The Case for Drinking as Much Coffee as You Like

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:04:28 -0500

The Case for Drinking as Much Coffee as You Like:

The past couple of years have seen findings, that, taken together, suggest that we should embrace coffee for reasons beyond the benefits of caffeine, and that we might go so far as to consider it a nutrient.

Delicious nutrients.

The Year’s Best Television Episode

“Blackwater,” Game of Thrones’s brutal season two masterpiece was the year’s most glorious hour of TV. But getting it right required a war-room mentality all its own. Here’s the story of how Martin, Benioff, and Weiss did it.

Glorious.

Clint Eastwood To Publish New Autobiography: ‘I…Where You’re Alive And They—You Write A Book About You’

Press materials from HarperCollins confirmed the 750-page volume chronicles Eastwood’s upbringing in Northern California (“I was born, and uh…uh…uh”), his personal life as a husband and father (“Kids are kids now, and that is a thing that we…and I think a lot about that”), and his long, storied career in Hollywood (“You make movies, and then they make them, and then they get made”).

On RNC Opening Night, Republicans Dare to Build a Lie

Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:24:12 -0400

On RNC Opening Night, Republicans Dare to Build a Lie:

But the Republican Party did something remarkable at its convention on Tuesday. It set out on an experiment to see exactly how much unmitigated hogwash the American political system can contain on a single evening. The Republican Party has set out at its 2012 convention in search of the Event Horizon of utter bullshit.

Shameless.

The Worst Argument in the World

Wed, 29 Aug 2012 22:42:35 -0400

The Worst Argument in the World:

LessIsWrong user Yvain:

I declare the Worst Argument In The World to be this: “X is in a category whose archetypal member has certain features. Therefore, we should judge X as if it also had those features, even though it doesn’t.”

Well, it sounds dumb when you put it like that. Who even does that, anyway?

A good primer on how passion and word choice can radically alter your perception of an argument.

Debate with logic, not with demagoguery.

I’d already styled 9 cups of picture coffee for this shoot, and I really wasn’t in the mood to style a 10th. So I gave myself one take for the puck shot, and when something went stupidly wrong, I decided to fix it in post. Ta-da.

This is a short tribute to my AeroPress. Two years ago, one was given to me, and it changed everything. For a little more than $20, this marvel of science will produce arguably the best cup of coffee you’ve ever made in your home. It makes no sense. Here’s where to buy it: http://amzn.to/IiqlhO

Created by Eirik Evjen Play in HD! and remember to play it with the music. Norway has recently reached 5 million inhabitants and the capital is growing rapidly. The city scene in Oslo is steadily thickening with taller buildings, more people and the never-ending construction sites. Being by far the most populated city in Norway with 613 000 inhabitants, most Norwegians look to Oslo as a major capital. However, if one compares Oslo to other international capitals, Oslo only ranks as the 112th largest. Oslo is indeed a major capital, just a small one… The production of this video was made out of 76 940 single photos, edited as a video after a lot of work. The video was filmed under the warmest march month ever in Oslo. I have never been on so many rooftops as I had the week I filmed this, a really fun experience. Follow me on Tumblr www.eirikevjen.com Music “Computer” by State Shirt www.stateshirt.com Logo design : Ola Syversen Strande Thanks to all that helped out getting me access to rooftops, apartments and other high places! Special thanks to Svein Jacobsen, Bente Isaksen, Terje Mork, Petter Nordahl, Annette Grøsland, Andreas Moe and the security guards at Oslo S. Finally a huge thanks to Christian Magnussen for awesome color correction help in post production. © Eirik Evjen Contact me for usage rights or if you would like to publish this video on your site : eirik@evjen.com
