As you may know, the Academy Awards is fast approaching. 
What you may not know is that “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, a documentary by graffiti artist Banksy, has been nominated for Best Documentary. What is for certain is that Banksy has been denied the request to attend the award show in disguise, the Red Eye reports.
If he wins the award, how else could he accept his award? I guess we’re just going to have to wait.
I don’t know how I stumbled upon this, all I know is that these accessories (especially the rings) are very fun and unique. Check these bad boys out:
I know I’ve said this before, but I love fonts and anything that has to do with typography. When I heard about Kanye’s fontastic intro to his new video, “All of the Lights”, which dropped Friday, I had to see it. It is definitely a piece of work, both artistically and musically. Check it out below.
No, we’re not talking about Back to the Future here. I’m talking about the Electro/Experimental/Pop outfit from Chicago.

Thinking about chicken? Think again.
How about Coca Cola? Bingo!
The Huffington Post reports that the public radio show “This American Life” has revealed the secret formula for the bubbly soft drink.
Host Ira Glass is convinced the secret formula lies within a photograph. The photograph allegedly shows a handwritten copy of the original Coca Cola recipe, which includes the secret ingredient, “Merchandise 7x”
To find out more about the recipe and the actual ingredients, read the Huffington Post article OR listen to/download the “This American Life” episode Original Recipe.
Let’s face it, there are a lot of songs about love and Valentine’s Day, songs about breakups and makeups. Instead of making a V-day playlist (because I’m sure you already have one) I’m just going to list three quick-pick songs about loving love.
“She Loves You” – The Beatles
“Boys of Summer” – The Ataris
“Digital Love” – Daft Punk
Here’s a nice little Valentine’s Day poem I found via The Impossible Project:
I wrote your name in the sky but the wind blew it away. I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away. I shot a picture of you with my Polaroid and forever it will stay.
After shoveling snow for about 6 hours altogether, I finally declared our sidewalks clear! Then I went sledding. Huzzah!
Since this is the first music Wednesday of February, I thought I should start it out with something new. I’ve comprised a playlist for the week featuring songs, both old and new, that I feel have one common flavor. See if you can taste this week's flavor.I found a video that is somewhat relevant to what Chicagoans are experiencing now. The video below will answer many of your questions such as:
Enjoy.
Okay so I guess I underestimated this snowstorm. It’s pretty crazy out there. I went outside to shovel snow but the wind proved my efforts useless. So since I was outside already, bundled up in about 5 layers of clothes, I decided to make use of it and take pictures. 
Not a car in sight. This makes me want to venture out and befriend a polar bear.
