Merry Christmas!

This is the Theater District Business Center building in Chicago. The front of the building facing Randolph Street contains a number of colored lights running on a pattern loop behind semi-opaque glass. For Christmas, the pattern was modified to include a number of traditional Christmas themes.

Money

N.A.S.A.'s "Money" featuring David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, Z-Trip and the iconic artwork of Shepard Fairey.

Youtube Hillifier

We're digging the The Benny Hillifier. Add the Benny Hill Yakety Sax to any youtube video. Just enter the youtube video ID (the code after the "=" in the URL) into the box and blamo! hilarity ensues. Check out the one we made this morning.

You're Not Alone and It's Not So Bad

A fantastic video from Anthony Ferraro about getting laid off. Finally, a bit of optimism from the land of unemployment. If you haven't been to the land of unemployment recently you may wind up taking an unexpected trip there soon so, watch the video and realize you're not alone and it's not so bad.

Travel Deals for the Living Dead

We're digging Vice.tv's Guide to Travel Series. We're not exactly sure why Shane Smith and Pella Kagerman have to get drunk for their urban safari in Chernobyl but the series certainly explores topics and areas of the world left off of the map by the Travel Channel.
