Stuff White People Like by Christian Lander is a caricature of how one dimensional white people really are can be. The book is a bundled collection of 150 “stuff” white people like.

There is a movie called Zeitgeist, the Movie floating around the internet (freely distributed) and I wanted to biefly comment on some parts of it after multiple people had recommended it to me. Overall I found that the movie is working with a very ignorant portrayal of religion. They want to be taken serious and the claims being made are at best suggestions of some underlying fabric while they do not substantiate their findings with a credible bases. It seems a little like numerology where someone is eventually bound to find someway of connecting the dots together.
A creative and inspirational social experiment idea to make walking the stairs fun again! A group of Swedes set out to re-kindle peoples fun and playfulness as a way to get people walking the stairs instead of taking the escalator. So “obvious” choice was to transform the staircase into a piano. Each step a represents a separate note and when you step onto one you’ll hear the sound. Brilliant! I find little things like these to be hope inspiring.

It is funny, smart, and touches on sensitive issues by which some might be offended. It’s Bad For Ya (2008) was George Carlin’s 14th and last HBO stand-up comedy performance. All I can tell you is that it made me laugh every time I watched it, and I love how his jokes also make you think. Among the topics he made fun of are: old age, life after death, belief and religion, parenting and education, people being boring and talking bullshit, and social customs. In a nutshell, he is the old white man version of Chris Rock, if you can wrap your head around that. Read the full story
