What 'Blue Monday' would sound like if it was recorded in 1933
BBC Arts and Orkestra Obsolete will take you back in time with this masterful interpretation of New Order's Blue Monday. Dressed in tailcoats and Zorro style eye masks, the bizarre group of musicians have re-recorded the electro-pop classic, giving it an ultra-vintage feel with instruments that were only available in the 1930s, such as the theremin, musical saw, harmonium and prepared piano. The cover was done in honor of the track's 33rd anniversary. Check out Orkestra Obsolete's freaky version of Blue Monday below. You can also watch it here.

For the past ten years or so, I've made it a habit to carry a tiny penlight in my pocket whenever I travel. I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore flashlight enthusiast, but when I was younger I used to collect flashlights of different shapes, sizes and output colors. I still have them, lying somewhere in the house, ready for action in case of a zombie apocalypse. If you're looking for a small flashlight with enough light output to find objects in the dark but would rather not keep supplying it with batteries, you might be interested in Lumen. It doesn't need any external energy source except your body heat. Ross Zhuravskiy is using Kickstarter to raise funding for his creation, and with 26 days until his initiative closes, he officially surpassed his initial $5,000 goal thanks to 477 backers. So how does it work? "Lumen has relatively simple work principle - you touch TEG (Thermoelectric Generator) - small ceramic bar that can produce electric current when ...
Rejection takes many forms: The varsity team, Tinder, the credit card, the university, the girl next door, Google AdSense, the job. Growing up, I never wanted to be a journalist. I wanted to be a pilot, or a shipmaster, like Captain Nemo. And then in my second year of college, I decided I wanted to be in public relations. After graduation, I applied to seven PR firms in Manila and got seven rejection emails. The job seemed perfect. The interviews went smooth. I was optimistic. But, they hired someone else. Being rejected after a job application can seriously break your self confidence and morale. I was devastated when I got turned down too many times, and I became depressed, angry and quite difficult to live with. However, I realized that wallowing in misery and regret will never help. So I took a step back, analyzed my job search strategy and determined my flaws. Have you been rejected recently? Cheer up! Just because someone says no today doesn't mean it'...
