Lou Donaldson and Lonnie Smith: Cherokee
Aug 19, 1:00AM
I saw Lou Donaldson play the other night. Which is crazy, because Lou Donaldson is 86. But he's still the man. He was joking around and calling out charts. And though his range is kind of impaired at this point, he was using the limitations to be more creative with what he did have. And at the end of the set he busted out some low range that he had been saving.

A Cast That Makes You A Little Bit Iron Man Is Awesome
Aug 18, 11:47PM
If you're wearing a cast, something bad probably happened. You may feel crappy about it or frustrated or some other dark feeling, but you tell yourself it isn't unbelievably itchy and just try to ignore it. Or. You draw an Iron Man arm on it and then you are a bamf anytime you do anything. Caligineus posted a friend's handy work earlier today. Hopefully it's drawn in permanent marker, though casts like that aren't supposed to get wet anyway. The real question is where is Colbert when you need him? Someone get this woman a WristStrong.

Collisions happen on different scales. Particles collide. Squirrels accidentally run into each other. Rams butt heads. Tectonic plates shift against each other. There's a lot going on. But in this photo a dwarf galaxy and spiral galaxy are smooshing into each other. And galaxies are kind of huge.

Khalil, a Palestinian white hat hacker, submitted bug reports to Facebook about a vulnerability that allowed him to post on anyone's wall. But Facebook's security team didn't do anything. So Khalil wrote on Mark Zuckerberg's wall about it and was generally a badass.

Missing The Beautiful Perseid Meteor Shower Was Dumb Of You
Aug 18, 8:25PM
Look there were a lot of options. NASA streamed the shower with commentary, local astronomer associations were posting pictures, and there's always . . . what's that place? Oh right. Outside. You could have gone and watched. But no. It was a Saturday night and you were busy.

Here's What Everything Ever Is Made Of
Aug 18, 7:09PM
We've all heard that we're made of the same stuff as stars so it probably doesn't seem as mind blowing as it used to. But it really is amazing. Science! This infographic from Visually shades the periodic table to show which elements are presents in the ocean, a person, the atmosphere and more. It also acts as a good reminder that not all elements are naturally occurring in the universe. And for the breakdown of humans, the percentage of each element is averaged between men and women. This is pretty much the universe summed up in one place. Though Frost did it in three words. [Mining]

How Do You Back Up Your Data These Days?
Aug 18, 6:00PM
When I joined Gmail in 2007 the concept of eliminating deleter's regret changed how I managed all of my data. I went from keeping important things and purging everything else to implementing archive mentality in my whole life. Now I only think twice about keeping huge photo dumps or files larger than about 500MB. Other than that I save everything.

Aug 17, 11:00PM
Sometimes when you need a Terminator, a crazy puppet backpack will do. Sometimes, you've just gotta go a little further. And when it came to Terminator 3, the effects team took the second option and basically built actually Terminators. Almost.

A Beautiful Analog Clock for Dummies Who Are Bad at Telling Time
Aug 17, 4:00PM
I have a confession to make, and I'm sure I'm not alone: I'm really bad at reading analog clocks. I learned how to when I was a kid, and I even wear an analog watch today, but some 15 years of digital crutches in between has made reading old-school clocks kind of a drag. You too? Well here's a clock for the both of us.
