Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
Trouble in Boro Olympus is a short form TV pilot for The Triboro, an episodic one hour dramatic series about a group of youth in The Triboro (Olympus, Black Mountain & White Valley) that join forces and stand up to the ring of corruption that has taken control of their towns. It’s a suspenseful, noir, epic, and doesn’t neglect all the teenage stuff that keeps things honest:
Are online pilots set to become the future of television?
With quality like this, I sure don’t see why not.
Bring back your youth with these Barbie jewelry pieces form Margaux Lange.
Featuring limbs and leftovers form various plastic dolls that have been cut and mutilated into pieces of jewelry, it’s sure to set you apart.
Plus, it’s morbid in a plasticy sort of way, so you can show off your dark side.

I can understand the need to use scare tactics for certain issues, but underage gambling?
The state of Washington sure thinks so, and has decided to combat this ‘problem’ with a site called NotAGame.org; designed to alert parents of the dangers of youth gambling.
The only problem is, I think they got the direction of their facts wrong.
Instead of “If your kids gamble, they are 3 times more likely to be in a gang fight.” I think it’s a bit more accurate to say, “If your kids are in a gang fight, it’s 3 times more likely that they gamble.”
It’s not that I’m pro youth gambling or anything. It’s just that sometimes I wonder what the motivation behind a campaign like this is exactly.
Josh Spear, the man behind JoshSpear.com, recently spoke at Google’s Zeitgeist Europe 2007, and his insight into the world of youth and media is quite interesting. It’s long, but well worth your time.
