Happy Friday! Have a look at what we're reading, viewing, and gawking at on the internet. We'll see you back here on Monday.
No matter how much you like Marilyn Monroe, we bet you're not as big as a fan as this couple, who for their wedding -- 60 years to the day -- recreated Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio 's wedding. Here's to hoping theirs lasts a lot longer. (7x7)
A couple weeks ago we mentioned the hot felon, who after his mugshot went viral, started the process of becoming a model. Well, now there's the Hot Cop of the Castro. (Facebook)
The future of architecture is on your plate. (Modern Farmer)
Be prepared to say "awww" for the next minute: This video of a birthday party for a hedgehog and his hamster friends may be the cutest thing you watch all day. (Digg)
It's hard to believe that it took this long for someone to have an epic meltdown and then split, but Joy choked in the last seconds of her run, deciding to leave the competition. "Shocking," said Gordon, but come on. This happens every time. It gets close to the end and someone can't handle the pressure. The sad part is that the menfolk are doing a lot better than the women. If either Jason or Scott win I will be disgusted. As fair as I find Gordon, I can't help but notice that the best looking contestants often win, which gives Scott's conventional good looks the boost he may need to be victorious. Yuck. Maybe having a Roman nose gives you the confidence to do what it takes, but I dunno. My money for the win is on Rochelle.
Selfie, how do I take thee? Let me count the ways: There's the awkward arm-up "any idiot can see this is a shameless selfie" selfie, the masterfully angled "no my friend took this, it's just really close up, I swear" selfie, and the Insta-popular "bae caught me slippin" selfie. But now, thanks to a new device called HISY, there is also the "hands-free selfie." That's right, there's a product on the market devoted exclusively to the selfie.
HISY uses Bluetooth to connect to your iPhone or other Apple product to take selfies (and videos) from as far as 90 feet. So essentially you're using a teeny tiny remote to shoot the picture. Each device also includes an instruction manual and a stand for setting your phone on while you and your HISY embark on the search for the perfect selfie. As stated on the website, HISY is good for "eliminating woes like weird selfie arm and the exclusion of people from the shot."
San Francisco is known for many things: clam chowder, frequent street festivals where everyone gets naked, and of course, the steep hills that have tourists opting to take cabs and locals mapping out alternate routes.
However, one resident isn't avoiding these arduous hills any longer -- in fact, 21-year-old cyclist Josh Diaz seeks them out.
In August 2013, Diaz posted a YouTube video of him biking up the hill at Broderick and Broadway, which, at a 38-percent gradient, is the second steepest hill in San Francisco.
