Still can’t leave it alone when Gilt + celebs collaborate.

A person on reddit just made a watercolor of me, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Adam Savage. I’m flattered.

“Tetris was invented exactly when and where you would expect — in a Soviet computer lab in 1984 — and its game play reflects this origin. The enemy in Tetris is not some identifiable villain (Donkey Kong, Mike Tyson, Carmen Sandiego) but a faceless, ceaseless, reasonless force that threatens constantly to overwhelm you, a churning production of blocks against which your only defense is a repetitive, meaningless sorting. It is bureaucracy in pure form, busywork with no aim or end, impossible to avoid or escape. And the game’s final insult is that it annihilates free will. Despite its obvious futility, somehow we can’t make ourselves stop rotating blocks. Tetris, like all the stupid games it spawned, forces us to choose to punish ourselves.” — NYTimes gets dark about Tetris

Sneak Peek of This Week’s Split Issue: Eeek!

Look for a cover story — which looks at the new boy-band phenom — on Billboard.com later today!
My second cover story for Billboard, and can I just say, these are literally the best covers ever.
If I could adopt a son who was born the same year as me, it would be Steven, because I am just so proud.
