Today's Mighty Oak


Been a while, and I have a lot to share, so let’s get going.  First up, this has been floating around, and it’s been overdone, but this time, it’s at my alma mater:

Fun fact, the Steelers are the only football team to have a training camp day for those with special needs.  Shame on all the other teams!

After years of waiting, and hunting for a copy that wouldn’t put me in the poor house, The 50 Year Sword is being reprinted in America and the cover was just revealed in io9:

I’m really hoping that Yinztagram comes to Android.  I would totally add Rick Sebak to just about every picture ever.

Here are some awe-inspiring (in a bad way) of the interior of Monsour Medical Building, which I pass all the time going to SVC.

This is amusing:

An artist has used thousands of CDs to create amazing works of art.  Makes my coathanger and AOL CD suncatchers look like child’s play…since they were.

This is a really cool table, although I don’t know how much it costs, but I’m guessing it’s really expensive.

Also amusing:

Act Classy took the ruined Jesus Fresco and showed his whole life.  Funny, because all we can do is laugh about the situation.

Click here to listen to the sound of a star dying.  Seriously.

A great riff on Warhol’s famous quote:

I’ve always loved utensil-less cooking while camping, this looks really awesome.  It’s totally for breakfast.

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



All kinds of fun things going on, so let me geek out for just a bit here.

Season three of The Guild premiered today:

 

I’ve never been a huge fan of Twitter, although I can concede that it has its uses.  However, I do like the idea behind Woofer.  Where your messages have a 1,400 character minimum.  Hehehe.

What do you do if you want to buy a video game (which is smashing all kinds of sales records), but the creator/writer is a bigot?  Well, you talk about it, then decide if that $20 will really make a difference.  Make sure to read the comments too, a good discussion of free speech and how it pertains was going on.

Construction has begun on The Shard, a new skyscraper in London:

It is an artists rendering, so it should, but it just reminds me of some sort of concept art for some huge budget movie.

 

And now that September is finally upon us, that means….it’s almost time for Hockey season again!  Oh yeah, and football.  Either way, check out this fairly good (if not overly-dramatic) movie.

That’s it for now, catch everyone later!
