Attention @scottsigler, @philrossi, @etherius, @jchutchins, @mightymur, @dsawyer, @teemonster, @philippajane, @pgholyfield, @mattfnwallace, @christianaellis, @veinarmor. I KNOW at least one of you is responsible for this and therefore holds the key to its destruction. So you may as well fess up before it’s too late. This stuff will destroy the world some day, mark my words. Should it become necessary to sacrifice any or all of you to its appetite, we will not hesitate. You have been warned.

This is cooler than any other rasterized mosaics I’ve seen to date. Mainly because I never solved a Rubik’s cube in my life. But, this guy can not only solve them, he can make any picture he wants to by rearranging the tiles in just the right order.

Hacks & Strange Stories

• Scamander RRV can cover any ground (and water) – SlashGear submitted by listener David
• Coffee Making Robot
• Moleskine map preserves your street cred

My Moleskin hack entry hides the fact that you are a tourist and can only be used on
a soft cover notebook. When you fold the notebook length-wise (when the spine practically
touches the long edge of the back cover), the fore-edge of the pages fan out. Only when
the notebook is folded this way, does a subway map clearly appear. This is due to the fact
that the map is printed on the edge while the notebook is positioned like this. You can hide
the fact that you are consulting a subway map and be spared the embarrassment and scorn from locals.

Yes Sony does make a nice small line of MP3 players called the walkman.  I have a 2
gig one that I listen to most of my podcast on.
2 reasons l like this one  when one podcast ends the next one starts and if I pause
it in the middle of a podcast and turn it off.  When I turn it on it is still there
at that spot so I do not have to book mark anything. 

I listen to you guys mowing the lawn weedwacking, grocery shopping,  doing house
work.  Driving is another time that I listen to pod cast   Helps tune out the kids.

Is there a contest on how long it is before Bruce Barr will be calling?

Now you can own your own custom paint job AMD Zodiac XLi and still get the smell of sitting next to the fat sweaty guy on a commercial flight. Current bids are around 22,000 USD. His loss is your gain. Well, sort of.


Secretly, I think he’s going to get more than it’s worth  just for the meme-factor. C’mon, aren’t you just a little jealous of this guy for being an internet? Chicks dig the lycra.

You sign a piece of paper and get 80 to 800 US dollars for just that. Only the small print says, for this much easy money you pawn your eternal soul.

When did The Onion open a Russian news desk? What?! It can’t be real. Look, just because every other story on their site is boring doesn’t mean this one is legit. Well, if it were true, do you realize how many souls my credit card is worth?

This was supposedly some cut footage from the Terminator 3 movie. For the A.D.D. afflicted, skip to about 1 minute in.

Found this on Mixx. So this guy must have way too much time on his hands. But unlike these guys, he has spent his time on super useful stuff, like developing the ultimate miniature pilot skillz.

Found this thru Susielin

High definition movie posters that come alive. Sounds like it should be an easy conversion from a still image to a digital poster that moves. This style of filmography reminds me of the Harry Potter style posters shown in the movies. The behind the scenes of creating this content is very impressive. Shot with a Red Camera in 4k at 30 fps.

Marv

Bubble gum sculptures. Somehow I don’t think this artist chewed the gum first. But if he/she didn’t chew it, how does the gum retain it’s shape? And shouldn’t this stuff turn black after a while? Like the gum found on the sidewalks.

So many questions.

Marv

Found this through Neil Gaiman’s tweet

I love my “MY LITTLE CTHULHUs”. Now you can reproduce them in paper. And then they will Destroy The Earth. http://bit.ly/ZBftL

Well, the papercraft dolls are kinda lame, but the real gem is the t-shirt. It’s all about the nostalgic childhood memories of the flying My Little Ponies. Floating hearts, aimlessly sliding down upside down rainbow on a cloud. And a super deformed Cthulhu, to remind you that one of it will last and you are really just an entree (and the kids who will wear these shirts are just hors d’oeuvres).

Marv

Yes, another 80’s TV Star Wars mashup. We need more of these.
