Artist David Jablow took these cheesy notepad and created over 30 great illustrations from it. He's selling a book of them, and you can see 15 examples at Twisted Sifter.

Une chouette série d'images, réalisées par Khoa Ho, sur les super héros maintenant et avant :-)

Un peu dans le même genre que le poster sur les sneakers, Cars and films propose des posters, réalisés par Jesús Prudencio, sur les bagnoles du cinoche.

Peter Clark is an epically-talented collage artist who focuses much of his expertise on creating dog collage portraits. The workmanship evidenced in his pieces completely blows me away. Peter uses an extensive collection of found papers as his palette “which are colored, patterned or textured by their printed, written, or worn surfaces.” He uses this found media to “paint” his collages. And the results are completely stunning!

Though they are set in the most disparate universes possible, Mad Men and Game of Thrones have one major thing in common: Their marriages are terrible. There is no fate worse than being one half of a married couple on one of these shows. But in which show is it worse to be married?  We went through both shows, looked through their main marriages, and tried to calculate exactly how awful it's portrayed by assigning points for awfulness. There are a lot of similarities between the two – both have tons of infidelity, couples getting married for the wrong reasons, and closeted gay men – but only one can be Sunday's best advocate for non-monogamy. 

Case for Game of Thrones

*Cersei and Robert Baratheon
- Robert only agreed to marry a teenage Cersei to win her father's allegiance in overthrowing the sitting king.  +1
- Cersei never loved Robert, instead preferring (and continuing to sleep with) her twin brother. +2
- Robert frequently and publicly cheats on Cersei, fathering many children. +3
- Cersei gets pregnant by her brother, and passes the child of as Robert's. +3
- She finally drugs Robert, so he gets mortally wounded when hunting. Marriage over. +5

*Eddard and Catelyn Stark
- They only got married because the man Catelyn was supposed to marry, Ned's older brother Brandon, was killed. +1
- They seem to genuinely like each other... -3
- ...but we barely see them together because very soon into the first season, Ned leaves his kingdom to serve as the hand of the king. +1
- Years ago, Ned was unfaithful, producing a child, Jon Snow. Catelyn is a real jerk to Jon Snow. +2

* Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo
- Daenerys' brother forces her to marry the barbaric Khal Drogo, because in exchange he will get to use the Dothraki army to reclaim the iron throne.  +2
- Drogo kind of rapes her at the beginning of the marriage. +4
- Hey, things are turning around! Daenerys teaches Drogo true love, as evidenced by his embrace of the missionary position. -3
- But because he's gone all mushy, some of Drogo's men lose faith in him, and one gives him a mortal wound. That's what true love gets you here. +4
- To further underscore that no good can come from love, Daenerys tries to bring her beloved back to life, but it ends up just being torture for him. +3

*Tyrion and Sansa Lannister
- Not just an arranged marriage, but also an out-and-out punishment for both. +2
- This is just another in a terrible history with marriage for both of them. Tyrion's first wife was a prostitute that Jaime hired to make Tyrion happy. When their father learned of this, he forced Tyrion to watch her have sex with multiple guards. Sansa was engaged to Joffrey, and that's just worse. +2
- Tyrion has a loving, committed relationship with Shae, Sansa's maiden, which means infidelity is 100-percent inevitable. +2

*Robb and Talisa Stark
- Finally, a marriage born of love! -5
- But to marry Talisa, Robb breaks a promise he made to Walder Frey to marry one of his daughters, which leads to the Red Wedding. Stabby stabby.  +8

*Renly and Margaery Baratheon
- Another arranged marriage, this time designed to unite house Tyrell with Renly's supporters. +1
- Margaery accepts her duty in life is to be married off for political gain. All she needs to do is produce a child. -1
- There's a bit of a roadblock, however, as the marriage is never consummated because Renly is gay. He tried initiating anal once, but that probably wouldn't have resulted in a child, even if she agreed. +1
- Renly cheats on Margaery with her brother Loras. +1
- Margaery, hoping to have a child, offers to invite Loras into the bedroom. It's equal parts logical and depressing, since she sees herself as a glorified prince incubator. Renly dies before this can happen. +2

*Other:
- Joffrey hasn't technically married anyone yet, but he's sure been a real Groomzilla. +2
- Remember when wedding episodes were big-event television? That's also the case with Game of Thrones but for super opposite reasons. +4

Case for Mad Men

*Don and Betty Draper
- It seems like at some point they loved each other... -3
- He cheated on her constantly. Seriously. Constantly. It's like the one thing non-fans know about the show +3
- She cheated on him with someone that looks like a younger him, which just made it creepier (and probably symbolic). +1
- Besides lying about all the cheating, Don lied about being Don. Their entire marriage operated in this lie. +2
- They get divorced. Betty is so amped to do so, she leaves two of her kids with the babysitter as she goes off to Reno to make it happen.+3

