TA NGLED WE B For when you fnish replaying DeAndre Jordan's dunk on Brandon Knight... Avoiding Doing Work https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/basketball-memory-matching/id566062016?mt=8 Basketball Memory is a Dime Magazine app for your smart phone. It's free, and it allows you an opportunity to win all sorts of prizes each week. After downloading from the app store, you merely sign in with Facebook or Twitter and you're ready to play (you don't necessarily need to share your scores or anything on your feed either). The next step is playing the game of memory. Remember in those old Mario games you were sometimes asked to match up cards that were lying face down? This is exactly how the Basketball Memory app works. When you start you'll see 12 Dime logos that all look the same. Once you touch one, it turns over to reveal a Dime Magazine cover. There's a stopwatch in the upper right corner that times how long it takes you to match all the cards successfully. For each game you fnish the subsequent score offers you another chance to win. It's that simple, and did we mention it's free? See you at the leaderboard. Music http://staplecrops.com/index.php/category/hip_hop_word_count Have you ever debated with your friends about who was the smartest emcee of all time, or which city produced the best lyricists? What about a list of all the basketball references in various rap songs, and where they originated geographically? With creator Tahir Hemphill's The Hip Hop Word Count, you may soon have a vast database with which to quantitatively assess these questions and more. Hemphill is in the process of implementing over 40,000 songs from as far back as 1979 to provide visualization charts and ethnographic data using an emcee's imagery, diction, rhyme style, meme-ness, sociopolitical ideas and other factors that encompass the poetry of rap. Think of it as a long-needed anthology of the various rap songs that have been an important part of the hip-hop world. Want to know the educational level needed to comprehend Rakim's "Microphone Fiend" as it compares with Lil Wayne's "I'm Me?" Well, now you can. How about the regional differences of the word "champagne" within rap songs? It's not quite at beta testing yet, but be on the lookout for this handy tool. Art http://doublescribble.bigcartel.com Double Scribble is superfcially a basketball Tumblr, but it's now offering original sketches and paintings in its store. What makes their art different or original? Picture a Clyde Drexler portrait created with a pencil and some coffee. Yeah, they have Clyde in Coffee, a 10x7.5 inch painting for just $22. That's another thing about Double Scribble: they sell their own art and some from contributors at an affordable price. While RareInk gets the help of an NBA partnership, most of their pieces can run pretty expensive, but Double Scribble's pieces are limited and affordable, if you do snatch one up. Some of them are one-of-akind pieces you won't see anywhere else. The most expensive one, a Kevin Durant Nerf painting for $122, is already sold out. Snatch up the original paintings or enter to win a mysterious $4 drawing. You won't regret it. 21
