In Basketball, Sports / 16 May 2013 / 0 comments

In case you’ve been living under a rock the past couple months, Kobe Bryant has taken up social media in an unprecedented way. After rupturing his achilles tendon, Kobe has embraced the 21st century and has quickly ascended my Power Rankings of Favorite Tweeters and Instagrammers. Congrats Mamba, you’re my number one! Recently, he’s been giving updates on his rehab as he tries to prove his haters wrong and comeback from his most devastating injury of his career. But Kobe crossed a line this past week. A social media line, that is usually reserved for the creepy people on the internet not named Kobe. He Instagrammed a picture of his achilles surgery and it was the most disgusting picture I’ve seen since Kevin Ware’s broken leg made its way on the interwebs.

A Look Inside Facebook’s 57-Acre Silicon Valley Campus [15 High Quality Photos]

In HIGH QUALITY / 16 May 2012 / 4 comments

On the eve of Facebook becoming a publicity traded company Wall Street Journal posed a poignant question, “Can you keep a freewheeling, youthful culture once you have become a $100 billion publicly traded corporation?” Facebook’s 57-acre Silicon Valley campus, which it moved to in December 2011, is chock full of amenities, ranging from a barbecue shack and two coffee shops to an on-site doctor, laundry and dry-cleaning facilities and a fitness center with personal trainers. We like to call this start-up culture on steroids, much different from Pinterest’s garage style set-up. Most of us will never set foot on to Facebook’s campus so to give you perspective we take a look at the beautiful shots from WSJ when they were given an all access tour for their must-read article, “Facebook From the Inside Out.”
