Hack Your Housing: Check Out This Berkeley Freshman’s ‘Ridiculously Automated’ Dorm Room

So this is pretty fun. A University of California at Berkeley freshman named Derek Low uploaded a video to YouTube today of what he’s calling the “BRAD”, or the Berkeley Ridiculously Automated Dorm. Apparently, Low set out three months ago to make “the most ridiculously automated dorm room in the school ever.” That’s a hard claim to verify, but by the looks of the results — which apparently only… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : TechCrunch Discovery Date : 30/04/2012 19:22 Number of articles : 2

Ranking the 5 Best Photos on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Pinterest Boards

Look, it’s Friday. Remember that time I gave you 13 dancing Spider-Men ? Yeah. In honor of the weekend (and bodybuilding and social media and Twins and Terminator and Kindergarten Cop , which ruled) let’s take a look at the best pins former California governor/Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Arnold Schwarzenegger has made after a few weeks on Pinterest . Giant naan-eating Governator in 3, 2, 1… Schwarzenegger, along with more and more Hollywood types ( real and fictitious ), joined the new photo-pinning app thingy recently in a clever stroke of marketing genius. Looking for help picking the perfect back-cover photo for his upcoming memoir, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story , Schwarzenegger put out a call to fans; Tweet or Pinterest or Facebook Arnie a photo of — who else? — Arnie from any moment in his bizarrely varied professional career and if he uses your selection, he’ll give you a finder’s fee publishing credit free training session shout-out! But while crowd-sourcing for his own book seems to have been the original impetus for Schwarzenegger’s foray into the brave new world of Pinterest, it’s yielded a cache of kinda-great vintage photos of Arnold in action over the years. (Warning: If oiled-up beefcake shots of Arnold in his meathead prime freak you out, avoid his “Bodybuilder” board.) Even better: The more personal, candid photos he posts to the “Recent Trips” section, which is where he pins pics of himself eating giant slabs of naan and calling green energy “sexy.” Herewith, my friends, let us quickly rank the 5 best photos on Arnold’s Pinterest: 5.

Octomom Offered Free Blowouts From Hairdresser Amid Welfare Backlash

Brazilian Blowout, the company behind the hairstyling Octomom recently spent hundreds of dollars on while on welfare, is apparently as mortified by her antics as everyone else, and offering to make it right with free blowouts from now on. The company wants to reimburse Nadya Suleman the entire cost of her recent blowouts – plus other hair treatments – that she spent $520 on. While under investigation by DCFS for horrific living conditions, natch. Such reckless spending and inability to earn enough money to take care of her offspring has some wondering if Octomom should lose her kids . With that in mind, Brazilian Blowout wants to help a girl out. CEO Mike Brady says, “We want to make sure California taxpayers’ money is not going to anything other than taking care of [Nadya Suleman’s] kids. We don’t want to see those children miss out on anything at the cost of a Brazilian Blowout .” BB also wants to give Octomom free blowouts and cover the cost of a sitter while the mother of 14 is gets primped. They feel so bad about taking her money, they’re even offering to fix her toilet, which might allow her kids to drop a D inside. The stuff of dreams, right there. Should Octo lose her kids?

Ke$ha Pees on Street, Tweets Photo

Ke$ha has stooped to a new low on Twitter… literally! The dollar-signed singer – who has tried to get attention in the past for her wild haircuts – has now given followers a glimpse at the other end of her body, as she squatted in the streets of Los Angeles early Wednesday morning and sent out a photo of herself urinating. “Pee pee on the street. PoPo come and get me if you can find me,” Ke$ha wrote. “I blame traffic.” According to California law, if the PoPo had spotted this act, the artist could have been fined $270 fine. In related news: Ke$ha really, really needs a new hit single, lest we be subjected to more gross cries for attention. What do you think of this Twit pic?

Justin Bieber Writes Song About Paternity Scandal

‘I wrote about that situation,’ singer admits during an album listening session Tuesday. By James Dinh Justin Bieber Photo: Lester Cohen/ WireImage Justin Bieber isn’t leaving behind last year’s paternity scandal until he shares his two cents on the allegation — musically, at least. Just a day after his Twitter jab at 20-year-old Mariah Yeater , the pop superstar held a listening session for his new album, Believe, and revealed that the paternity case is just one of many subject matters he covered on the project. According to the BBC , Bieber said his inspirations included “that girl — Mariah Yeater — who said she was going to have my baby,” adding: “I wrote about that situation.” When asked to choose his favorite song on the June 19 release , Bieber struggled to answer. “Every song has a piece of me; it’s hard to pick,” he said. “I wrote almost all of them or co-wrote them.” Yeater definitely played a big part in Bieber’s 2011. The California woman kept the singer at the top of the headlines when she alleged he was the father of her then-3-month-old child. Bieber’s baby-mama-drama track is just one of 40 songs he’s recorded for the LP, which also reportedly features collaborations with Taylor Swift, Ludacris and Kanye West. In another interview during his promotional blitz, the singer dished details about his duet with Drake, even revealing the title of the star-studded track. “The song’s called ‘Right Here’ and it’s a smash!” he told Capital FM . “People are gonna love it. It just rides so smoothly.” Two acts Beliebers won’t see on the album are One Direction and the Wanted, as the star denied rumors of hitting the studio with the teen heartthrobs. What do you think Justin’s album is going to sound like? Share your thoughts below! Related Artists Justin Bieber

My name is Tyler, I am 16 years old and I live in southern…

My name is Tyler, I am 16 years old and I live in southern California. On Easter weekend I was dragged against my will to Big Bear California with my family to spend the weekend up in the mountains. On April 7th, 2012 after my family and I went to the zoo we went to the Vons to pick up a few groceries. As I was walking to meet my parents at the cash register I glanced into the aisle way and saw someone who I swore looked like Selena Gomez. When I told my parents of course they didn’t believe me but my mom insisted on me going to take a picture. Well I went to go find her again but I think I startled her….and she walked away. My mom saw her again in another aisle and this time there was Justin Bieber. I had never thought I’d be as starstruck as I was at that moment. The body guard told us no pictures please and Justin explained to us that he was enjoying his time off and I respected that . May I mention that Selena Gomez is stunning without any makeup on. As we were leaving the store, the couple also happened to be walking behind us, and Selena realized it and said “hi again!” . Granted I was still starstruck that I was even standing 24 inches within the hottest celebrity couple, and my parents conversed with them for a little. My phone unfortunately died in the store, and I had wanted a picture so badly, so Justin, as kind as he was finally agreed. We all went in between the two cars and snapped the photo, with “Big Bear Blvd.” in clear sight behind us. To be completely honest, the couple was very down to earth and super sweet to take a picture considering it was their vacation time. Its amazing how starstruck you can get, and the fact that I can say I just casually ran into them is what makes part of My Bieber Experience such an amazing one.   -tumblr: missmewhenimgonee Follow this link: My name is Tyler, I am 16 years old and I live in southern…
