MTV Germany has created a series of comic-style ads to humorously deliver their "safe sex" message. Remember, kids. Sex is no accident. Via Zevs....

It's confession time, boys and girls! I don't particularly like the book The Devil Wears Prada. I don't think the movie was that great either (despite the oh-so-fab outfits). So why is it that I've read the book numerous times, and watched the movie more times than I would like to admit? Are there any books or movies that have the same effect on you? Anyhow, the reason I bring up this guilty pleasure of mine can be credited to an artist named Lisa Hanawalt. She has created a series of illustrations titled Rumors I've Heard About Anna Wintour, and it's pretty damn hilarious if I do say so myself. Click on over to the link for more so-insane-it-must-be-true rumors about the petite fashion icon! Via NOTCouture. P.S....

I wish my daughter was one of those babies that can sleep anywhere. I wish she were a naturally good sleeper. But she is neither of those things, as she is a highly sensitive child who is always so transfixed by the world around her that she needs to be in a dark, quiet room free from stimuli (and in her own, comfy crib) in order to fall asleep and sleep well. And I am pretty certain that this isn't something that you can "train" a baby to do. I am a firm believer that every baby — every person — is different, and as a result, some are naturally more sensitive sleepers than others. Take my sister and I, for instance. When...

Or, this is what happens when I'm too tired to properly blog. The first video, via Gizmodo, reveals how NASA Photoshops Hubble's images. According to HubbleSite: Hubble images are made, not born. Images must be woven together from the incoming data from the cameras, cleaned up and given colors that bring out features that eyes would otherwise miss. In this video from HubbleSite, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope, a Hubble-imaged galaxy comes together on the screen at super-fast speed. The actual processing that is documented in the video took over 10 hours. And as I have always suspected, the color is added and assigned by scientists as they see fit. The second video is more lighthearted and humorous....

So I had no idea that the iconic publisher Penguin had started a series called Graphic Penguin Classics which takes popular and classic novels and redesigns the covers, illustrated by today's hottest graphic artists. (You can get a better look at the covers at this Flickr Set.) This is yet another lesson that reminds you that you learn new things every day. Even when you're thirty and overtired and have baby drool stains on all your clothes. Anyway, how much do you love the new designs? I mean, don't get me wrong — IMHO, nothing beats the classic Penguin book covers (did you know that you can get them in postcard format?), but sometimes a redesign can help you notice things you...
