Google recently launched “Google Play Newsstand”, a new application for Android enabled devices ( also knows as Google  Currents for IOs devices) that allows you to read all your favorite news sources in one experience. Newsstand puts the news you care about most front and center and presents stories that interest you based on your tastes.

With this news application users can subscribe to magazines, newspapers, blogs and news sites and the newsstand will  format and optimize them all for an enhanced reading experience on their tablet or phone.

In that being said I would like to let you all know that "The Collective Loop" is now on Google Currents and Google Newsstands.  It took a little bit of work but it's so worth it.

Please click the link below to Subscribe to: The Collective Loop.  

Now take TCL wherever you go!

If you are a website/blog owner and you want to add your content to Google Newsstand you can via Google Producer tool.

UPDATE 07/20/18: Google Current and Google Newsstand has been replaced by Google News now.

SOND™ ($95) by VOID watches is a unique timekeeper. This injection molded one single piece watch has an innovative locking mechanism that uses the watch itself to secure the nylon watchband. This not only greatly reduces the number of moving parts but also creates an interesting contrast of colors and materials and makes the strap easy to change and adjust.  Total number of pieces is 4 but don't worry it comes in eight different colors and can create over 500 unique color combinations without any tools or training.  Check out the watches over at VOID.

The SOND™ is waterproofed to 3ATM (30m), it measures 38x44x11mm (WxHxT) and the nylon watchband is 22mm wide.

So we all know that Valentines is coming soon, so why not give your man something personal but useful. All men need to shave, well at least most men need to shave.

Well they are at it again! Almost 2 years later they have finally come out with a sequel.  Way back in 2011, the strange and somewhat disturbing Muppet video Don't Hug Me I'm Scared went viral with over 13 million views. Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling are now back at it again from This Is It Collective with Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 2.

In this squeal it introduces a lanky character name Tony the Talking Clock that teaches the puppets about the concept of time. This video does have its creepy parts, but I'm still a fan of the first one but don't take my word for it. Watch the video below and let me know what you think.
