  October POV

  

  People have been bootlegging music, movies and video games for years; it was once a somewhat difficult process, but with software such as Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools, it’s easy enough a tween can utilize it. “Do-it-yourselfers”(D.I.Y.’ers) that create prop and costume replicas are already using a 3D modeling program to build efficient plans for their projects. Give them an at home 3D printer and they’re set.

  SEPTEMBER POV

  

  We think we’re either on someone else’s or our own all of our lives, but we never stop to think about slowing it down to just “take time.”

  AUGUST POV

  

  Armed with an iPad® and a pair of vintage Nike® high-tops neatly tucked into slim-fit jeans, they stand in line and compare t-shirts. One of them will have a vintage Madonna tour shirt, the other a Saved by the Bell-themed sweater. Their hair is crimped and they’re fully embracing neon makeup. They’re not headed to [...]

  JULY POV

  

  Earlier this month, America celebrated the Fourth of July. Or as it’s known in my neighborhood: “Fireworks-are-too-fun-to-be-illegal day.”

  JUNE POV

  

  E3 is sort of an electronic entertainment mecca. Brands spend their entire year (if not years) preparing to wow the public with glimpses of new games and previews of a new console system.

  DECEMBER POV

  

  For years, it has been a popular custom for Japanese companies to sell “lucky bags” on New Year’s Day. You purchase a mysterious box of goods for a set price, take it home and open it.

  November POV

  

  Think of it like Public Access Cable for Generation Y. This “dirtnet” could be the first step toward a more organic Internet—a more analog version of the Darknet, the part of the web that is not searchable. It’s free from security of any kind and is the ultimate underground filesharing network. Instead of trying to fight the organizations and the law, we would just cut them out all together.

  Well everyone, it’s October which means it’s time for leaves, pumpkins, the anxiety of preparation for the holiday season, and of course the word “sexy” appearing on everything it shouldn’t.
