It’s Monday, and if you’re new to Quarterlife Man (welcome), you’re new to the Monday Rundown. The Monday Rundown is a compendium of  randomness compiled over the course of each week. Enjoy…

[As always, if you've seen something crazy or have a suggestion, email us or tell us on Twitter (@QuarterlifeMan).]

––The future is here.

Check out Leap:

#SoCool. In two days, that video garnered nearly two million views, and one week later, the video sits at over four million views. If you were too lazy to watch the video, Leap essentially uses your natural hand movements to interact with your computer through a small, USB-sized peripheral. Goodbye mouse/trackpad. Goodbye keyboard. It’s all unnecessary.

It’s only $70, too. Order one here and own the future.

––Learnist: Pinterest for Learning

Take a proven success (Pinterest) and add a proven market (81.5 million students in the United States alone). Adapt the concept. Create Learnist.

Learnist is organizing all of the wisdom of mankind in text, images, video and audio, curated by fellow humans for your learning convenience.

The website is currently invite only, but you can request an invite on the Learnist homepage. Read more about Learnist here, too.

––The Great Gatsby

One of the greatest books of all-time will be in theaters this Christmas:

––Smartphone Battle:

This is like a cold war for smartphones. According to Mashable, LG’s 5-Inch 1080p display could send Apple’s retina display home crying. This is all, of course, while rumors for the new iPhone have it’s resolution increasing to 640 x 1136 pixels.

Can’t make any sense of it? Neither can we. Then again, you can add to the nonsense with the news that Facebook may launch a smartphone by next year [REPORT].

Maybe it’s time for the Quarterlife Man smartphone?

At least an app?

We’ll see.

(But there’s big news coming.)

––Proud to be an AMUURRICAN. 

Lee Greenwood, live in 1985. Happy Memorial Day, folks:
