Can Aquaponics Help With The California Drought?
California has a major water shortage problem according to NASA satellite data. If you like to eat food, you have a major water shortage problem too, according to Mother Jones magazine.
Ten Jimi Hendrix Songs You've Probably Never Heard
Here are seven of my favorite Hendrix songs which didn't make it onto well known compilations and three awesome rarities I found this week. Happy 72nd birthday, Jimi (London time).
Peter Hollens Won't Give Up
He's an amazingly talented a capella singer, so there's no reason why he should even consider giving up until well after he's become a household name. But, don't take my word for it, check out his Youtube channel if you don't believe me.
If Spock Had A Farm - Spockwaponics
Captain, I must confess I find it highly illogical yet at the same time fascinating that the majority of humanity had failed to encounter your English term aquaponics until the year 2012 AD. The popular news magazine Time had named Will Allen one of its top 100 people 2 years prior to that time, yet made no mention of the technique he was using to grow 1 million pounds of food a year on three acres of land.
Music Made America Strong - Rick Perry Parody
Peter Hollens pledges to end Clear Channel's war on good music and to "fight against commercial promotion of auto-tuned robotic voices". I approve of this message.
Walking Down Empire Avenue
My friend Alan from the social media stock market Empire Avenue has recently published an eBook introduction to the game. He kindly agreed to write up an introduction to Empire Avenue for Buzzfeed readers which I've published below (modified slightly and with pictures).
Steampunk Octopus Sighting At Burning Man
Granted, it wasn't "leagues under the sea", but we're fairly sure Captain Nemo would have taken an interest in this particular octopus nonetheless. Click here to see what else you missed at this year's Burning Man Festival.
World Record Water Balloon Fight
The Christian Student Fellowship recently exploded the world record for the largest water balloon fight (for the third time) with nearly 9,000 participants tossing over 175,000 water balloons on the University of Kentucky's Johnson Center Field.
Snake Bite
While some people ride snakes, others try to smuggle them onto airplanes, and still others apparently bite them (at least when drunk). I've heard snake meat tastes like chicken, but raw?! "The suspect, David Senk, 54, was arrested on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile, Sacramento police said. The badly injured snake underwent surgery."
Moon Hits Eye Like Big Pizza Pie? That's Domino's
Yes, Domino's Pizza plans to build the first pizza restaurant on the moon (and they'll deliver). Noids in spaaaace! Just contemplate how much could go wrong in this scenario for a second or two... but, boy that dough will sure have hang time! The estimated cost for the project - $21 billion; it'll be the least profitable restaurant in the franchise for centuries (unless they plan to charge customers the moon, of course).
Invisible Airbag Bike Helmet Wins Design Award
The Hovding "invisible" bicycle helmet (it's actually an airbag helmet which deploys based on accelerometer readings) has won the Index: Award design prize for the Play category. Because, let's face it, we ALL want to look like these hipster Swedes when we go out for a bike ride amIright? The helmets will set you back $450, (plastic surgery and wardrobe NOT included).
How To Get The Most Out Of BuzzFeed
I wrote up a quick intro to BuzzFeed for some of my social media friends who are wanting to get started here, but I'm a bit rusty these days, so would love it if some BuzzFeed pros could chime in.
Bacon Double Cheezburger?
Happy Caturday, but we're pretty sure this isn't how they're actually made.
PeerIndex Social Media 1337
I've curated a group on PeerIndex featuring all the top Social Media scorers I could find. I'm still adding names to it, so don't worry if you aren't on it yet! Anyway, when I took this screenshot it had 1337 views today. Coincidence? ! 7 |-| ! |\| |< |\| 0 7

Chris is currently trading at 86 per share on his third day in the game. Attn: Jon Steinberg are you listening?
