Just because we can’t afford to create these things does not mean that we do not still do not want them. With that in mind, you should consider how much business you’ll lose if we have to pay.

The Psychedelic Arts of Technodrome!
From a hundred miles below Earth’s surface comes the Technodrome! With punk rock sensibilities and disco rage, the art of Technodrome pops with the brilliant luminosity inherent in LSD fever-dreams of cats. Contact the artist at his tumblr below if you’re interested in prints.

Live From South Park, Colorado: The Black Keys by Tom Whalen
An officially licensed gig poster for the Black Keys’ stop in Denver, Colorado by the always intergalactically stellar Tom Whalen. You’ll have to be at these shows to get one, which sounds friggin’ sweet but means I probably hate you.

The first 4,000,000 digits of Pi, visualized in a single image
Pi is what’s known as an irrational number, which means that its decimal representation is both infinite and non-repeating.
We’ve been using computers to calculate the digits of Pi for decades. In 1949, John von Neumann and his colleagues used ENIAC — the world’s first general-purpose electronic computer — to calculate Pi to the 2,037th digit. We surpassed the million-digit milestone in 1973. And on October 17, 2011, after 371 days of computing, Shigeru Kondo finished calculating Pi to 10 trillion decimal places.
The picture up top is adapted from a rather simple but effective piece of data visualization, created by the folks at design studio TWO-N, which represents the first four-million digits of Pi in a brilliant mess of interactive pointillism.
Each digit, from 0-9, was assigned a color based on the legend pictured here, and then rendered as a single, 1x1 pixel. Line the pixels up in the order designated by Pi, confine them to a 4-millon pixel image, and you get this interactive applet here, which lets you soar around the entire image, inspecting 500,000-digit sections at a clip. There’s even an interesting search function that lets you probe the mathematical mosaic for number up to eight digits in length.

Talking Monkeys In Space: The Rising Cost of Going (and Not Going!) to College
i fucking HATE sallie mae. but, as they say, don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Derek Thompson writes in the Atlantic:
Have you heard about the dangerous, rising cost of not going to college? In the last 30 years, the typical college tuition has tripled. But over the exact same period, the earnings gap between college-educated adults and high school graduates…
Boo!
Creepy Walking Thing seen on the Kinetica Art Fair, also in my nightmares.
nononononono.
fucking genius
Excuse me while I go get therapy
So perfect
