This Is How To Turn A Jay-Z Song Into A Geek Anthem

Some think of "The New Dork" as the "ultimate geek/dork/tech-junkie's anthem." I think of it as one of the more amusing parodies of Jay-Z & Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" and love the geeky shout outs crammed into it.

Not only does it have references to TechCrunch, Mashable, Valleywag, Geekologie—and yes, Gizmodo—but this video also appears to have scenes that were filmed in the Wired building. Yeah, that's pretty dorky.

Futura The ILLEst!

“Known for pioneering a more abstract style of graffiti writing, Futura played a major role in the NYCs graffiti scene of the 70s. As the popularity of graffiti art flared in the 70’s and 80’s, Futura’s work was shown alongside artists such as Basquiat and Keith Haring. As his style developed, he began designing, and has collaborated with numerous artists and companies, including The Clash, Supreme, and A Bathing Ape. Get an inside look at his workspace and his love for b movies, video games and, apparently, all things Sony in the interview from “The Run Up,” available to the public for free for the first time, on Upper Playground’s Walrus TV”.

Made-to-Order Headphones Show Your Favorite Music in 3D

Brian Garret Schuur is a clever guy, and that's why rapid manufacturer Freedom of Creation has taken his design for the Street Headphones. These made-to-order headphones feature the names of your favorite bands and singers all around them, in 3D.

They don't seem very comfortable, but I would be glad if people used this way to show their musical taste—as opposed to blasting the volume up. [Freedom of Creation]

Community/Derek...

Have you guys seen the show its funny just started watching....

From Dan Harmon ("The Sarah Silverman Program") and Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development") comes "Community," a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College. At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, "The Soup"), a fast-talkin' lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work.

Parlor Gallery

Parlor Gallery presents a unique vision in New Jersey’s art community and features innovative work by some of the best emerging and established artists. We show art the public may not ordinarily have access to and provide a venue for talented young artists who have never had an opportunity to exhibit. The main gallery features an ecclectic mix of genres with a focus on mixed media, abstract, outsider, erotic, graffiti and pop-influenced work. Our designer resource room exhibits more mainstream fine art and a flat file of prints and photographs. Parlor Gallery also offers a full range of services including installation, corporate and private curating, interior design, murals and decorative painting. Our goal is to create the premier destination for the Arts in Asbury Park.

Hydrofloors' Swimming Pools

I don't know who has the pockets and the space to install Hydrofloors—mechanically operated tiles that sink into the ground slowly, revealing a swimming pool already full of water—but I want to meet them. Watch them in action:

According to the manufacturer, the system is "nearly invisible" and you can adjust the depth of the swimming pool to any depth just by using a control panel. I wonder if my downstairs neighbor will mind it if I install one. [Hydrofloors via Notcot]
