Many moons ago, film director Michel Gondry put on Youtube a video of him solving a Rubik’s cube with his feet. The video was quickly shown to be a fake, with footage of him unsolving a Rubik’s cube with his feet merely shown in reverse. Hardly fazed by these attacks on his character, Gondry has recently added another video of his Rubik’s might: Michele Gondry solving the cube with his nose in less than a minute.

Ben & Jerry’s presents Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream. Vanilla ice cream, fudge-covered waffle pieces, and caramel. Damn delicious. “Announcing the new flavor Wednesday, Ben & Jerry’s called it: ‘The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth.’”

Have a slogan! Terrible things mixed with popular commercial slogans. Depression: Billions and billions served.

An intriguing article in the recent New York Times Magazine by Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. (Skip to the end to get a quick summary.) “2. Avoid even those food products that come bearing health claims. When Kellogg’s can boast about its Healthy Heart Strawberry Vanilla cereal bars, health claims have become hopelessly compromised. Don’t take the silence of the yams as a sign that they have nothing valuable to say about health.”

The Order of the Science Scouts of Exemplary Repute and Above Average Physique is an up-and-coming group of alcohol imbibers and science writers (in all their various incarnations). Like any good order, the O.O.T.S.S.O.E.R.A.A.A.P. is chock full of merit badges. The “cloner” badge certainly has potential: In which the recipient has cloned something or other. Rules to a drinking game concerning this badge will be forthcoming.

Similarly, everything you don’t want to know about your kid’s sex life:

To figure out what teens are up to when their parents aren’t watching, we gave 53 boys and 47 girls from four Manhattan high schools a series of 37 questions designed to tease out exactly how far they go. Then went after 100 parents…and put them to the test, with one difference: We asked them to guess their own teens’ answers. As you’ll see, the high schoolers and the parents live on fairly different planets.

Shuttle launch seen from ISS - A couple images, via comic-writer-extraordinaire Warren Ellis, of a space shuttle launch as seen (supposedly) from the International Space Station. However, the ISS is at an altitude of about 360 km (according to Wikipedia), and these pictures look to be taken from an altitude more like 15 km…. so you be the judge.

AskMeFi: Metafilter, “magazine” of the future! - An interesting discussion comparing Metafilter to high-brow magazines (Harper’s, The New Yorker, The Economist, etc.).

onegoodmove: Jack Bauer Justice:

What is it about the right-wing’s penchant for TV justice. Last night it was the Wall Street Journal’s Stephen Moore. “You know what this is really. It’s Jack Bauer justice … he should run the CIA” to which Bill Maher responds, “you do realize it’s a TV show,” but Rep. Barney Frank (D) Massachusetts got to the heart of the matter when he said, “It’s not terrorists we’re talking about, it’s people accused of terrorism.”

40+ ways to make money on the internet - I might have to look at this more closely.

My friend recently (as in three months ago) informed me of a development in book publishing. It seems that for a small price (not much more than a regular book), you can design and publish your own book in any minute quantity you want. Normally publishing a book requires printing a whole bunch of them, so this is pretty cool. Self-publishing for the win! Lulu and Blurb are two such companies.
