It is not an exaggeration to suggest that Jim Phillips helped to shape the way graphics were designed for skateboards. As an art director at Santa Cruz Skateboards from mid-70s, Phillips created unique graphics that influenced countless designers and artists even to this day.

84-year old Billy Standley of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, who recently died of lung cancer, was buried riding atop his 1967 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, attired in full riding gear, encased in a coffin made of wood and plexiglass. According to his family, he’d been making these arrangements for the better part of two decades.

It was a funeral he started planning 18 years ago, well before he could have known about the lung cancer that killed him on Sunday at age 84. “This was his dream,” said one of his daughters, Dorothy Brown. “He was a one-of-a-kind.” – Columbus Dispatch

“Broadcast eating” is a South Korean online phenomenon in which video bloggers live-stream themselves eating dinner while chatting with their online followers. One of the most popular “broadcast jockeys” is Park Seo-yeon (aka “the Diva”), who eats vast meals before an audience of thousands every day (you can watch an old broadcast here). Her fans send her virtual currency during the broadcast which adds up to about $9,400 per month. Park believes that her fans take vicarious pleasure from watching her eat and also tune in to fight off loneliness (a growing number of South Koreans live alone). Reuters has more details on the broadcast eating phenomenon.
