When I was a kid, I wasted nearly 97.9% of my allowance on basketball cards. It was awesome. Now I don’t even know where they are. So if I could do it all over again, I’d much rather collect these scientist trading cards. It’s the coolest nerdiest thing ever. More »

There are so many ways to make your day to day existence better, and we could all use a little lifehack now and again.

Here’s an Apple Maps parody that’s absolutely hilarious: what if Batman used Apple Maps in The Dark Knight to find Rachel Dawes? Yeah, that wouldn’t have been good. Siri would have sent Batman down wrong turns, parking lots and malls just to see everything get blown up. More »

I was cracking up at the joke you made in the caption (“Looks like we’re eating outside AGAIN. Oh, well…”) under the snapshot of the gorgeous lobsters. The potatoes looked amazing fading off into the blur of a shallow focal range that ends at the saturated greens and yellows of herbs, and cornbread, and lemon garnish on the left just below where the sunset creates the lens flare that bounces off your icy bottle of beer. You must’ve literally JUST pulled that cold one from the tub or cooler I see there on the right next to your, hello, preternaturally attractive mate (unthinkable that they’re whiling away weekdays toiling over files and phone calls in a room someplace like the rest of us rubes.
