Whether you’re a Taylor Swift lover or hater, I think that both parties can agree that this remix of her recent hit “I Knew You Were Trouble” is infinitely better than the original.

Warning: Do not watch in a public space. Uncontrollable laughter will ensue.

At BlogDH we take our sloth videos seriously. No commentary or unnecessary music tolerated–just quick slow-and-dirty sloth action. Above is a playlist of eight slothpicks we believe represent our tastes.

It’s Friday afternoon. You don’t go to the Rock to not watch sloth vids.

(BlogDH) TuftsWow. We need to step up our game. After Tufts’ annual “Winter Bash,” 15 Tufts students were “treated for excessive drinking,” six of whom got EMS-ed (or whatever they call it up there). Other kids were seen “throwing up and urinating in the lobby” of the Westin Copley Place hotel. Suffice it to say it’s a bit more upscale than the Whisko men’s room. Contrary to Bill O’Reilly’s belief, this actually makes SPG look tame-ish on the EMS front.

google glass

Just when we thought Google couldn’t take it any further (i.e., be any more convenient, innovative, or creative than they already are) it went out there and proved us wrong.

Introducing Google Glass, the wearable, hands-free device that takes pictures, answers questions, records videos and does much, much more at the command of your voice. If you’re like the rest of us, you’ll be dying to get your hands on a pair of these. To become a Google Glass “Explorer,” you must apply by answering the question “#ifihadglass,” and of course, impress the insanely brilliant Google creators with sample pictures and videos.

Curious? Check out how it feels to wear Google Glass.

Putin meteor

This morning in Rhode Island: It was pretty nice out. I took off my jacket on the way to class and got a little chilly. It was worth the experience.

This morning in Russia: A 10-ton meteor streaking across the early-dawn sky at 19 miles PER SECOND exploded and sent giant chunks of flaming space rock hurtling to the ground, injuring hundreds.

Read about it here, watch the videos here.

It’s always useful to remind yourselves how to not give a f#@k in the face of everyday annoyances, e.g. midterms, enormous piles of snow in front of Wilson, and the lines at the 12 p.m. Ratty lunch rush. Here are 30 easy steps to blissful, resigned apathy.

38243354547Let’s face it, you need more tumblrs in your life. You also need more David Bowie in your life, even if you don’t know it yet. It turns out that when you’ve changed your look as many times as Ziggy Stardust, you can basically look like anyone. Davidbowieaseveryone.tumblr.com noticed. It has Bowie as a pineapple, Bowie as a vacuum cleaner in space, Bowie as Legolas, and even Bowie as the entire cast of Golden Girls. Dude is still killing it. Can we get a Bowie as Kendrick Lamar/A-Trak/Big Freedia etc.? I’d buy that Spring Weekend Tank.

Yet another reason to be eternally grateful for BCA: Dirty Projectors’ awesome cover of Usher’s “Climax.” Intriguing?…or slightly disturbing? Either way, we can’t wait for Dirty Projectors to kill it during Spring Weekend 2013. Too bad Usher is missing out.
