe most of them are associated with the more conservative parties, and many of them were associated with the American Republican party in the 80s. But the United States’s political climate is so different from anywhere else in the industrialized world that I fear we will just continue to get farther behind in education (and in % of people living in poverty) until we decide to make some big domestic investments.

This product has raised over $400,000 on IndieGoGo with a product that is completely technically impossible and will likely remain that way for at least a decade. The things they say the product can do, it cannot do. Portable spectrometers hit the marketing only a few years ago and cost about $250,000 - they are pre-selling these made up things on IGG for $250.

Even those $250,000 scanners can’t do what they claim this product can do. I’ve never seen a more deceptive crowd funding campaign in my life and it’s kinda pissin’ me off.

If you see this posted on facebook or elsewhere, please tell your people that it’s a scam and they should get their money back asap.

If anyone sees this, it's a scam.
