Pinterest In the 90s Would Have Kept You On the Cutting Edge of Fashion, Give or Take Two Months [Video]

Pinterest would probably not have been quite the runaway hit had it started life in the 90s. As this commercial demonstrates, it loses some of its appeal when users have to wait a couple of months to get an updated CD-ROM with what's fashionable. There's nothing more embarrassing than showing up to a party wearing a B.U.M. sweater that went passe two weeks ago. More »

EveryMove Nabs $2.6M From Blue Cross, BuddyTV Co-founder To Help You Reduce Health Costs

everymove_1333574619_oEveryMove, an alum of TechStars' Seattle accelerator program building what they've dubbed a "mileage plan for health benefits, today announced that it has closed a $2.6 million round of series A financing. Participating investors include Penera Blue Cross, Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Nebraska, BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners, Founders Co-op, Summit Capital, Jonathan Sposato, Voyager Capital Partner Geoff Entress, Matt Shobe, William Lohse, BuddyTV Co-founder Andy Liu, Ken Kuntz, and others. Founder and CEO Russell Benaroya tells us that the way health care is set up (in the U.S.) today, the people making healthy lifestyle choices end up subsidizing those who are making unhealthy decisions; instead, they should be rewarded for it. If the country is going crazy for consumer-centric healthcare, then that inherently demands that people be given control over their health (and healthcare). That's where EveryMove comes in.

New Sports and Recreation Titles ? Central Library Arts Division ...

A tale of international intrigue, espionage, attempted murder, and, of course, baseball, Banzai Babe Ruth by Robert K. Fitts is the first detailed account of the doomed attempt to reconcile the United States and Japan through the 1934 All American baseball tour. Robert K. Fits provides a wonderful story about baseball, nationalism, and American and Japanese cultural history.

Only one man, Bud Harrelson, can say he was in uniform for both New York Mets world championships: as the shortstop who anchored the infield of the 1969 ?Miracle Mets? and then as the third-base coach for the storied 1986 team. In Turning Two, Harrelson delivers a team memoir as he takes fans through the early seasons, sudden success, lean years, and return to glory.

Epsom Downs, May 3rd, 1769: a chestnut with a white blaze scorches across the turf towards the finishing post. His four rivals are so far behind him that, in racing terms, they are ?nowhere.? Awestruck, his spectators know they are in the presence of greatness. Eclipse: The Horse that Changed Racing History Forever is a vivid portrait of high and low life; of princes, paupers, and prostitutes; an era of passionate sport, ferocious gambling, and uninhibited sex. It?s the story of a rank outsider who went on to become a national celebrity; and of the horse that became a national icon, and whose influence is transcendent 200 years later.

The Philadelphia Athletics dominated the first fourteen years of the American League, winning six pennants through 1914 under the leadership of their founder and manager, Connie Mack. But beginning in 1915, where volume 2 in Norman L. Macht?s biography picks up the story, Mack?s teams fell from pennant winners to last place and, in an unprecedented reversal of fortunes, stayed there for seven years. World War I robbed baseball of young players, and Mack?s rebuilding efforts using green youngsters of limited ability made his teams the objects of public ridicule. Baseball biographer and historian Macht recreates what may be the most remarkable chapter in this larger-than-life story.

Published in association with the Boston Globe, Fenway Park is the product of an all-star cast of writers, photographers, and baseball historians. It includes more than 250 classic and never-before published photographs, a removable poster featuring the rare blueprints of Fenway?s historic 1934 renovation, a double gate-fold of Fenway?s famous Green Monster, a foreword by Jim Lonborg, and a special introduction by former Globe publisher Benjamin Taylor.

Come out and play!! Long summer afternoons spent playing Kick the Can, Capture the Flag and Wiffle Ball- you loved those games and the carefree hours spent in the sunshine with your best buddies. Now, even if you can?t remember the difference between dodgeball and double ball, you can brush up on the rules of your favorite classics (plus learn a few new ones!) in Tag, Toss & Run: 40 Classic Lawn Games by Paul Tukey and Victoria Rowell.

You Can Get Away with Being a Total Dick If You're on the Phone [Video]

You know the move: Someone approaches, trying to talk to you—maybe it's important!—but you hunch your neck, shoosh them, point at the phone, and stare at them like they just took a dump in the middle of your mother's tupperware party. And they shut up. More »

HTC One X Otterbox Commuter Hands-on

Otterbox HTC One X

While walking around visiting some of my favorite booths down here at CTIA I came across the Otterbox booth and decided to check and see if they happened to have anything new on display. Of course, front and center of the display was their new Commuter Series case for the HTC One X! Odds are that you have already seen an Otterbox case or a hundred before, so you know what they are all about, and this follows the same design principle. This two piece case has a silicon case underneath their hard shell, and the one I saw was in a rather stunning blue.

At first I was a bit fearful of the thought of adding a case to the device because it has such beautiful lines as it is, and I know folks who own the device wouldn't want to give that up. Otterbox has done an excellent job with this case in recreating the lines of the device through the case, and adding a lot of protection with little sacrifice. Hit the break with us to check out a couple more shots, and stay tuned for a full review!
