Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, this amazing series of Post-It notes from a new father.

The Mars Rover Opportunity celebrates its 10 year anniversary!  Not bad, considering it was supposed to be a 90-day mission!

Putin wants to “cleanse Russia of homosexuality”  But he TOTALLY HAS GAY FRIENDS.

Harry Potter World is expanding, which means now I really have to go!

And finally, Lust for Love, which pretty much features the cast of Dollhouse, finally has a trailer:

That’s it for now, have a great one!

 



Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, Carbolic Smoke Ball hits it out of the park.

Guns and comic books, covered here by Gutters.

On “Gun Appreciation Day,” which, by the way, is horrid that it coincides with the MLK weekend, three different incidents of people being shot at gun shows.  But just be careful, the organization le pushing for this “appreciation day” are white supremicists.

A good piece on gun ownership, and how it scares me (I mean the author).  And in case you’re wondering about assault weapons, check out Australia.

The best creative confessions:

Deadspin wins the Internet on how to react to Donald Trump.  And gifs come in.

GOProud, the LGBT Republican organization has finally come out to support marriage equality.  You should reread that.  January 18, 2013.  They just not think that marriage equality is worth fighting for.  Anyway, GOProud is a laughable group, trying to trick people into thinking the GOP actually cares about citizens.  And now they’re outraged that they’ve become the laughing stock of the Internet.

Ancient riverbed discovered on Mars.  I just watched Star Talk on Nerdist where they talked about this!

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon, have a great one!



Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, an amazing story from the world of soccer.  Fans were shouting racial slurs at a player, so the entire time left the pitch.

This is an awesome job.  The benefits are pretty amazing:

A Swiss bank is closing after admitting it helps US citizens evade their taxes.

I think I linked to it before, but the House GOP killed the Violence Against Women Act because this year, it added three extra groups: immigrants, Native Americans and the LGBT community.  So yes, they can agree to protect women if they’re white and straight.  But otherwise, nope.

But this is really cute, our youngest Senator:

Scientists have made a model of what Mars may have looked like if it was more Earth-like, i.e. our climate, water coverage and ecosystems.

The sad state of communications:

I kind of hope Taco Bell pulls this off, the press they would get from it would be amazing.  I still have trouble believing an athlete eats that much Taco Bell though.

This is what it looks like when a polar bear wants to eat you:

So….the Pope denounced selfish capitalism:

Don’t forget that that throne is encrusted with jewels.

Okay, that’s it for now, have a great one everyone!



Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, check out Mars in 3-D (if you have the glasses)!

Amazing images of the crumbling mansions of drug lords:

This Advertising Life has a great post, that makes me laugh, every time I see it.

BuzzFeed shows you how to say goodbye to your coworkers.  By the way, I did not do this.

Awesome new iPhone app, it turns your phone into a light to make it safer to bike at night:

This is cool, a wall of animated blocks.

A fun concept mirror for graphic designers:

The Walkabout looks at the 6% experiment, pretty cool to read about.

If you read nothing else political today, read this very short story.  And learn who the real job creators are, and how to distract from that fact.

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon!



Alright, larger update now, let’s see what all we have.

First up, P!nk covers Queen:

Not that I’m getting married anytime soon, but this looks awesome, hope it comes to Android soon, I so would have done this for my brother’s wedding!

In honor of the Olympics:

Here’s an awesome game, see if you can name the movie character from their famous wardrobe.  I only got one correct.

The answer is no.  I would not swim in this pool:

Awesome, (but confusing to view on a screen as opposed to a printed form) flowchart of alcohol.

Oreo has been doing some awesome ads, this one is no exception:

Pretty neat looking, and cheap, way to build a shelf.

This is just amazing, Edison’s Cradle:

And lastly from ManMadeDIY, a new bicycle that is built of mostly cardboard and very cheap.  Could be a gamechanger in developing nations.

Ceiling Cat is real!  See the proof:

This is what happens when toys get technology.  Lots of fun.

The Tetris light, I’d spend way too much time playing with these each morning:

Holy crap, we’re on Mars!  No seriously, we’re on Mars!

That’s it for now, have a great one!
