Movies exist in their own world, with their own rules, with the characters having their own relationships. And though we may know every one of those characters, they might not all be connected together. These visualizations show how characters connect with each other in a beautiful constellation. You can almost gauge a movie by how its characters connect.

As we stand on the precipice of the shutdown of Google Reader the search for replacement RSS clients is more frantic than ever, and now Digg has opened access to its app for any users interested. Currently available on the web and as an iOS app (Android coming soon), importing ones Google account is just a few mouse clicks away. The experience as it exists now is pretty barebones, and Digg says it plans to add a “View unread items only” option, “Mark as unread” button and the always crucial “accurate” unread counts for feeds and folders in the near future. Hit the source link below to give it a shot, and then let us know if it’s a contender for the throne.

The Fourth of July is a great day in the history of the United States of America. On this coming Thursday, July 4, we will celebrate the 237th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia in 1776 officially declared the independence of our country on July 2, when it approved a resolution by Virginia’s Richard Lee declaring that from that time on the United States would not be subject to England or to any other country. Two days later that the same congress approved the written statement, the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming to the nations of the world the reason for, and theories behind, our determination on being independent.
In that same year, 1776, John Adams declared that each year thereafter we as a country should celebrate our independence by using fireworks. We also celebrate the birthday of our country by doing such things as flying the American flag, listening to political speeches highlighted with patriotic phrases, and gathering in backyards for family cookouts and in parks for picnics.
I’m a patriotic United States citizen, and I like flying the flag, gathering for a family cookout or picnic, followed by attending a fireworks show. And for as long as I can remember my family has celebrated the Fourth of July in those ways. But this year I am going to add a new feature to my Fourth of July celebration. When I gather with my family to celebrate, I’m going to tell them about an experience I’ve had over the past week that makes me even prouder of being a United States citizen. Here’s what happened.

Combining the genius of Reggie Watts with the ridiculousness of Aziz Ansari can only mean good things. How good? A sweet serenade about eating sandwiches, tolerant veganism, muenster cheese and female attraction. Yeah, I know. I sing about those four exact things every day too.

Posted in: Today's ChiliPHOENIX — A blazing heat wave expected to send the mercury soaring to nearly 120 degrees in Phoenix and Las Vegas over the weekend settled across the West on Friday, threatening to ground airliners and raising fears that pets will get burned on the scalding pavement.
The heat was so punishing that rangers took up positions at trailheads at Lake Mead in Nevada to persuade people not to hike. Zookeepers in Phoenix hosed down the elephants and fed tigers frozen fish snacks. And tourists at California’s Death Valley took photos of the harsh landscape and a thermometer that read 121.
