jayprickett: [via: milhouse]  This artist, Brandon Bird, gave a talk on campus last semester.  He does large oil paintings of celebrities in hilarious/random situations.  He’s as silly and geeky as you’d probably imagine.  Don’t miss his website, which features images of some of the massive oil paintings he creates, as well as my favorite: Letters to Walken.  I’m also rather fond of “Signifier...

Hot for Teacher: 18 Sexiest Sex Offenders →
It has to be said: female school teachers are the new male Catholic priests. Sexual offenses committed by female teachers is at its peak, much like the libidos of the accused. While male teachers are (rightfully) lambasted for their sexual misconduct, women seem to get off much easier - literally and figuratively. And why, you ask? The answer is simple: older woman seducing younger men is part...

One computer even had a Wi-Fi card installed, enabling our agent to surf the web. Enjoy the videos first and then go behind the scenes with our photo report below.

Filed under: North America, United States, Internet Tools, News No, I don’t actually mean flight delays although those are inevitable this weekend. Better avoid any place east of the Mississippi.

And that person is the one who made this song using random sounds from OS X. Only cool part to me is that one note that sounds like the beginning of “Trampled Under Foot” by Led Zeppelin. Rock on, dude with way too much free time on your hands.

MacRumors has uncovered a intriguing patent application from Apple describing some of their possible planned multi-touch interface additions to OS X. Combinations include four finger taps to reveal Exposé, thumb-and-finger combinations, and even a way to recognize the pinky at the bottom of a fist for some sort of club-handed command. (I’m guessing why-you-little-Ctrl-Z.) Whether or not...

The traditional way to know what color the Empire State Building is to look at the building’s website. But plain text can be lacking, which is where What Color is the Empire State Building comes in. Corey Johnson designed the site, using color and event information from the Empire State Building and overlaying it on an image of the building - there’s even a widget. For the recent past...

We told you we’d be keeping a closer eye on the architectural stylings of Dubai, and damn it, we meant it! In this great city of ours, visionary ideas often run into roadblocks: zoning, preservationists, the laws of gravity and physics, etc. In Dubai, none of this matters of course, so our great minds are making the trip to see their wacky ideas come to fruition. Like, for example, NYC...

60 Minutes went on to a field trip to the US Mint and found out that to make $80 million worth of pennies, it costs the government $134 million. And to make around $60 million in nickles costs $124 million. The US Mint says this is because the prices for nickle, zinc, and copper have shot up a lot in the past few years. Guess it’s time to start making ‘em out of plastic. Transcript,...
