Beyonce and Jay-Z Buy $40,000 Chair - Luxist

Beyonce and Jay-Z Buy $40,000 Chair - Luxist: "This past weekend, while in Miami, Beyonce and Jay-Z took a tour of DesignMiami to pick out furniture when one of Wander's newest creations caught their eye. They took home one of his knitted chairs for about $40,000. The chair is beautiful, made of white cotton and coated with epoxy resin, but that price is quite a lot for a chair - especially when, due to the unusual design, half of it isn't really there."

You, Too, Can Vote For Rory - Deadspin

You, Too, Can Vote For Rory - Deadspin: "You, Too, Can Vote For Rory

voteforrory.jpgAs is made plain and obvious around here every day, we don't have the most fundamental understanding of hockey. We love hockey, particularly in person, but with everything that has went on the last few years, it's difficult to keep up. We know, we apologize and we're trying.

So when we find a hockey cause that makes us want to jump and dance around a bit, we embrace it with open pads and kiss it with our six teeth. Therefore, we proudly introduce you to Rory Fitzpatrick, the current cause celebre of the online hockey set. Fitzpatrick, a little-used player for Vancouver, is, according to HFBoards (one of the top hockey message boards around and the ones who started this whole mess), 'Fitzpatrick is pretty much the antithesis of a typical all-star. A Rochester, NY native, Fitzpatrick has spent the last decade bouncing back and forth from the minors to the NHL. Up to this season, he had played 210 games in the NHL in the last decade (approximately 24 each season). He's really just a hard working guy that gets by more on desire than pure skill. The kind of guy that doesn't get noticed when he's doing his job right. The kind of guy a team needs to win, rather than relying on superstars who are more concerned with the paycheck. Rory is a fan's man.'

Robosapien V2, now with flame thrower - Engadget

The robosapien is a flamer...who knew....

Robosapien V2, now with flame thrower - Engadget: "It's nice to have a walking, talking robot with a gastro-intestinal disorder and all, but the one thing Robosapien V2 has always lacked is the ability to rage mayhem like his pet. No more! Some firestarter, twisted firestarter has hacked a 'flame thrower' onto the unsuspecting bot who seems a tad perplexed by his new powers of destruction. No deets yet on how to apply the hack, but you can check the sneak peak video for the results. Hey Flameosapien, why not use your powers for good (like, say, plumbing) instead of acting on your nature to oppress our kind, hmm?"

Tube strike 'has little impact'

Perhaps I don't get it. There is a strike, but they can still staff most of the stations.

Either - not everyone is striking (which kinda ruins the point of a strike) or they have a rediculous amount of people who can do the staffers jobs.

Me confused.
BBC NEWS | England | London | Tube strike 'has little impact': "Tube strike 'has little impact'
Tube train
The last strike led to dozens of stations closing
About 20 Tube stations were closed and all lines were open on Monday morning, as a 24-hour strike by London Underground (LU) staff continued.

Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union members who work at ticket offices and stations walked out at 1830 GMT on Sunday in a row over new rotas.

LU said a good service was running on most lines and refuted RMT claims that they were running an 'unsafe network'.

Separate unofficial action has caused delays on the Northern Line, LU said.

Some drivers at the depot in Morden failed to turn up for work in support of a sacked colleague.


At the height of the morning peak less than 10% of stations were closed due to industrial action
London Underground

The exact number of LU's 275 stations open changes as staff arrive at work.

An LU spokesman said: 'This morning, the RMT strike has had a little impact on London Underground services.

'At the height of the morning peak less than 10% of stations were closed due to industrial action.'

'Clear agreement'

An RMT spokesman said LU was now running an 'unsafe network', and said staff were working in positions they were not fully trained for,
