Jul 30, 11:15PM
Earlier today, visitors to the Chicago Tribune's homepage were greeted not with traditional lead story or splash image. Instead, there was an adorable kitty, a placeholder headline, and the word test over and over again. While it was a welcome break from the the usual gloom and doom, it was also very clearly a mistake. One that Trib Social Media and SEO Manager Amy Guth was kind enough to dissect for us over email.

Why There's No 1960s Jetsons Art in Tomorrow's Big Animation Auction
Jul 30, 9:01PM
On Wednesday there's an enormous animation art auction in L.A. that includes some gorgeous pop culture history. It will include original animation cels from Fleischer Studios, concept art from Disney legend Mary Blair, and an original production drawing from Winsor McCay's classic 1914 film Gertie the Dinosaur. There's even some 1970s and 1980s Jetsons art that should pique the interest of any retrofuture fan. But there's one thing noticeably absent among the Jetsons pieces: any production cels from the 1962-63 iteration of the show—which was its first and only season until the 1985 reboot. But how can that be?

And thank god it does—otherwise we might never have had the wonderful, life-affirming pleasure of looking upon this tiny-hat-wearing puppy atop a magic carpet.

Jul 30, 8:19PM
Amazon just released a new update to its Kindle app for iOS, and it basically just told Apple to go f*** itself in the process.

Here's How Designers Reimagined the Cover Art For 50 Classic Novels

Classic novels tend to have equally classic cover art. For example, when you think of The Great Gatsby, your mind likely goes to a pair of half-closed eyes floating over a glittering, cobalt city.

Making a Stunning, Glow-in-the-Dark Fountain Is Surprisingly Simple
Jul 30, 7:00PM
Bioluminescence is awesome. Essentially the production of light by a living organism, e.g. fireflies, certain types of jellyfish, etc—but it doesn't just occur in animals. There's even some plant life that has the potential to give off that lovely, ethereal glow. And as Mark Rober shows us in the video above, you can even harness that power to become your very own natural, eerie, and totally beautiful light source.
