The ScienceWhile it’s no surprise that fast-paced music is a good and popular exercise companion, a study published last year discovered a direct correlation between fast-paced music and athletic performance. Volunteers in the study were given popular music to listen to while riding a stationary bicycle. For the first ride, the music was played as-is. In subsequent rides, the some volunteers received music slowed down by 10 per cent and More >
Intimately Minimal
Aug 31st
via 24flinching.comI have recently noticed a steady stream of minimalist recreations of pop culture media. Namely, minimalist design remixes of poster art for classic movies and music videos. Comfortably contemporary, no doubt.

The modern pentathlon will switch to using laser pistols for the shooting portions of the event in the 2012 Olympics. Super cool sci-fi twist, or major puss move?
