In memory of Jeff Hanneman, founding member and guitarist for thrash metal legends Slayer, a fan has uploaded a version of the band’s seminal Reign in Blood album recorded in 8-bit form.
The 8-bit version of Reign in Blood was created by YouTube user Potatobombs1 (self-described as “a nerdy metal-head who has no life”), who has previously crafted 8-bit versions of other classic heavy metal albums from Iron Maiden (Number of the Beast), Metallica (Master of Puppets) and Megadeth (Countdown to Extinction), among others.

“The most obvious important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.”
– David Foster Wallace (1962-2008)
Somebody’s taken the audio highlights from DFW’s classic 2005 Kenyon Commencement Address and put together a short film that’s just gone viral. Nicely done.
Here’s the original unedited speech:
Some guy’s come up with a perfect idea to stick it to Abercrombie & Fitch: give it all to homeless people.
HOW TO HELP
1. Look through your closet, your friends’ closets, and your neighbors’ closets for A&F clothing.
2. Give them all away to your local homeless shelter.
3. Share what you’re doing on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter. #FitchTheHomeless

An article in the May-June issue of the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health & Fitness Journal does just that. In 12 exercises deploying only body weight, a chair and a wall, it fulfills the latest mandates for high-intensity effort, which essentially combines a long run and a visit to the weight room into about seven minutes of steady discomfort — all of it based on science.
