Kelly Conaboy · 07/20/14 03:29PMHeart of Blandness: A Walking Tour of Silicon Valley
Ken Layne · 02/28/14 05:19PMWalking is the only pleasant form of traveling by land. You need no special equipment, training, money, e-tickets, antidepressants, or Twitter followers. Whatever clothes you're wearing will do fine; a hat and shoes are optional. When I've got a few days to spend somewhere, I spend them walking around. So I spent a few days walking around Silicon Valley.
The Remarkable Tale of Hunter, the Real-Life Rescue Dog
Ken Layne · 11/19/13 11:38AMWives and husbands come and go, children leave, friends fade into abstractions on Facebook. The dog is generally there for life, all of his or all of yours, whichever comes first. Hunter, who died Sunday night at home and surrounded by his people, was there for life. It was really his second life, which began when I pulled his numb body from a freezing, half-empty swimming pool 10 years ago this month.

Matt Toder · 02/24/12 11:22PMSome of the best Portlandia sketches are pseudo-commercial types where characters attempt to sell not just a product but a way of live to us. In this sketch, twins Marcus and Madeleine attempt to sell us recycling, their particular brand of recycling, and it comes off great. The constant asides, the subtle music cues, and the hilarious prop at the end make for a great sketch.
127 Hours Fan Retraces Aron Ralston's Steps, Survives 96 Hours After Leg-Shattering Fall
Seth Abramovitch · 09/25/11 08:37PMThere were many lessons you could have taken away from the movie 127 Hours, but if you had to boil it down to just one, it would probably be this: Never head out on a solo hiking trip to Utah's Canyonlands National Park without telling anyone. Well, Amos Wayne Richards, a 64-year-old from Concord, North Carolina, took away some different lessons entirely from 127 Hours. His lessons were all about the triumph of the human spirit and the fundamentality of man vs. nature and all that other spiritual crap that completely went out my ear the second James Franco sawed his arm off with a dull utility tool.

Matt Cherette · 05/27/11 05:02PMLast weekend, a woman named Samantha went hiking with her friends near Spokane, Washington and documented the trek with her iPhone.
