I made this notebook from a manila folder, printer paper, black thread, and a sheet of wax paper that lined one of my Shake Shack takeout boxes this summer. Great notebook, or greatest notebook ever? Zoom

You can be obvious. Just not here.

What are the odds a Mad Men writer said that the closing credits song for tonight’s episode (which mentioned many times a Cassius Clay boxing match) should be “The Boxer” by Simon and Garfunkel, and Matthew Weiner, a notorious perfectionist who is pretty big on subtlety, immediately fired that person for being obvious? And then in a retributive move, made the closing credits song another Simon and Garfunkel song?

The NY Times reports: "An Oil Platform Burns, Blanketing the Gulf With Angst"

“Petroleum company executives have heaved a sigh of relief, as there’s actually no oil flowing from this platform fire. Instead, the fire has laid open one of the world’s largest angst wells. Now that the platform has burned, the angst is rushing out of the well at a rate of 15,000 ruined childhood dreams, financial anxieties, and bad haircut concerns per hour. As the event is unprecedented, scientists are uncertain how the coastal environment will react. Early predictions include increased production of existential literature, as well higher rates of therapy and hot yoga.”

These are the taps I pour beer out of twice a week at my place of work. They are: Smuttynose Old Brown Dog/IPA, Hoegaarden, Summer Bluepoint, Fuller’s London Pride, Blue Moon, Spaten Oktoberfest, Bass, Lionshead, and Guinness. I like the colors. Plus you never see Hoegaarden on tap. That is straight up unusual. Zoom

LED light bulbs may not be magic bullet for energy savings

This is an article I wrote for Ars Technica about how more efficient bulbs may make us cavalier about our energy usage. Combining that with the fact that we haven’t reached an artificial light saturation point means we probably won’t save much energy by using them.

If you want to see people flipping out to the tune of “How can we negate the energy savings of LED bulbs by leaving them on longer? We can’t leave them on longer, we already use all the light we need!! How can we possibly use MORE LIGHT?!?”, please see the comments.

M. Night Shyamalan was in no way involved in the making of this film” would be a good Hollywood marketing slogan.

alex blagg (via popculturebrain)

This is a fact for the following reason: one of the previews before Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World was for the movie Devil. The 20 or so people in the theater watched it in stunned silence until M. Night Shyamalan’s name flashed up on the screen, and then about half of them laughed.