*Don and Megan Draper
- For about a year (aka one television season) they are happily married. -1
- And then poof, they're not. He goes back to his cheating ways. +3
- If cheating isn't bad enough, when he is with her, he isn't supportive of her dream to be an actress, and resents her for leaving advertising. +2
- When his affair is called off (not by him), he pays lip service to wanting to make his marriage work again. -1
- He goes off on an L.A. work trip, and attempts to try this one while staying faithful. -1
- He makes out with a woman while high, though it's possible this was a hallucination. Call that a wash. 0

*Pete and Trudy Campbell
- They get married without knowing each other very well. It's their era's version of an arranged marriage, one built on social expectations of the upper class. +1
- He cheats on her, first with Peggy. He then basically rapes an au pair, and Trudy probably knows but turns a blind eye. +3
- The Peggy hook-up results in a child that Trudy never knows about. It particular tough considering how much Trudy wants a baby. +1
- He continues to cheat on her, and Trudy largely turns a blind eye because if he keeps climbing the corporate ladder, whatever it takes is fine ... +1
- Within reason. The insult of him sleeping with a neighbor and then being caught at a whorehouse by his father-in-law is two boinks too far. She orders him out of the house. +2

*Joan and Greg Harris
- She married him despite that fact that he raped her while they were dating. +4
- That was just how much she just wanted a shot at propriety. +1
- That was thrown out the window as he enlists. It becomes clear Greg likes the Vietnam War more than her. +1
- Joan cheats on him with Roger ... +2
- ... which results in a son that she leads Greg to believe is his. +1
- He secretly reenlists, leaving her to be a single mother, so she divorces him. +2

*Roger and Mona Sterling/Roger and Jane Sterling
- We're lumping these together, because though he seemed to like each fine, it's always just about Roger. +1
- He cheated on both pretty frequently and he didn't even seem to feel bad about it. +2
- He had a child with Joan while married. +1
- He divorced Mona to marry Jane, after having an affair with her. +3
- He is currently separated from Jane. +2

*Sal and Kitty Romano
- They seem to actually like each other as people! -2
- One problem: Sal is gay. +2
- Sal cheats on her with men, because he is gay. +2
- Kitty's willful denial of Sal's homosexuality is no match for seeing him act out the Patio Cola commercial. It dawns on her that this marriage is a sham, and she's stuck with it. +3 

*Other
- There have obviously been more marriages (Harry and Jennifer Crane, Lane and Rebecca Price, Betty and Henry Francis, Ted and Nan Chaough, etc.) and they all feature infidelity. (Ted's cheating was just a kiss to Peggy, but had she been ready to take the leap, he would likely have gone further.) Then add in the many women Don sleeps with (Sylvia Rosen, Bobbie Barrett). Basically, if someone has a spouse who is alive, they're either being cheated on by him/her, cheating on him/her, or both. +3
- Sure, the show didn't have a wedding in which everyone on the groom's side was brutally murdered, but don't forget that the show's one big wedding episode was interrupted by the Kennedy assassination.  +2 

Verdict
By a very close margin, 44 to 45, the winner is Mad Men! Sure, a bad Game of Thrones marriage ends in death, but we argue that the characters on Mad Men would probably choose death over having to staying with their spouses (Lane did choose this). Also, the Mad Men folks live in fairly modern times and, frankly, they should know better. Yet every single character gets married for shallow, selfish reasons and not surprisingly it ends terribly. Mad Men slowly wants to prove that happiness is just the moment before you need more happiness, and marriage is a good way to get a powerful hit of joy, but hardly a satisfyingly long-term fix.

Another installment of Adam Scott's The Greatest Event in Television History aired on Adult Swim last night (watch it here), providing us with the delicious midnight snack we didn't even know we needed: a completely unnecessary remake of the opening credits of the 1979–84 series Hart to Hart. Did Scott and Amy Poehler (and don't forget about Horatio Sanz!) stick the landing? You be the judge.

Last night on Conan, Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin gleefully suffered through the TV series' viewer reactions to the "Red Wedding" episode. Like the proud nerd that he is, Martin chuckled at all the belated shock of his non-reader viewers. Plus: David Letterman made fun of Johnny Galecki's Joaquin Phoenix/Muppet junkie look; and bad luck had Glenn Close pied in the face not once but twice. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

No one's ever really gone in the Sterling Cooper universe. Season one beatnik mistress Midge popped back up in season four, teaching us all a valuable lesson about the costs of heroin abuse. Duck Phillips was very present in seasons two and three, sort of faded out, and suddenly reappeared this season. Freddy Rumsen reemerged after a years-long absence. Paul Kinsey vanished and then reappeared as a Hare Krishna, with poor, dopey Harry along for part of the ride. Glen Bishop is never far from Sally's heart. Even the marginal Danny showed up again this week, and he was only on four episodes. All of this points to one question that hangs over the final three episodes of this season: Where is Sal?

