Let me play in these pixelart scenes ⊟
It’s the least you can do for not letting me live in them. I love the tiny details in these scenes that make them come alive, like the light filtering through the fan, the train’s swinging straps, or the two-pixel fish swimming in the coffee shop’s aquarium (shouldn’t the C on the door be backwards?). These animations all come from 1041uuu — follow his Tumblr here.

The Giant Birdsnest is exactly that. Except it’s not made from twigs and it’s definitely not for the birds. The gigantic, cozy nest is made from a foam-padded wooden backwall that’s covered with wooden panels and filled with egg-shaped cushions that allow for ergonomic sitting positions. Designed by the Israel-based design firm OGE Creative Group, the Birdsnest is a “new and inspiring socializing space: a fusion of furniture and playground” where ideas come to get incubated.
It’s a multifunctional piece of furniture that can be used for resting, browsing the web, reading, talking and doing almost anything. It comes in 4 different sizes (ranging from 2,700 – 7,900 Euros) and, at its largest, can accommodate up to 16 people at a time. We want all our future meetings to be held in the Birdsnest!

CNN always puts extra effort into its coverage for Election Day, but last night the network eschewed technological wizardry such as holograms and went with a relatively sedate visual: a wall of 24 correspondents reporting from cities and candidate headquarters around the country.
Luckily for us, that still worked perfectly as fodder for the internet parody machine. CollegeHumor's Dan Hopper turned CNN's video board into a character select screen straight out of a Mortal Kombat game, complete with three spaces for unlockable fighters. Our money's on Soledad O'Brien, who's now covering topics such as eSports for HBO's Real Sports.
Wow. CNN really going all-out: pic.twitter.com/Gvr3HaccmH

What's your favorite version of Windows? Windows 8? Vista? 3.1? No. Your new favorite is obviously Windows 93, which never existed but has somehow arisen out of the deepest, darkest pit of the Internet. After the inexplicable PS1 bootup audio lets you know you've logged in, you'll find yourself in a twisted parallel version of Windows 95 that's seen our future and now hates it — and us. Some of what you'll click is fun, like the fully functional Cat Explorer. Others, like Poney Jockey, claim to open the gates of hell. Which mostly seems like an idle threat, but you never know. To quote a colleague, "This is like the operating system for the Ninth Gate." This is almost clearly an art project, but it's so much more. Dive in if you dare....
Stop what you're doing. Turn off whatever it is you're listening to. Geordi La Forge himself is on the internet reading Adam Mansbach's Go the F**k to Sleep and it is everything you could possibly hope for.
Levar Burton, who's already great at playing comedic versions of himself when he's not relaunching Reading Rainbow, did the reading for Rooster Teeth's Extra Life charity campaign, which helps raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals for medical research. This is clearly his gift to fans and supporters. We're all fans of Samuel L. Jackson, but we have to say this is pretty transcendent.
It was only a matter of time. We're a week out from Halloween, and between the Ray Rice costumes, the Adrian Peterson costume, and this sexy ebola containment suit, Halloween 2014 is shaping up to be the worst ever.
A few months ago I was trying to think of a way I could re-imagine the characters from my favorite Nintendo series. The Bros Mario Noir is a series that takes the characters from the colorful world of Super Mario Bros and throws them into a dark, gritty world inspired by classic film noir movies.

With all the hype surrounding El-P and Killer Mike’s second album under the Run The Jewels moniker, it’s only fitting the duo would bring all that pre-release excitement to a head by just dropping it early for free. Serving as the follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed Run The Jewels, the album features another batch of collaborators—Rage Against The Machine’s Zack De La Rocha, Blink-182’s Travis Barker—to bolster the duo’s affable, glitchy hip-hop. The physical release won’t out be until next week via Mass Appeal, and El-P has only just begun interviewing cats for the Meow The Jewels remix album, which has artists like Zola Jesus, Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, the Alchemist, and many more slated to contribute tracks. But in the meantime, Run The Jewels 2 can be yours immediately—either in the direct link provided by El-P, or on ...
for nepalese hindus, today is kukur puja, the second day of the five day tihar festival, nepal’s version of diwali. literally meaning “worship of dogs,” kukur puja is dedicated to honouring our special relationship with dogs, who are adorned in vermillion and garlands of marigold. photos by (click pic) narendra shrestha, niranjan shrestha, navesh chitrakar, prakash mathema in kathmandu.
I wonder what these dogs think is happening.
Located in a park near the center of Lede, Belgium, the Castle of Mesen dates back to the 17th century where it served as a home for various lords before a conversion to an industrial site. Throughout the 1800s the complex was used as a gin distillery, a tobacco factory, and a sugar refinery. In 1897 the castle was then sold to a religious order who constructed an impressive neo-gothic chapel and turned the entire facility into a boarding school.
Although it was still in use up until the 1960s, a tragic storm of abandonment, looting, and a failed attempt to designate the castle as a monument lead to a decision to demolish of the entire castle just a few years ago. Lucky for us, photographer Jan Stel of Past Glory managed to sneak inside and capture a few amazing shots before it disappears forever. The juxtaposition of the stained glass windows and decaying roof and sprawling foliage is especially striking. See more from this series here. (via Arch Atlas)
Hikers exploring England’s Derbyshire Peak District earlier this week stumbled onto a rare phenomenon caused by extreme winds. The River Downfall, a 30-meter (98 foot) waterfall was blown back almost vertically by a powerful updraft, making it seem as if the waterfall was simply flowing into nothing. Very cool.
