    Apr 2012
    How did I miss this one? While sitting around waiting for Season 5 of Breaking Bad I came across this clip on Funny Or Die. It falsely claims "Breaking Bad has officially been cancelled.

  7. The Cosmos
    Posted by Karl
    Apr 2012
    Swiss artist David Fuhrer has digitally rendered our solar system for a project called The Cosmos he is currently working on. What makes his solar system special is that he removes the planets from their normal setting and places them on a white background — something we are more akin to seeing with art, fashion and product photography.
