From: MastersInIt.org I wonder if tongue in cheek infographics like this reinforce and amplify stereotypes. Either way, it’s fun to read down the list. Guess I’m geek. [via Coudal Partners]

Seen in a comment thread this morning: Person 1: “Anyone know: what planet or star system is Jeff Bezos from?” Person 2: “Kindle.” Brilliant! In all seriousness, the Kindle Fire looks like a very interesting device. The iPad and Kindle Fire are two different things and will appeal to two different types of users. My [...]

David Rees over at Good posted a wonderful piece on our fascination with celebrities and how social networking on the internet interacts with it: How Tall Is Jake Gyllenhaal?. I’m not the sort of person who thinks much about the height of celebrities. (I’ve always assumed most famous people are about seven feet tall.) The [...]

This embedded player should play all ten 1 minute videos back to back. If not here’s the YouTube page that lists them singly: The History of English in Ten Minutes. Where did the phrase ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing’ come from? And when did scientists finally get round to naming sexual body parts? Voiced by [...]

Kottke’s got a great post on the imitating capacity of the lyrebird: The amazing lyrebird can mimic anything. Here’s David Attenborough blowing our minds describing what this bird can do. It’s quite amazing. The second video is, well, a remix and it made me laugh hard enough so that I had to post this link. [...]

This video pretty much sums up social networking for me. And, I’m not sure if these are made up or real but they made me laugh pretty hard last night: Do you have a Facebook? More here.

A new Facebook app is coming out that will remind users exactly what they were doing a year ago from that day. Nine times out of 10, the answer will be ‘wasting your time on Facebook.’ – Conan O’Brien Had to post this, it’s so right on the money. [via Political Irony]

Colbert Report: Is it art? This is a fantastic piece with Colbert at his best. Colbert attempts to convince Steve Martin (a noted art collector) that a portrait of Colbert is “art.” In the process, he pulls out Frank Stella, Shepard Fairey, and Andres Serrano to help them figure it out. Hilarious. [via On Point]

Four twenty somethings sitting in a diner talking about the movie Back to the Future. Amazingly, this movie holds up to this day because it’s a comedy and that gives it license to do whatever the story needs, even if that means Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) fogging illogical situations with a bunch of scientific sounding [...]

He’s a Train Wreck behind the wheel Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez documents getting ripped on weed for the LAPD to see how it affects driving. It’s a fun column but this stuff is serious business out here in California where legalizing pot is on the ballot.

New Sketch of a Madcap’s Mad Life Wow, what a life story for a person who many of us followed in Mad but never knew much about. I grew up reading Mad Magazine and loved every bit of it. Al Jaffee did many features including the famous Fold-Ins which were the back covers of many [...]
