Playboy Magazine Articles: Casey Neistat - YouTube's Favorite Vlogger

MY WAY

I grew up in southeastern Connecticut, two and a half hours from New York City. I always romanticized New York and obsessed about it in a way I now reserve for the look on my baby daughter’s face. My parents would take my siblings and me into the city maybe once or twice a year, but if I had to trace my fascination with New York to one thing it was the Tom Hanks movie Big. I had it on VHS and would play it on repeat. Here was this kid who miraculously turned into an adult but had the brain of a child, and by maintaining his youthful spirit he was able to succeed in this gigantic playground that was New York City. Playing piano with his feet got him a promotion. To me, that movie was fucking gospel.

I moved to New York when I was 20. I was a bike messenger that first summer, which was horrible. This was 2001, so you had to pay for your cell phone minutes. I lived in a 12-by-12-foot room on the Upper West Side for $370 a month. The building was partly filled with people who’d recently been let out of jail. I shared a wall with a family who had a hot plate, and I could smell whatever it was they were cooking, through the wall, all day, every day.

PC Magazine: The Glove That Can Fight Parkinson's Disease

PC Magazine: The Glove That Can Fight Parkinson's Disease

During med school, Faii Ong met a 103-year-old patient covered in soup, and asked the nurses why they weren’t helping her. “There’s nothing we can do,” they responded. The medications for Parkinson’s disease, from which the patient suffered, don’t work forever, the nurses explained, and beyond a certain point they don’t help much at all.

So Ong went to work. In less than two years, he and a “crack team of engineers, designers, and medics” have gone on to win the first inaugural £10,000 F-factor prize and produce the GyroGlove: a wearable device designed to mitigate the hand tremors suffered by Parkinson’s patients.

The GyroGlove is a cordless thin-and-light wearable hand stabilizer. It’s powered by a battery, with a tiny integrated controller that drives a precession hinge and turntable, and a responsive gyroscope. The gyroscope isn’t a detector—it’s an effector. And it has to move “silently and reliably at thousands of [revolutions per minute].” With a motion disorder like Parkinson’s, the impedance of a person’s normal movements is a major detractor from quality of life. That’s why the device has to be so light, and why the gyroscope has to rotate so fast: It must be responsive in real time to the wearer’s moving hands, without encumbering movement and thus making the solution more onerous than the problem.

ADWEEK: What's Being Done to Rein In $7 Billion in Ad Fraud?


There's plenty of blame to go around for how digital ad fraud became a monster. Here, some ways to beat it back.

ADWEEK: What's Being Done to Rein In $7 Billion in Ad Fraud?

Long a dirty little secret of the digital media business, the topic of ad fraud has been thrust front and center in discussions among agency executives, advertisers and publishers over the last three years. Bot traffic, or nonhuman digital traffic, is at its highest ever, and recent projections from the Association of National Advertisers have more than $7 billion in advertising investment wasted. A variety of organizations and companies are putting serious efforts into stanching the losses, and the ANA will make the topic a centerpiece of its annual Masters of Media Conference next month in Hollywood, Fla. Serving on a panel discussion on March 3 will be Amy Bartle, director of media and digital marketing, La Quinta Inns & Suites; Ron Amram, vp of media, Heineken USA; and Michael Tiffany, co-founder and CEO of cyber security firm White Ops, who will present findings of a study on ad fraud. The following is an edited Q&A with the panelists, along with insights from Bill Duggan, group evp of the ANA.

NME Magazine: Kanye West - Making A Masterpiece

In 2013, Kanye West became a father. In 2014, he got married. In 2015, he announced he’d be running for President. Now he’s calling his brand-new LP “the greatest album of all time”. Larry Bartleet asks how he got there.

NME Magazine: Kanye West - Making A Masterpiece
June 15, 2013

Kanye’s fiancĂ©e Kim Kardashian gives birth to their first child, daughter North West, three days before the release of the 36-year old’s sixth album ‘Yeezus’. It’s his best yet – a brutal, revelatory and self-contradictory game-changer that debuts at Number One on the iTunes chart in 31 countries.

July 19, 2013

Angered by the presence of the press, Kanye grabs a paparazzo’s camera at LAX. The criminal charges include 250 hours of community service. The following month, in a televised interview with Kim’s mother Kris Jenner, he suggests fatherhood has changed his outlook. “With the press, it’s almost like an agenda to write me into a certain type of story… I have two people to live for – a family to live for. A whole world to live for.”
