Today's Mighty Oak


Couple quick things for everyone, more coming later.

First up, the definitive explanation of The Crown:

Hot on the heels of The Super Bowl, and really any professional sporting event:

We knew he was coming back, and here it is.  I think the fondu (which for the life of me, and spell check, I can’t write out correctly) was a nice touch:

This bottle sounds amazing, but I don’t really need any more, but maybe a reader is in the market.  Also, if you don’t read UpaDowna, it’s a fun site!

Again, Bill O’Reilly is a moron.  I can’t stress this enough.  Check out the background here, a bunch of fun photos here, including my favorite:

Did you know that The Pope can’t donate his organs?  Because that’s helpful.  Can we stop calling Catholics pro-life soon?

This looks amazing, and I kind of want to do it:

Rachel Maddow has a great post about what to do with the empty House chamber, since you know, they aren’t doing much.

If you’ve read Blink (I need to) or Tipping Point (I have), check out the Malcolm Gladwell book generator.

Check out this awesome map of good beer.  Also, poor Idaho!

And finally, my buddy Ken sent this to me, one of these days, I’ll finish Infinite Jest (after starting it probably 20 or so times).  It’s really my white whale.



Quick update for everyone.  First up, the Last Supper…from Star Wars nerds?

I’m taking away points for not having blue milk on the table.

And speaking of Star Wars, watch this awesome VW commercial:

Morgan Spurlock is trying to reimagine Times Square with no ads.  But really, it’s a lot of work.  But I imagine some of the touched up images will become ads themselves with creative use of the textures.

I am, also really excited about this game:

And speaking of awesome video games, I am so incredibly excited that this is coming out in five days (I had no idea!):

You Don’t Know Jack – Game Trailer from You Don't Know Jack on Vimeo

 

Google has a new project that uses a Street View type interface, but instead, goes through art galleries.  I’ll be checking it out later.

First he didn’t understand how the tides work, now he’s confused about the moon.  More proof (like we needed any) that Bill O’Reilly is a fucking retard.  And I use that phrase out of respect to Stephen Corbert’s wishes.  One of the people in the comments hit it spot on though:

The difference between O’Reilley and a scientist is, the scientist says, “I don’t know, let’s find out.” and O’Reilley says, “I don’t know, therefore God must have done it.”

Interesting article showing how meditation may change your brain.

And finally, don’t forget, Black and Yellow also applies to the Pens (when I find it, I’ll be posting the awesome goalie fight from last night):
