<br />
Thanks <a href="http://www.thedenveregotist.com/news/national/2013/july/18/day-russian-billionaire">Denver Egotist</a> for throwing this gem my way. When it comes to content, Vice is ripping it up. Check out 'A Day with a Russian Billionaire", it's like National Geographic on crack and the fringe.<br />

Brilliant way to replace the outdoor book bin. Not knowing what you'll get, and the feeling that the dispensed book is somehow meant for you, turns buying a 2$ book into a magical experience.

I love the IKEA monkey. A little Rhesus Macaque wrapped in a fashionable shearling coat was found wandering an IKEA in Toronto. Apparently, while in his owner's car parked outside the Swedish furniture giant, he managed to open his cage gate and then the car door and wander into IKEA. The scent of wafting meatballs must have been too tempting to withstand. But I think I love the memes more.

My father, a beatnik painter, never carried a wallet. He always had bills, rolled up in a tight tube, wrapped in rubber bands. He still doesn't have credit cards, and has a profound disdain for credit in general and automated payments. There's something beautifully freeing about the idea of bills in rubber bands. Maybe that's all you need.<br />

Unfortunately, Halloween isn't a big thing in Copenhagen. Danes have their own fancy dress outfit, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_in_Denmark">Fastelavn</a>, so the 31st is like America muscling in. If I had a party to go to, I'd be sporting this bad boy.

It's no surprise they continue to innovate by creating an "Instagram menu". <i><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/17/restaurants-instagram-comodo_n_1973754.html">Patrons are asked to snap pictures of their meals and upload them to Instagram, with the hashtag #comodomenu. </a></i><br />
