Did you know there’s a special way to wrap your cables that not only keeps them neat and tidy, but also makes them perfectly unfurl without tangling when you’re ready to use them? It’s the de facto way to store cables in the video, film, and music industries, and it can also help lengthen the life of all your cords.
Last week, we asked you to imagine
what President Obama was actually looking at while wearing a virtual reality headset.
I go into Target every now and again when I am in a hurry, don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, and don’t want to stand in the line at Walmart. If you’ve ever noticed, Target locations always have those big red balls out front that are mostly just things for kids to climb on.
I assume they are really meant to give you a place to hide from that 80-year-old lady who gets confused between the gas and brake, if you don’t want to get squished. Now, Target is taking those red balls and is turning them into giant Poké Balls in an effort to seem more hip.
They may be a bit late to the party with recent reports showing that the popularity of Pokémon GO is on the decline. Still giant Poké Balls are cooler to look at than plain red balls and either one will keep said old lady from crushing you with her car.

Kanye West might be trying to patch things up with Taylor Swift.
The “Famous” rapper tweeted out a photo on Monday afternoon of a fan T-shirt featuring a split image of one of West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” album covers by George Condo (the one of West being straddled by a naked sphinx) and Swift’s “1989” cover.
He shared the shot along with the message “unity love.”
During Sunday night’s MTV VMAs, West briefly evoked his feud with Swift during his four-minute speech.
“Well, if we think about last week, and it was 22 people murdered in Chicago … People say, ‘Oh, but you have that beef with Taylor,’ but I love all y’all — that’s why I called her,” he said.
Your move, Taylor.
