JIM PARSONS IS AN AMAZING ACTOR AND THE BIG BANG THEORY IS THE BEST SHOW AND SEVERELY UNAPPRECIATED.

(Oooh fun emo timez.)I wish I had more talent. Then drawing wouldn’t be so painful. (Paintful!) But enough of that; everyone can do with more talent, but that doesn’t stop some people from being…

volume-control:
Charles Eames’ conceptual diagram of the design process, displayed at the 1969 exhibition “What Is Design” at the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris. Pinched from Gloria Koenig’s excellent (and bargainous) book, Eames. Designers should be made to stare at this for ten minutes each morning. Conviction and enthusiasm: that’s what we should all be aiming for.

Begin at hinge, not lipped. Lidded. Outer canthus.
Ascend to eyebrow. A gentle press. Dry.
Arc to lacrimal duct. Don’t rush. Laproscopic tongue, blindly.
The nostril curve. Don’t linger.
Earlobe like an artichoke leaf. Savor.

GROSS domestic product figures for the second quarter show that China has overtaken Japan as the world’s second largest economy. I have been traveling while on leave from the university in Tokyo where I teach, and was in Paris when the news broke last week. My first reaction, frankly, was one of relief.

Knowing the distribution of dark energy tells astronomers that the Universe will continue to get bigger indefinitely. Eventually it will become a cold, dead wasteland with a temperature approaching what scientists term “absolute zero”. Professor Priyamvada Natarajan of Yale University, a leading cosmologist and co-author of this study, said that the findings finally proved “exactly...

A Man, A Plan, Some Hams: Bijijoo? :: Culture ::... →
Somewhere in the depths of Oregon there lives a man who has spent the past six months painstakingly creating 44 unique masterpieces. He goes only by Bijijoo.
“It’s just my art name,” he tells Paste via telephone one afternoon. “My friends call me B.”

It’s an obvious fact that circles should have 360 degrees. Right?
Wrong. Most of us have no idea why there’s 360 degrees in a circle. We memorize a magic number as the “size of a circle” and set ourselves up for confusion when studying advanced math or physics, with their so called “radians”.

“Rickroll is a meme or internet kind of trend that started on 4chan where users - it’s basically a bait and switch. Users link you to a video of Rick Astley performing Never Gonna Give You Up,” said Mr Poole.
“And the term “rickroll” - you said it tries to make people go to a site where they think it is...
