Dunno about Escher, it reminds me more of Miro's loopy, chaotic style. Like this....

I'm not sure life without strawberry/graham cracker/cheesecake ice cream in a waffle cone is worth living. Goodbye, cruel Mix-free world!...

Indeed. And it's awesomeness extends to the fact that this comes from a classic cognitive attention experiment on "inattentional blindness." ...

This happens every year, I call it the February Sucker Punch. Just when you think you're gonna survive, wham, another two months of shitty weather....

Just got back from watching the movie. Bilco, for the love of the ski gods, please go see Steep, and then you will see how ridiculously ironic it is for you to suggest that what I said about ski porn ...

I see your point Seth (and still haven't read Pinker's new book, dammit!). I still believe, however, that Bush et al looked for the information they wanted to support their case, when there was confli...

Er, Seth, let's say you're dating someone and start to suspect she's cheating on you. You ask her point blank, she says she isn't and you believe her. But later you find out definitively she was cheat...

Hailing from Salt Lake, we always sniggered when people referred to Denver as some form of high-mountain standard. But, it also means I must debate your statement about not being able to see two mount...

Yep. There's some serious cliffbands you need to negotiate (around, not over thank you), steep chutes and a higher risk of ending up in a tree well full of deep snow. It's the quintessential "always s...

Two more things: 1. If you have a PLUS S-Pass from Snoqualmie, you're blacked out on your free 5 Crystal tickets this weekend. 2. Should you have the skill level, just make your way over to the new ...

Paper cups would be no better. I'm with Troy. Take 'em all out, and make the poor saps who don't bring their own cups drink out of their hands....

Ah jld, I knew someone would bring this one up. That Make post discusses the energy to *create* the ceramic vs. polystyrene cups. But you see, I use my mug that I brought from home (which I'd already ...

About 15 minutes ago, I looked up from my computer to see our local park's resident seagulls out for a swim. But there's no pool or lake in our park--our park has flooded enough to become it's own lit...

It's more likely an uprising amongst Nordstroms employees that is the cause for this. I worked for them in college during the summers to make extra cash, and after just a few days of hearing songs fro...

He had me at "the whole thing runs on magnets."...

sweet jesus i just closed a tab with that loaded in it (thanks to The Morning News), and here it was taunting me again. get out of my head, seth....

@ snowfan: i think that is still going on, thanks for mentioning it (we used to get tix there). hunting around it looks like they're going for $63-65 this year, which means that if you know you'll spe...

Am I the only one here who wants to know how the fuck you forgot you had a WHOLE GALLON OF BEER IN YOUR CAR? Seriously, I would not have been able to go to sleep that night because eventually I would ...

I’m addicted to Layer Tennis, it’s my new reality TV replacement. I have to go get my hair cut at lunch today, and when I remembered this morning, I thought “Nooooooo! Right in the middle of Layer Ten...

@6: Well i never said I agreed with the man (my background is in Neuroscience which is probably still too "social science" for Watson as well), but I'd rather see a good old-fashioned take-down of his...
