Following the previous serious post with some frivolity, here are a bunch of random links (mostly from Twitter):
The Library of Congress has rare color pictures of the Great Depression.
An awesome real-world model of a Portal turret. (Any of you guys play Portal 2?)
Mythbuster Adam Savage dancing geekily in a faraday cage while tesla coils rigged as electronic synthesizers play the theme song to Dr. Who.
Actual climate scientists rap about climate change.
Remember that ad I mentioned? A few of you saw it. Several others from other sites saw it, too. One of you had to think about it for a sec. One didn't see it at all. Thanks to everyone who responded. I emailed the company to ask them about it. They haven't responded. I'm not entirely surprised.
