I love these LEGO creations by Flickr user SuckMyBrick. Can you guess the pop culture icon depicted in each sculpture? (Highlight just below the photo to see the answer.) Michael Jackson

I Am Vincent van Beethoven
I’ve already shared this on Facebook and Twitter, but I found it so fascinating that I need to blog about it too! Map Your Mind is an online quiz created by GE neuroscientists and BrainMic which tells you which famous people’s brains are most like your own. I know all personality tests — especially online […]
Lightsabers
I’m still sick. Actually, I’m sicker, with a fever that reached 102.4° last night. The good news is that the girls are doing much better. Their fevers are down and the remaining symptoms are those that are typical of end-stage colds (runny noses and coughing). Since the progression of Aerin’s illness so closely resembled that of […]
3 Things I Found on the Internet Today
Happy Halloween! My last two posts have been Halloween-related, but I unfortunately have nothing to add to the holiday today. Instead, I wanted to share with you…wait for it…3 things I found on the internet today! (As if you couldn’t tell from the title! 😛 ) 1. Left or right? Making choices in Snowpiercer I […]
Boo!
Look at me! Did that scare you? 😉 Because it’s pretty freaky, if I may say so myself. As much as I would like to take credit for this zombie effect, I didn’t have to do any work to achieve the ghoulish look (unless you call clicking on some buttons “work”). So no, there will be […]
Two Fascinating, Potentially NSFW Charts
I’m not sure exactly why I find these charts — depicting the various subjects and categories that turn people on and how they differ between men and women — so interesting. Well, duh it’s related to sex so it’s naturally intriguing. But I think for me, the science and research behind human attraction has always been captivating […]
Power Dynamics Via Angles [Silence of the Lambs Edition]
I’m really enjoying the Every Frame a Painting series from Tony Zhou! Last week, I shared with you his analysis of David Fincher’s brilliant directorial techniques. Today, I bring you a similar video that dissects a famous scene from Silence of the Lambs. This one’s less than 3 minutes long, so take a look if you didn’t watch the […]
J.J. Abrams Personally Solves Kid’s Algebra Problem
Last week, a (rightfully) proud father’s Facebook post went viral as he shared his 8th grade son’s homework. The assignment? To create an algebraic expression into a word problem. And his son Cody’s answer (with no help from his parents)? In case you’re having trouble reading the above, it says: J.J. Abrams is making Star Wars […]
How Much Damage Did Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes Fame) Cause? [$$$]
The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that raising a child from birth to age 17 costs, for those in the middle-income groups, anywhere from $226,800 to $264,600. If you think that figure is large, consider the fact that those numbers do not take into account any damage (the physical kind, not emotional) the child can […]
Things David Fincher Doesn’t Do [Brilliant!]
This video has been popping up on my favorite blogs since last week, but I haven’t had a chance to watch it until now. And it’s excellent. One can’t help but be utterly impressed with David Fincher afterwards. I don’t think the average movie goer notices the things that Tony Zhou points out in the […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the
