Gainesville lost an icon last night—and simulataneously gained a new one. Goodbye Tom Gabel. Hello Laura Jane Grace. The 31-year-old frontman of the band Against Me! announced to Rolling Stone magazine he has always felt more like a she.  The singer identifies as transsexual and is...

Alright, we’ll admit it. When we first saw how Coachella brought Tupac back from the dead for a special performance with Snoop, we were impressed. Actually, we were disgusted, but whatever. That’s another essay for another time. We’re not here to hate on technology (because...

Ultra Music Festival is one of the most ridiculous music festivals one can encounter. It’s like a rite of passage for newb EDMers and Miami residents alike. I had my first raver experience there when I was still in high school, back when it was only a one day thing. Since then,...

The American Dream – twisted, broken and bloody as it is – tells us home-ownership is one of the peak experiences of human life. We grow up imagining our “dream home” and how wonderful it will be to furnish it exactly how we’d like it. Mine comes with an...

The other day, I was working on a piece about mobile apps to help you broadcast your boring life, and while perusing the Ustream app for usability and features, I found this awesome program called This Week In. They just happened to be showing a recent talk from Cheezburger Network CEO Ben Huh...

What they say is true, waking up is hard to do – but it doesn’t have to be that way. Take my story for instance. My body naturally sleeps about 12 hours a day, and it really gets depressing waking up to three hours of sun. I’m used to setting three alarms at a time of the...

  With each new bot hitting the scene, robots are becoming more interactive. These days, our metallic friends can walk on their own, talk on their own, pick themselves up, and while thinking on their own is still not exactly a thing, they can do cute fun stuff like kick little orange...

What did you do July 24th, 2010? Life In A Day is more than 4,500 hours of footage, compiled down to an hour and a half by Last King Of Scotland director Kevin MacDonald, capturing brief moments of human lives from all around the world on that Saturday about a year and four months ago. The...

So the past few weeks have been pretty crazy for us here at Fresh Wet Paint. We are relaunching the site in a month, starting a fashion line, and bringing you bigger parties more often. 2012 is going to be a breakout year for us and we are just getting started. We just want to thank you guys...

If the future doesn’t consist of me lounging around on a bed of air inside a bubble, I’m not interested in participating. While I am sort of kidding, it is a relief to see the work of Tomás Saraceno. The artist was born in Argentina but relocated to Germany where his most recent...

If you’re not taking a photograph for artistic reasons, chances are you’re trying to capture a place and time as close to reality as you can. Panoramic cameras are pretty useful towards this aim, and there’s always a fun novelty in seeing a closer representation to what we...

After a long hiatus from their debut album, † ; and an over-looked, thematic EP, Planisphere, the lovable french duo is back with a new album titled “Audio, Video, Disco”. The abum isn’t due out for another week, but already streamed and leaked versions are popping up...

Okay, I just had to post this for you guys because it’s probably the coolest video I’ve seen online, ever. It’s a bit long considering our debilitated attention spans circa the present-era, but the pay off for sticking with it is more than worth it. You’ll have chills...
