Disaster Links

Modern “Hackintoshes” show that Apple should probably just build a Mac tower. It is hilarious to me that Apple hasn't updated the Mac Pro in a couple years. Do you have any idea how long a couple years is in PC computing power time? It's like dog years. I'd be surprised if the Mac Pro could even run Zork. If I was a musician or graphic designer who really really "needed" to run Mac OS you better believe I'd build my own. It's insane that they expect you to pay a premium for out of date hardware, but I guess that's the Apple way.

A Tech Bro Charged Thousands for an Island Getaway That Turned Into The Hunger Games. OMG you guys, have you been keeping up with the Fyre festival disaster? I know this story popped last Friday but it's been a busy few days. Long story short is the Fyre Festival was sold as "what if Coachella was in a tropical paradise and everyone there was super rich". Tickets went from a mildly unreasonable $1,200 to an absurd $250,000. Turns out the guys running the festival had no idea what they were doing, all the bands canceled and the people who went there expecting super luxury conditions got cheese sandwiches and disaster relief tents.

I Worked at Fyre Festival. It Was Always Going to Be a Disaster. “Let’s just do it and be legends, man." That's your money quote from some Fyre Festival exec who was told the event would cost 50 million to produce and STILL wouldn't live up to what was hyped. Then they fired almost everyone working on it. I'm assuming to save some cash for those cheese sandwiches. Seriously man, this first hand account of how poorly planned this festival was is amazeballs.

$100 Million Lawsuit Claims Fyre Festival Owners Knew It Was Doomed All Along. And here's your lawsuit! Looks like there's some evidence that the promoters actually told certain high end guests to stay away knowing was a shitshow everything was turning out to be. Of course they let all the other suckers fly out the to Bahamas anyway. The absolute best part about all of this is they're still planning on a Fyre Festival 2018. Good luck selling that amigos.

K.Flay: Can't Sleep

This song and video from K.Flay pretty much captures my weekend (minus the drop crotch pants). It has been hot as balls in my house and I can't sleep at all. I'm one of those people that likes to sleep under a ton of heavy covers so trying to sleep without any has led to some pretty restless nights. My son is still sleeping under all his blankets and his room is even hotter than ours, I don't know how he does it. He must be part iguana.

You're Probably a Hipster

The Ideal Channel, which I've been told is a thing from PBS, has made this video asking "Aren't we all a little bit of a hipster?".

Screw you PBS, does having a mohawk in your mid-30s make you a hipster? Does not listening to music on the radio, or any band signed to a major label make you a hipster? Does enjoying soccer and comic books make you a hipster? Does drinking PBR while playing disc golf make you a hipster? Please PBS, I think I would know if I was a hipster.

Hipster Disney Princess: The Musical

Here's a song about being a hipster sung by some Disney Princesses. It's kind of amusing. I don't know, I'm kinda over the whole Hipster Ariel meme. I've moved on to newer more underground memes that you've probably never heard of.

Aquaman is cooler than you

No.. no he isn't.

Not that Aquaman isn't cool. I mean I really like Aquaman but lets face it he's not cooler than I am. I run a nerd blog and drive a 2003 Nissan Sentra. Nice try Aquaman.

15 Hilarious Kate Middelton FTW pics. Not all 15 are hilarious, but most of them are pretty good. At least this gives me something to snicker about while my wife makes me watch this stupid wedding.

Gary Busey joins the cast of Piranha 3DD. In other news there's a sequel to Piranha 3D and it's called Piranha 3DD, as in double Ds. You know, like boobs man.

How Michael Scott went from zero to hero. Even with The Office getting kinda crappy over the last couple years, Michael Scott's last show feels like a big deal. But I swear if NBC plays that Green Day song at any point I'm out.

Dads the original hipsters. Yeah that's one year old me on my dads toaster tank BMW with Ural sidecar. Way to keep it real dad.

Hipster Superheroines

Hipster memes are everywhere these days so Comics Alliance made their own. It's called Hipster Superheroines and it's kinda funny. I mean it's better than not posting anything. I guess...

I'd like to hear from Sideshow Mel

So if you felt a disturbance in the force last night it was probably just everyone on twitter demanding to know just who the hell are Arcade Fire and why are they winning all the Grammys. The Internet outrage was bad enough that someone started a tumblr blog dedicated to tweets and facebook posts called Who is Arcade Fire?!? It's worth a couple minutes of you time.

And as a side note, I'm so much of a Hipster that I totally knew who Arcade Fire were and had already considered them overrated way back in 2007. Also I was surprised to here Eminem was still making albums.
