Proving that science can be fun, here’s a thermogram of human flatulence. Intestinal gas (red, lower left) being expelled from the body. The gas shows up as red because it has recently been at body temperature, which is warmer than the surroundings (via Science Photo Library photos of the week - Telegraph)

Stuff that reminds me of other stuff Pt. I
At least I now know I wasn’t the only one who thought that.

I’ll add some grey whisps, a soupçon of nerdy Baltimore, and some unanimous liberal hipster adoration later, but you get the idea…
Excellent movie, great scene.
I love (love!) the illustrations for Atari games, not just because they are beautiful, but because they are so outlandish compared to what the game is actually like. Sorry, but when I play Breakout I am not imagining I am a futuristic astronaut playing space tennis. Nice try, though.
Actual gameplay footage:

At least they got the color bands right.
Like I said, I will repost this around every Halloween until it stops being true or funny.
Yo, Yip Yips, I’m really happy for you and I’ma let you finish, but Bert and Ernie have the greatest Ante Up video of all time! (followed by a close second, A Divine Proclamation for Finishing the Present Existence)

This Thursday, Oct 15, Metrix Create: Space will open its doors in Seattle (at 623A Broadway East). It’s hackerspace meets an indie coffee house.

They even have a vending machine that’ll dispense Sun Chips, M&Ms, Clif Bars, and Arduinos, breadboards, jumper wires, etc.

Hi, if you are coming to this site via Internet Explorer 6, you might not be getting the best experience possible. Honestly, I can’t even begin to think about what your entire experience on the internet must be like? (…probably like riding a bike on the highway while cars blow by you on their way to Costco to get gallons of mayonnaise and 60-inch plasma TV’s). How will you ever be able to use this website?????? You wont. You’re an asshole and your browser is an asshole. So look, I’m going to be honest: I kind of hate you. BUT we c-a-n make this work. Here is what I am going to need you to do: fire up your Toshiba ShitBook© that weighs about 45 pounds, wipe the Cheeto dust off the screen, download Safari, delete Internet Explorer from your computer, punch yourself in the face, and get me a pulled pork sandwich.
