Cool Shit 10/22

Life hacks are becoming the cinderblocks the internet is propped up on in the front yard of life. So I would feel weird not passing these along to you.

Television conspiracies sounds great on paper, but once you apply these theories to the shows, they quickly fall apart, like so many real conspiracies. Still, I won't give up belief that The Fall Guy was a thinly veiled metaphor for the death of communism during the Cold War.

Sorry to buzzkill your apocalyptic fantasies of zombie outbreaks across the world, doomsday preppers, but it seems our ecosystem, and more specifically the animal kingdom, wouldn't allow it to be possible. That and the whole thing about zombies being completely fictitious.

Mental Floss currently killing it with its Calvin and Hobbes stuff. Here are 7 facts you might not have known about the iconic comic.

The concept of traveling in space will probably happen within our lifetimes. But it's a concept so young and fresh and weird and crazy and breathtaking that it is still something that holds wonder and affects us. Here the people that made it possible talk about how these ideas affect them and all of humanity. Basically, if you like space, you'll like this small documentary.



Aside from Sleepy Hollow (which I'm still not sure why it's successful) The Popcorn Trick was pretty spot on with being able to pick out the clunkers of the Fall television season. Which I guess means we should be hired to consult for the networks obviously.

The company behind Sriracha is not like other companies. The CEO is not like other CEOs. All he wants is his product to be widely available. Seems like he's doing a decent job, no?

A poster of fictitious beers. And there are plenty I imagine you have never heard of.

Cool Shit 7/31

Oh sure, science can try to explain how a Ouija board works, and suggest that it's not supernatural, but then how do they explain this?

Oh sure, Henry Ford developed the production line and the model-T, but it wasn't all suns and roses for him. Case in point: Fordlandia!

I can't think of a joke for this: the oral history of HBO's Real Sex.

So here's a look at what NASA has planned for the next 20 years.

There can be only one Harry Potter. Though that doesn't mean Hollywood won't try to find another one.

Apparently there's this TV show Breaking Bad and it's coming back or something soon?

HD Camera Space Trip

My dad scratched my cornea with an errant tennis shot when I was a young child. This kid's dad helped create a panorama of space...

Cool Space Photography

Sure, Twitter is a lot of toilet humor, rants about Monday (it's like a Garfield comic minus the drawing sometimes) and coffee talk (literally), but every now and then, something comes along that makes it completely worth it.

Douglas H. Wheelock has been posting pictures he's taken on his twitter feed. What's so special about that?

Douglas H. Wheelock is an astronaut, and his photos are taken from way up high. Why not enjoy some of the better ones here? (I think my favorite one is of Italy and Sicily at night.)
