Dan Harmon Gets Fired From Community :

danharmon:

Where was I? Oh yeah. I’m not running Community for season 4. They replaced me. Them’s the facts.

This makes me very sad, and I’m pretty sure we have Chevy Chase to blame for this. Read the rest here.

This demo of the HTML5-based Recursive Drawing tool at first appears rather boring. But give it 2 minutes. That’s when it turns mind-blowing.

Then go draw something

If you’ve made it this far in life and have not yet seen the movie called “Primer,” then you need to stop what you’re doing and devote just over an hour to taking it all in. Then plan on taking anther hour+ to watch it again. Believe me, you’ll want to. Free on YouTube (for who knows how long) here: Primer.

“The IPA is a new way to do patent assignment that keeps control in the hands of engineers and designers. It is a commitment from Twitter to our employees that patents can only be used for defensive purposes. We will not use the patents from employees’ inventions in offensive litigation without their permission. What’s more, this control flows with the patents, so if we sold them to others, they could only use them as the inventor intended.”

- This is an amazing step in the right direction. Hooray for Twitter! (from Twitter Blog: Introducing the Innovator’s Patent Agreement)

This great little documentary covers the oft-overlooked brilliance of the visual style found in HBO’s The Wire.

If you enjoyed the show, do yourself a favor and spend 30 minutes watching this.

Need some inspiration, or a kick in the pants? Ze Frank is here to tell you (and himself) that you’re not alone. God I love this man.

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?” This is his answer.

Astounding, indeed.

Ze Frank is simply one of the funniest men alive. He’s been making hilarity around the internets for a very long time, and I want you to support his current Kickstarter project to bring back his lol-filled “The Show with Ze Frank” show. Do it now.

“Design is problem-solving, plain and simple. It is the creation of a solution aimed at achieving a specific outcome/goal (or a set of them). It can be done consciously or subconsciously. The fact that making things look nice is what most people think of when they hear “design” does not change what it is, it just means we’ve done a bad job at making what it actually is clear.”

fireland:

SPOILER ALERT: Breaking Bad is the prequel to Se7en. It totally makes sense. He loses the goatee to chemo and then starts serial killing in the perpetually rainy city of, uh, Albuquerque.

It all makes sense.

“The rollercoaster of compassionate death,” via kottke.org:

Each inversion would have a smaller diameter than the one before in order to inflict 10 g to passengers while the train loses speed. After a sharp right-hand turn the train would enter a straight, where unloading of bodies and loading of passengers could take place.

The Euthanasia Coaster would kill its passengers through prolonged cerebral hypoxia, or insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain. The ride’s seven inversions would inflict 10 g on its passengers for 60 seconds — causing g-force related symptoms starting with gray out through tunnel vision to black out and eventually g-LOC, g-force induced loss of consciousness. Depending on the tolerance of an individual passenger to g-forces, the first or second inversion would cause cerebral anoxia, rendering the passengers brain dead. Subsequent inversions would serve as insurance against unintentional survival of passengers.
