New documentary shows the dark side of Steve Jobs

There's a new documentary on Steve Jobs which takes a critical look at the extraordinary life of the late tech icon. Combining old footage and new interviews, Steve Jobs: The Man In The Machine centers on the Apple co-founder's brilliant career and his private life.

Not to be confused with the Steve Jobs movie starring Michael Fassbender, the documentary follows Jobs from his pre-Apple days to his reign as CEO of a multibillion-dollar company. However, the film also depicts him as a brutal and arrogant man driven as much by ambition as innovation.

Steve Jobs: The Man In The Machine is the latest project from Oscar-winning documentary maker Alex Gibney, who is the director behind Taxi to the Dark Side, along with We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks, and, most recently, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.

The film will be released in theaters and on iTunes on September 4.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
