luckyshirt: On Missing Someone... →
When we leave or lose someone for an hour or forever, missing them can be pretty horrible.

Photoshop's CAF (content-aware fill) -...
o3:
John Nack posted a “sneak peek” of an upcoming Photoshop feature called Content-Aware Fill. There’s an impressive video as well.
Users are predictably drooling; some can’t even believe such a wonder is possible.

Him: Is that a mandolin?
Me: Yep!
Him: What does a mandolin sound like, cause I don't really know how it sounds different than a violin.
Me: Well it's tuned the same as a violin, but it has doubled strings and you play it with a pick. *strum strum pick pick strum*
Him: Oh, it sounds like a ukelele.

Drunk History Presents: Nikola Tesla
Drunk History is a series of history lessons taught by very, very drunk guys and acted out by some pretty famous names (Jack Black, Crispin Glover, Michael Cera). I have never laughed so hard during a history lesson.

Yesterday. And then: Today!
Yesterday was soul crushing.
I went to a career seminar thingy to see about getting a job in a retail store. About half way through it, I started fantasizing about running out the door screaming, “OH GOD WHO AM I WHAT AM I DOING HERE?!?!” (For the record, I didn’t do it, but I was near crying on the bus ride home.)
So, if just sitting and listening to someone talk about a job...

Twitter: The Criterion Collection
What if Twitter… came to life?
