TED Talk: Nick Hanauer “Rich people don’t create jobs”
The notion that the rich are the job creators has always bugged me. Sure rich people hire a lot of people, but there has to be a demand for them to want to spend the money on new employees, and that demand is created by the middle class. So the economy actually trickles up, not down, or am I missing something?

Fall Out Boy back from hiatus
So yesterday Fall Out Boy announced their new album and tour. Obviously I’m going to get tickets on Friday, and the album when it comes out. I have mixed feelings about Fall Out Boy. I instantly fell in love with them the second I heard Take This To Your Grave. It’s probably one of my top 10 favorite albums. From Under The Cork Tree was also a pretty damn good album, but all their albums after Cork Tree didn’t do much for me. They were good—better than 99.9% of the radio crap—but just didn’t match their top two albums. Part of the reason is that their music has really changed over the years. I’m not one of those guys that wants them to recreate Take This To Your Grave every year. I like my bands to change over time and make the music they want to make. Fall Out Boy has changed in a way that I don’t like as much, but I’m fine with that.
I wasn’t to sure about their new song when I first heard it, but it’s starting to grow on me. Just like their last couple albums. Fall Out Boy’s new music now has to grow on me for me to like it. I’m no longer blown away the second I hear it, but that’s just me. I’m still a fan, and can’t wait to see them again. They are amazing live. The only problem now is they have so many songs, I won’t hear all my favorites at the concert anymore.

Great drive-through prank
For the most part I hate most drive-through prank videos. Most of them are just plain mean to the innocent fast food worker, and just not funny. This one was quite clever, and all the workers seemed to get a kick out of it too.

Mixtapes video for “Anyways”
One of my favorite bands, Mixtapes just released a new video for their song “Anyways”. I love their videos. They are almost all just single shot videos. This one is probably the worst one, but that makes it great in it’s own way.
