THE FOOD NETWORK DRINKING GAME « Food Network Humor:

My favorite is “1 drink whenever Scott Conant says he hates raw onions”

The dude acts like it’s common sense. Everyone hates them, so why do you use them? Moron.

My Nethack YAAP

My Nethack YAAP:

The ultimate computer game for the imagination.

That sounds like a pretty outlandish title, huh … but I mean what I say. By accident as much as design, Nethack has evolved as a game that is uniquely suited to exercise the imagination. It takes place in a complicated, colorful world, and it describes that world using a method that shows you exactly what’s going on … but which also demands - insists - that you use your creative skills to visualize, hear, and feel the environment. This unique game doesn’t draw you into itself - it compels you to draw yourself into it.

How To Make Postcards From Vintage Book Covers Home Hacks - Apartment Therapy Re-Nest:

“The idea for this project comes from a set of postcards I sent to a Swedish friend more than a decade ago. I mailed him a handmade postcard made from the paperback cover torn from a copy of Ian Fleming’s Moonraker. He mailed back a postcard right away written on the back of Ian Fleming’s Thunderball, and a tradition was created.”

When I say that The Secret of Kells — the Irish Oscar contender for Best Animated Feature that had everyone scratching their heads when it was announced a few weeks ago — harks back to an earlier style of drawing, I don’t just mean pre-digital animation. I mean the kind of drawing that monks did in the Middle Ages; those curlicued borders and ornate letters they hand-painted in holy books.
