A Holiday Message from Ricky Gervais: Why I'm An Atheist

The New French Hacker-Artist Underground | Wired Magazine Thirty years ago , in the dead of night, a group of six Parisian teenagers pulled off what would prove to be a fateful theft. They met up at a small café near the Eiffel Tower to review their plans—again—before heading out into the dark. Lifting a grate from the street, they descended a ladder to a tunnel, an unlit concrete passageway carrying a cable off into the void. They followed the cable to its source: the basement of the ministry of telecommunications. Horizontal bars blocked their way, but the skinny teens all managed to wedge themselves through and ascend to the building’s ground floor. But the guards were nowhere to be seen. This stealthy undertaking was not an act of robbery or espionage but rather a crucial operation in what would become an association called UX, for “Urban eXperiment.” UX’s most sensational caper (to be revealed so far, at least) was completed in 2006. Eight years ago, the French government didn’t know UX existed. Impressive, right? “Here.” “OK, thanks.”

Windows 95 Tips, Tricks, and Tweaks www Radical self love started in my bedroom and became a worldwide movement. I want you to throw out everything you think you know about self-esteem. You know those books that say, “I’m okay, you’re okay”? Fuck that. You’re not “okay”. You’re SPECTACULAR. It’s time to explode the myths we tell ourselves; time to retire those tired old stories.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Through my years of self discovery, I’ve discovered — and created — a litany of tools and techniques, which make up the basis of my teachings of radical self love. My life gets better every day, because I walk my talk. You are destined for more than a life of corporate cubicle hell. Mega love always,

Tokyo's rabbit cafes hopping with customers Tokyo is full of cafes catering to a wide assortment of tastes, but in recent years a new breed of coffee house has emerged for people who love to hang out with rabbits. Ra.a.g.f, pronounced “raf,” opened last fall in the fashionable Jiyugaoka area in Meguro Ward, and is usually packed at weekends with customers reveling in the company of the cafe’s 20 to 30 rabbits. “I came here during my break to relax,” said a smiling woman in her late 20s as she fed fresh vegetables to some of the rabbits. Customers who want to buy rabbits can purchase the animals from the cafe’s breeding center — but the cafe’s rabbit “staff” are not for sale. Cafe manager Maria Fuwa cautioned that customers have to be able to provide suitable accommodations for the rabbits and also must promise never to abandon them. In Fuwa’s view, a rabbit is for life. Another rabbit cafe, Usagi Cafe Ohisama (Rabbit Sun Cafe), was launched last year by a pet shop operator in the Shimokitazawa area in Setagaya Ward.

Bomb Sight Four ways to use a polarising filter A polarising filter is one of the few filters I still own and more importantly use on a regular basis. It was also the first type of filter that I ever bought but that was way back when I first started photography 25 years ago. Since then the humble polarising filter has hardly changed at all, in fact the only real difference is that there’s now two types; linear polarisers (for film cameras) and circular polarisers (for digital cameras). If you’ve ever used a polariser then you’ll already know how they work. 1. It works like this. Get it right and you’ll be rewarded with great colours straight out of the camera. 2. Polarising filters are dark just like a pair of sunglasses. Now on a sunny day that probably won’t be a problem but on a dull day or during the evening, you can use this exposure loss “problem” to your advantage. Let’s say your exposure is ½ sec, f/22 at ISO 100. 3. Now you may be thinking that you could do the same thing in Photoshop so why bother with the polarising filter.
