Tattoo you: Tattoo5 is a blog about tattoos, but not just the ones you’re used to—this is no L.A. Ink. Instead, the bloggers go into detail on some traditional tattoo styles that they decode for the uninitiated. A recent post traced the history of Yakuza tattoos, body art with great significance to members of Japanese organized crime. You may not lop off a finger joint in a display of loyalty to the syndicate, but a full body samurai demon may make a real statement, as long as you don’t plan to frequent any Tokyo bathhouses.

Predictions: Television is not known for its accuracy in predicting the future, as evidenced by the lack of flying cars and sassy, jive-talking robots in our daily lives. But a 1993 series of AT&T ads directed by Fight Club’s David Fincher did a great job of presaging GPS, iChat, Google Books and other high-tech stuff we take for granted at a time when Super Nintendo was still hot stuff.
