Jesus or Darwin?

Cheese toast sandwich shows image of … ? The woman who made the sandwich says it’s Jesus, but to me it looks more like this guy:

The Undeath of Newspapers

The Undeath of Newspapers One of my favorite webcomics is Cowbirds In Love, and while this isn’t Sanjay’s best (that would be this one), it’s pretty funny to a journalist like me.

Inspired Bicycles: Danny MacAskill

Inspired Bicycles Danny MacAskill is like Jackie Chan on a bike — except he probably won’t get rich and famous off his skills and then start whining about how poor people in his country need to be controlled. (photo below via InspiredBicycles.com)

Steve Breen wins second Pulitzer

Steve Breen wins second Pulitzer I was at the Asbury Park Press when he won his first one — I worked a 13-hour day gathering up his winning cartoons, scanning them and building a website to hold them. Large, colorized versions are still in the cafeteria at the Press (or at least, they were still there in December 2008 when I was laid off). Here’s the gallery of his 2009 Pulitzer portfolio. Weirdly enough, even though he can be really vicious in his humor, in person he’s perhaps the nicest, friendliest guy I’ve ever met. Way to go, Steve!

Newspaper competition in cities (or the lack thereof)

Newspaper competition in cities (or the lack thereof) Wow, just wow. And keep in mind that the big cities were smaller in 1909, and that there were fewer big cities (and fewer medium-sized ones as well). That’s a truly sad statistic. (via Gannett Blog)

We Didn’t Start the Flame War

We Didn’t Start the Flame War Also known as “every comments thread on every Web 2.0 post, ever.” But very nicely done (with some bad language, so use your earbuds if you’re at work). (from College Humor via YesButNoButYes)

NASA Misses “Golden” Opportunity

NASA Misses “Golden” Opportunity OK, here’s the story. NASA held a vote-in contest to name a module on the International Space Station. Stephen Colbert got “Colbert Report” viewers to vote to name it “Colbert,” and won the poll.

But while the NASA folks were clever enough to let slip that the module in question was primarily a urine-recycling facility (perhaps hoping to, um, dampen Colbert’s enthusiasm), they couldn’t bring themselves to actually name the module “Colbert.” But as a compromise, they agreed to put an exercise treadmill in the facility, and give it an acronym spelling out C.O.L.B.E.R.T.

But if they’d been really clever, they would have named the urine-recycling machine itself after him: Contained Orbital Liquid Bodily Excretion Recycling Transformer. They missed out on a, shall we say, golden opportunity. (image via E! Online)

Your business card is crap

Your business card is crap So that’s what I’ve been doing wrong all these months of unemployment! Apparently the problem is that my business card isn’t die-cut, embossed and Rolodex-incompatible with a pop-up in the middle. Who knew? (Seriously, I think I may have been premature in accepting the Ferrari-in-the-handicapped-spot guy as King of All Douchebags — this guy’s a serious contender.)

Awesome retro movie intro

Movies That Don’t Suck Man, this brings back memories. Cable is great, but this retro-style intro from the G4 channel takes me back to the days when TV’s full range of options consisted of the networks, a couple UHF channels and a PBS station, and when one of the major three TV networks showed a movie in prime time it was usually the highlight of the evening.
