Wait, the inventor of Bitcoin is my dad?
Brave new world we live in, guys. Doxing is the new reporting. Hyperlapse is the new timelapse. Cookie shots are the new cronuts. Polar bears are the new puppies! With all this frightening novelty going around, it makes sense that some among us might retreat into the past. On that note:
1. The monocle is in, and the Times is so incredibly on it. You could read the story in full or check out the monocle page on Amazon; not sure which is funnier, TBH.
2. One of the web’s biggest mysteries is solved. Maybe. Possibly. Depending whom you ask. Leah McGrath Goodwin claims she found the man behind Bitcoin -- and he’s a middle-aged savant who loves model trains. (Wait, the inventor of Bitcoin is my dad?!)
3. Are you sad the Oscars are over? Good/ridiculous news: Oscar 2015 speculation has ALREADY begun.
I would like to nominate this short film.
