Re: C5: Also hosting (at the Behind-the-Scenes Stage) is Internet Rockstar Pablo Hidalgo and LucasArts’ David Collins (on the Digital Stage.) Alas, this crushes my secret hope for a Pablo-staffed continuity-counseling booth (mockup at right) but it is more likely to keep him from running like a madman into the night. -duncatra, via Club Jade.
And as long as we're on the subject, why does Triangle Man hate so many people, and start so many fights? Triangle Man is kind of a dick. -Wil Wheaton, via Twitter
A couple of days ago when my math teacher asked, "Any questions?" I asked, "What is the meaning of life." She said the meaning of life is math. Today we realized that M is the 13th letter of the alphabet, A is the 1st, T is the 20th, and H is the 8th. 13 + 1 + 20 + 8 = 42. IMMD -Madison, via ItMadeMyDay.com

Beautiful photos of sleeping insects covered with dew.
Phoebe! Webcam of a mama hummingbird on her wee nest.
Flowers in ultraviolet.
Seven Classic SW Characters Who Totally Dropped the Ball on Cracked.com. What really gets me here is the placement of the "beautiful feels so good" Naturalizer ad just beneath the picture of Porkins on page 1. I thought it was a deliberate gif choice by Cracked, but no, just a well-placed ad. o_O
Neil deGrasse Tyson's Secret Life (it involves super awesome ties).
Really incredible footage from above the crater of the Icelandic volcano whose name surely makes perfect sense in Icelandic but which gives me a nervous twitch.
A neat solar prominence observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly.
Someone posted this in a comment somewhere at Jezebel. I know nothing about poetry slams, but my God. Powerful stuff.
Ordinarily I have something of a moral objection to laughing at Hitler stuff, but I admit it: I laughed. A lot.
One of the two surviving film clips of Woody Guthrie performing.
A recording of Dylan Thomas reading his poem, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.
Steve Nash has a solid reputation as a very kind and humble person-aka, exactly the opposite of the prancing egomaniac he usually plays in his YouTube videos. This makes his prancing egomaniac routine all the funnier. I love the, "Oh no, not again" reaction from the other Suns, but it's Nash's "Rob-BIIIEEEEE" that slays me. That's our Robin Lopez (also affectionately known as Sideshow Bob) that Steve's harassing.
Also, it's 94 here. I'm finally starting to feel warm. I've missed you, summer. :D
