DJ Tips
I strongly recommend a mix of both. Every group of dancers is different, so this isn't an absolute rule, but most dancers prefer a mixture of familiar favorites and new music. Everyone has their favorite tunes that make them happy. And people love having a chance to dance to popular tunes they've heard. So don't leave those out. Furthermore, the better leads want to match their variations to the breaks in the music, which only happen when they know the break is coming. Then new music is always exciting for most people, including the experienced dancers, so also include those in your mix. DJ's more often err on the side of not enough familiar favorites (or worse, none). This recommendation is specifically for social dance music.

Barcode Yourself by Scott Blake Barcode Yourself is a complete, interactive experience in the series of barcode art, created using the personalized data of participants.

The individualized barcode can then be printed, mapped, scanned, even depicted on a t-shirt or coffee mug. Uber-geeks can even test out their barcodes on their next grocery run. It is in scanning a barcode that the project reveals its humor, like a banner that reads: Disclaimer! Human beings are not merely worth somewhere between one cent and 10 dollars. Fallacy List 1. FAULTY CAUSE: (post hoc ergo propter hoc) mistakes correlation or association for causation, by assuming that because one thing follows another it was caused by the other. example: A black cat crossed Babbs' path yesterday and, sure enough, she was involved in an automobile accident later that same afternoon. example: The introduction of sex education courses at the high school level has resulted in increased promiscuity among teens.

The Web's Best Slider Recipes We never thought a culinary revolution would spawn from a White Castle (even though we think more food should come in Crave Cases), but sliders have become a bit of a trendy food over the last couple of years. If there’s a party that has some passed mini burgers, you better believe you can find us right at the door where the servers come out. When we cook some up for a party/standard afternoon at home, we like to get a bit creative with the shrunken snack. Here are our favorite recipes for sliders:

Music From Video Games You will get very nostalgic as I did listening to these old memories. I almost dropped a tear while listening no Pokemon Pallet Town theme song.

Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived Additional notes from the author: If you want to learn more about Tesla, I highly recommend reading Tesla: Man Out of Time Also, this Badass of the week by Ben Thompson is what originally inspired me to write a comic about Tesla. Ben's also got a book out which is packed full of awesome. There's an old movie from the 80s on Netflix Instant Queue right now about Tesla: The Secret of Nikola Tesla. It's corny and full of bad acting, but it paints a fairly accurate depiction of his life. The drunk history of Tesla is quite awesome, too.

Kaskade-ft.-Polina-Human-Reactor.mp3 - [Electro/House] An Electrogasmic Summer: Calm Electro Songs to Keep You Wet All Summer Long SUMMER! Summer is probably the best time to party hard. With Students being off from school and people taking vacations to leave the ordinary routine of their lives, the sunny days in the middle of the year (at least for us) are a time to just go out and do something, anything! These collection of songs are not necessarily about hard hitting, floor throbbing bass beats and frequency stretching melodies that are so dirty you just have to mount someone. These collection of songs ARE about having a good time and relaxing at a pool party/bbq with warm electronic melodies that are not being overpowered by filthy and dirty bass beats (not that there’s anything with that). Hopefully these songs will get you in the mood to go outside and enjoy your summer with friends as you get drunk over rooting for your country at the
