Watch This Video Essay That Convincingly Argues Daniel Is The Villain Of “Karate Kid”
Nothing will ever be the same again.
Up until now, I’ve only had one qualm with The Karate Kid: the circumstances that force young Daniel Russo to become a kid who does karate. Early on, Daniel relocates from New Jersey to the San Fernando Valley. Despite the daunting task of having to fit in with a strange new peer group, he instantly wins over a bunch of bros by holding his own in a game of beach-soccer. He even musters the courage to flirt with a young lady in front of his teammates, which in the world of high school boys means instant street cred. After that young woman’s recent ex-boyfriend begins to harass her, Daniel is the only one with the guts to stand up to him, and he gets his world rocked by beach-karate in her honor. Here comes my problem. Instead of Daniel’s teammates being impressed by his courage and carrying him home on their shoulders, they make fun of him for not knowing karate and leave him to his beach-tears.
Shuddle Launches A New Carpooling Feature For Kids, Developed By Mom Engineers
The Uber for kids’ latest release aims to take over the age-old burden of family carpool coordination—and ease parents’ minds about safety.
When Bay Area “Uber for kids” service Shuddle launched last year, it raised a few eyebrows, given the recurring safety concerns around ride-sharing services for adults. But aside from a tussle with the California Public Utilities Commission around child-care rules, with which Shuddle now complies, there have been few reported issues. The company knows it would have no business without earning parents’ trust, and requires its drivers, almost all of whom are women, to undergo thorough background checks and have caregiver experience.
“Neo-Futuristic” Sounds Will Make Japanese Electric Cars Sound Like Space Ships
To solve the problem of noiseless EVs, the music company Roland will provide “dynamic and dramatic sounds” that change with driving conditions.
What should an electric car sound like? That’s the question that Japanese car maker GLM asked when considering its electric ZZ Roadster. And instead of coming up with something itself, it passed the task to someone who knows about electric sounds: Roland, the synth and musical instrument maker. Together, they will “co-develop a neo-futuristic driving sound generation system.”

Celebrate Windows 95 With These Delightfully Terrible Retro Videos
Microsoft’s classic operating system turns 20 today. To celebrate, a nostalgic trip back to the ’90s via some deeply weird videos.
It might be news to many of today’s selfie-snapping, hashtag-happy millennials, but Windows 95 was a huge deal. I’ll never forget the day my dad came home from CompUSA with that blue, cloud-covered box and we cracked open the CD-ROM for the first time. The installation felt like it took took all night, but once the disc drive stopped whirring, we were in. This totally new interface—it introduced radical new concepts like the Windows “Start” menu and the taskbar—would be our gateway to so many new and wonderful computer things. It even came with a full-length AVI file of Weezer’s “Buddy Holly” music video, for some reason.
