Tech Buzz Remember Mr. Zuckerberg, nothing gold can stay.
Culture Buzz Man these graphics are really uneven. Photographer Lee Vidal transfers the essence of 8-bit backgrounds into the real world.
Style Buzz Elegant dresses and sparkly fascinators take the forefront. We've recycled the 70s, 80s and 90s. Can we borrow this trend from South Korea and get our glamour on? (via dustyburrito.blogspot.com)
Culture Buzz Wouldn't it make more sense for the Millenium Falcon to be chasing TIE Fighters? Oh who, am I kidding? I can't stay mad at these awesome MJ Cowen designs! (via fashionablygeek.com)

Culture Buzz This goes pretty much exactly like you'd imagine. But somehow, it's still funny. Internet magic.
Tech Buzz Oh my God, the Sony walkman is on sale for only $59.99!? Mo-oom, get in the car. I need to spend my allowance!
Culture Buzz Chances are if you have an internet connection you've probably used it to commit some kind of copyright infringement. And chances are also pretty good your first download was probably pretty embarrassing. So own up, what was the first thing you ever illegally downloaded? Bonus points for who used the oldest p2p network.
Culture Buzz What started out as a simple google image search resulted in this giant collection of Valentines from the past. Send them to your friends!
Tech Buzz So everyone knows the internet regurgitates cultural garbage over and over again until it becomes gibberish. And it’s been doing that for a really long time. So dig through your Livejournals and YTMND accounts and let us know what the oldest meme you can remember is.

Culture Buzz A clever drunkard named Christina said she had to give her old beer pong table a paint job. This is the sweet result.
TV Buzz Kanye West lyrics meet “Saved By The Bell” stills. It's eery how well they work together - like “the Wizard Of Oz” and “Dark Side Of The Moon.”

On Tuesday, May 22, 1984, fan boys gathered outside Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood for the opening night of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” The L.A. Times dubbed them “virtual Indiana clones,” since the word “cosplay” wasn't part of the Hollywood lexicon.
Way too cool for mass production. (via justacarguy.blogspot.com)
As one YouTuber commented: “This is back when toxic fumes from melting plastic was safe.” Um, I’m not so sure about that.
Culture Buzz The bibliophiles at Awful Library Books blew the dust off some Reagan Era romance titles in case any eager beavers needed to bulk up their summer reading lists. Thanks but I've already read Oh, Rick!, like, three times. (via.)
Science Buzz Well there's the problem. They went bankrupt trying to defend stealing their catchphrase from “The Hobbit”. Like these sweet future past prints by Andy Rohr? You can buy them here.
Movie Buzz I'll probably never be able to erase the cover art of these video rental store staples from my memory. I'm talking about you, The Company of Wolves
