The Ripley Space Suit
iena replied to your photo: Impressive space suit. (via Sci-fi Convention, Los… How did he (she?) do the helmet?!?! That’s what I want to know, too. Most likely either she somehow bought or obtained a nice prop somewhere, or maybe even just crafted it herself. The whole thing is impressive, though. (I assumed she was a she.)

Vintage Or Villain?
iena: No matter how often I clean the office I am still always finding more scuzzy shit.
Like three cans of coffee that expired in 2000.
ragdoll: I bet it's still good.
iena: I threw it away.
If it’s been sitting here for fifteen years and no one’s drank it yet,
I think it’s likely no one will.
ragdoll: You just don’t understand a finely-aged bean.
iena: Bean? It’s Taster’s Choice!
There’s no beans in there, just dehydrated mustache leavings.
ragdoll: Ew, molester coffee!
iena: It’s making my garbage stink like furtiveness.

The Human Library →
A Human Library is just that—a library where the “books” are living people who volunteer to share their stories with “readers”—members of the community. … Structured to mimic real library browsing, participants would search the card catalog, apply for a library card, and then check out one of the 35 books as they became available. The book titles, chosen by the “books” themselves, included...

Me And The Cap’n Make It Happen
Yogknuckleteeth: Oops! All Berries. Who actually ate that?
Iena: Ragdoll did.
Ragdoll: Whatever, my parents wouldn’t buy me that shit.
Hotmarcus: Yeah, “Enjoy your bowl of Oops! No Berries, kids.”

Toast Owners Pitch Haymarket Restaurant Idea →
I love Toast, but it’s so far away from downtown—hell from anywhere in town—that I rarely go. I’d be stoked to have their presence in the Haymarket. But that is one unlucky building, guys.

“Just like with Lion, Mountain Lion is evolving in the direction of the iPad....”
– Daring Fireball: Mountain Lion—This update looks subtle but awesome. There are some great features built in, but the thing I love most is that this feels like Apple taking the time to maintain and upkeep their code, removing the sludge that has inevitably developed. This kind of streamlining is what...

– Monkey Fires Shot!—When Will Being a Non-TSA Airport Become a Competitive Advantage?—I had no idea there were airports that opted out of the TSA. None that I will realistically be flying, though.

SilverHawks
(via citationneeded): Launching from their satellite base, Hawk Haven, the SilverHawks flew into battle five days a week for one season. The fictitious Galaxy of Limbo in which the series takes place apparently has an overall atmosphere with breathable air and acceptable living condition of temperature and pressure; characters speak in space and operate “open-air” vehicles, and Windhammer’s...

Mobile Sites vs. Apps: The Coming Strategy Shift →
In my experience, things change much more slowly than one might expect. For example, in September 2000, I said that mobile usability required a device with a deck-of-cards form factor that would “get rid of the keys and spend every available square millimeter on pixels.” A few months later, I predicted that European vendors’ infatuation with non-web mobile phones would lead to...
