More Sleeveface: Are you in a pissy mood like me? Here's a little sleeveface to brighten your dark soul.
Need Another Reason to Dislike Denis Leary? I don't. This pretend-fireman, pretend-hockey player and legit joke thief has been ripping off comedians (entire bits from Bill Hicks) for years. His comedy career-defining bit "I'm an Asshole" was stolen directly from Louis C.K. If that's not enough, Leary attacks autism for no good reason (a lame attempt at keeping the edgy, angry guy thing going, huh?). Did he once play a pretend-neurologist, is that how he became an expert on the topic? I guess he's never met a child who has to live with the disorder. At least he's spot-on about the "I'm an Asshole" part.
Vote Wisely: Or else... you'll see a lot more of this... and god forbid, this!
A Clean Break in Philly: "A vacant lot becomes a prefab neighborhood for two weeks with full-scale modern, sustainable, affordable homes designed by international architects." Sounds interesting!
Blinded by Science? Trust no one! Even scientists, Jeff? Yes friends, especially those Bunsen burning bastards! Read The Great Betrayal:
Judson’s cast of characters includes a dermatologist who claims he can graft skin from black mice to white — but turns out to have colored the grafts with a Sharpie. Another scientist creates bogus data before the very eyes of his stunned colleagues. And a Nobel Prize winner defends the publication of a co-author’s concocted data by saying it’s the scientific community’s job to verify it. [via veryshortlist]
If you want to fear your doctors too, I recommend: Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande.
Not Dead: Just Asleep.

We Need Backup! Wow, this handsome little fella seems like a good deal: Iomega releases 1TB network hard drive for $299. Speaking of Iomega, you designers remember good ol Zip drives? How's about the dreaded SyQuest disk, the absolute worst and most unreliable thing you could ever attempt to save a file to.