Can Sal come back, please? We haven't seen him since season three's "Wee Small Hours," when Lucky Strike's Lee Garner Jr. came on to Sal, a panicked Sal balked, and Garner got vindictive and demanded his termination. But Sal was so great! Remember this scene, where his sad wife Kitty (Sarah Drew, now weeping it up on Grey's Anatomy) suddenly realizes her husband is gay?

In early seasons, Sal's closeted-ness helped amplify the themes Don embodied: That many of us live lies, that people see what they want to see, that the lens of today is different than that of yesteryear. And that sort of ran its course. But now that Don has scootched his way toward sociopath, there are themes the show's exploring through other characters that Sal's reappearance could help deepen. With Peggy, it's whether we can really be who we want to be. With Roger, it's the ways in which we overestimate other people's personal agency. And with Megan, it's a question of whether you really, truly, actually love anyone. All of those are Sal-adjacent ideas!

Hear my plea, Mad Men. Bring back Sal. Though I'd settle for Dr. Faye.

Si Jerry Seinfeld se propuso hacer un programa “sobre nada”, digamos sobre la vida cotidiana, Hebe Uhart retoma el guante desde nuestras costas y nos entrega un puñado de textos breves sobre el día a día, teñidos de anécdotas y pequeñas reflexiones, que van desde la lucha imposible por dejar de fumar hasta la deriva de un día en la peluquería, que es el relato que aquí presentamos.

Cross-posted from the Google Drive blog

Life gets a bit easier when your Google products work well together—whether that’s inserting a Drive file into an email or sharing a photo from Drive on Google+. As this experience becomes more seamless, separate storage doesn’t make as much sense anymore. So instead of having 10 GB for Gmail and another 5 GB for Drive and Google+ Photos, you’ll now get 15 GB of unified storage for free to use as you like between Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos.

With this new combined storage space, you won’t have to worry about how much you’re storing and where. For example, maybe you’re a heavy Gmail user but light on photos, or perhaps you were bumping up against your Drive storage limit but were only using 2 GB in Gmail. Now it doesn’t matter, because you can use your storage the way you want.

We’ll also be making updates to the Google Drive storage page, so you can better understand how you’re using storage space. Simply hover over the pie chart to see a breakdown of your storage use across Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos. And if you need more storage, this is your place to upgrade, with plans starting at $4.99/month for 100 GB.

Pro tip: This change means you’re no longer limited to a 25 GB upgrade in Gmail—any additional storage you purchase now applies there, too.

These changes to Google Drive storage will roll out over the next couple of weeks. Google Apps users will also be getting shared storage, so visit the enterprise blog to learn more.

Drop-front desks, also called fall-front desks, make a lot of sense in small spaces; you don’t always want to look at your work, and they take up less space than a conventional desk.

I'd be (pleasantly) amazed if the actual play in Boris Karloff's Monster Game was anything but tedious, but LOOK AT THOSE GAME TOKENS. DANG.

Boris Karloff's Monster Game

The sixth season of Mad Men, when this piece originally ran, began with Roger Sterling facing the deaths of two of his loved ones: his mother and his shoe-shine man. The normally blithe executive showed some surprising introspection (and even broke down crying), but even in a state of ennui he still was able to do what we've counted on him doing for the previous five seasons: dole out some stellar quips. The first half of season seven ended with the death of his partner and mentor Bert Cooper. Even then he had a piece of off-the-cuff gold — "I should’ve known it was near the end. Every time an old man starts talking about Napoleon, you know they’re going to die.”

Between seasons four and five, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner anthologized many of Roger Sterling's best lines in a book, Sterling's Gold. Named after Roger’s ill-fated memoir, Sterling's Gold was full of Roger’s pithy, nihilist bile, but it left plenty of cutting quips on the cutting-room floor. It also predated season five, thus now excluding several seasons worth of Roger's wit (including his boxing color-commentary on Pete and Lane’s vanilla thrilla: “I know cooler heads should prevail, but am I the only one who wants to see this?"). So, in the interest of posterity, Vulture has compiled the authoritative canon. If Sterling's Gold was Roger's Selected Poems, think of this as the Complete Works — a kind of Roger’s Thesaurus. Now that the doors of Roger's perception have been blown wide open by LSD, there’s no telling what wisdom he’ll spout for the rest of season six, so check back for more updates soon.

Season One

"An ad man who doesn't like to talk about himself? I think I may cry." (season one, episode two)

"Psychiatry is just this year's candy-pink stove." (S1, E2)

"I think it behooves any man to toss all female troubles into the hands of a stranger." (S1, E2)

Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan has been talking about a potential Better Call Saul spinoff for a while, but it never seemed like a serious possibility. Until now!

Gilligan and BB writer-producer Peter Gould are hashing out details, and reportedly a half-hour comedy version is one of the options on the table. Yes, you read that right: It's possible the Saul spinoff will be a half-hour comedy. On the one hand, yay, a Bob Odenkirk weird comedy, and more Saul! It's like a reverse Lou Grant!
