The New California
California will become the first state in the nation to require restaurants to disclose how many calories are in their standard menu items. Schools will be barred from serving fries, baked goods and other dishes made with oils, margarine or shortening containing trans fats and, on top of it all, high schools are not able to sell sodas to students any longer.

Laser Portraits
Hilarious.... LaserPortraits
"You begged your mom to pay the extra $4. A tribute to the greatest school photo backdrop there ever was."
Avi Buffalo ::: What's It In For?
... Presently label-less (though most likely not for long) the group of 18 year olds craft sugary folk-pop that sounds both effortless and absolutely rife for placement in the next ( insert your “quirky” indie film soundtrack here). Great stuff. Highly recommended. (via: Aquarium Drunkard)

Remember Mazzy Star?
Who could forget 'Fade Into You'? I think I bought the Felicity soundtrack just for that dreamy ballad. In case you've never seen the video :
Well Mazzy Star is back! Well technically Mazzy Star isn't a person. It is an alternative rock band formed in 1989. In fact, they're getting ready to release their 4th album. But Hope Sandavol, the vocalist behind the ballad, has been busy on her own and is returning as Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions (which features My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig). The new disc Through the Devil Softly — out September 15th — is a lovely, 11-track collection of narcotic, folk tunes centered by Sandoval’s breathy, irresistible seductive croon.
Listen to 'Blanchard' here.

Crazy awesome clock
"Designer Vadim Kibardin's Black & White Clock turns two dimensions into three with a series of four OLED digits, each with their own power source.
A light sensor would figure out if it's bright or dark in the room, adjusting the numbers accordingly--going dark to form numbers during the day, and bright white at night."
Australian town bans bottled water
"The small Australian town of Bundanoon just set a new standard for sustainability by voting to do what no community has ever done before: ban bottled water! The measure was founded over concerns about the tremendous amount of resources used to extract, package, and transport bottled water, and it passed nearly unanimously in a town hall meeting."

Drive In Movies
Something about a drive in movie is so classic....... and so romantic. A few friends and I went to a drive in movie... in the middle of downtown LA! Devil's Night Drive In (formerly Angel City Drive In) We sat on the roof of a building and watched "The Professional." You could either bring a blanket and watch in the front or you could pull up in your car.
To find a drive in movie close to you..

Facebook for iPhone update
Facebook’s iPhone application is one of the most popular iPhone apps overall - nearly 25% of all iPhone owners use it according to Joe Hewitt, lead engineer for Facebook’s iPhone application. Today, Hewitt shared some more details on the upcoming version 3.0 of the Facebook iPhone app.What will be coming in the new version?
1. The “new” News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
The new home screen will definitely make for a friendlier user experience, especially with the addition of Events, Notes, Pages, and photo albums. The addition of the Pages feature means that brands with Facebook Pages will have increased visibility when users are on the go.
While Hewitt said he didn’t know when the app will be submitted to Apple, it is about “98% done.” However, Push Notifications, which are in high demand, will be included in Version 3.1 later this summer, Hewitt says.

Camp Comfort
Recently Roberta Jane of Camp Comfort (one of my all time favorite blogs) asked a few of her blogger friends to put together a outfit based on a pair of Topshop Jean Shorts and then specify where they would wear their outfit. The results were all incredibly unique. Check out some of my favorites below..
And some more...
