Three Best Things, 12/7/09-12/13/09: Wesley Willis makes people more counterintuitive.

Creed is good, and Radiohead sucks. Videogames make you smart, but being smart is bad. Imperialism is good, except when Delaware does it. As The Encyclopedia of Counterintuitive Thought demonstrates, the Aughties has been the decade of contrarianism, which you already knew. And since you already knew it, you’re surprisingly wrong!
Rock On, Wesley Willis. It’s a bunch of Wesley Willis videos. You miss Wesley Willis as much as we do.
The funniest thing I read all week: Prejudice vs. biology - testosterone makes people more selfish, but only if they think it does.

Free bonus.

How will historians in the year 3000 discuss The Beatles? Especially when it comes to Scottie Pippen’s role in writing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”?

Three Best Things 9/7/09 - 9/13/09: "I Forgot To Remember To Forget"

Posted by Jason on Sun, 09/13/2009 - 3:21pm

Remembering the Beatles: Chuck Klosterman plays really dumb-smart, breaking down the remastered box set released this week by some “Liverpool pop group, a 1960s band so obscure that their music is not even available on iTunes.” With the remasters plus Beatles Rock Band, this week felt like a tiny Beatlemania. It was fantastic. While we’re remembering, here’s an idea: Annual Beatles Day.

Remembering 9/11: branding the 9/11 Memorial. More critically, remembering 9/10.

Remembering one of the greatest humans of all time. No, not Billy Mays. Norman Borlaug, the agricultural scientist whose contributions have saved literally hundreds of millions of lives so far, died at 95.

A lengthly behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Beatles Rock Band game: While My Guitar Gently Beeps. Supplemental materials: the game’s more-or-less entire tracklist, and a hands-on.
Been waiting all morning to see some ugly, really ugly couches formerly owned by the visionaries behind websites you use everyday? Your wait is over: Where 14 of the top internet businesses were started.
A 73-year-old Harlem businessman defended himself and his employees from four robbers, neutralizing all four by firing only three shots! Safe to assume New York’s uptown criminals have marked his business with a Do Not Rob tag on their iPhone maps apps.

Bonus editorial commentary

Some deserve second chances: Philadelphia Eagles head coach talks about signing Mike Vick. Other items have had more than sufficient opportunities to get with the program: IE6 Cannot Die.
