I don't have a dirty mind...

Soundtrack of the week: Philip Glass Remixed, 12 musicians remix Glass' minimalist works with wonderful results. (Thanks @DLPfaff.)

Also in music news is the upcoming November release of Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day, a 16 song live recording of their 2007 "reunion" concert.

But what I really want you to consider is this serious story from Stick Men's Michael Bernier who has been having neurological problems because of a mass on his brain. Buying his solo album Leviathan will help him pay some of his medical bills.

X-ray your cucumber (and other vegetables) at Inside Insides.

The second law of thermodynamics is one of those things for which everyone should have a basic understanding and appreciation. Fortunately, Leonard Susskind shares an elegant explanation.

Neatorama shares this list of 10 landmark moments in animation. The usual suspects are here: Gertie the Dinosaur and Steamboat Willie. But there are some surprises involving censorship, labor strife, and an x-rating.

If you author even the simplest web page, you'll benefit from understanding hexadecimal notation for colors (e.g. #390459).

One of Mark Rothko's Seagram Murals in the Tate Modern was defaced by an apparently talentless hack (talentless because otherwise he would've created something new and original) named Vladimir Umanets, a leader of a movement called Yellowism. (The graffiti shown above appears to read "Vladimir / Umanets / A Potential / Piece of Yellowism.") The vandal appears to have properly chosen the name of his movement as his act demonstrates a substantial degree of cowardice. By using Rothko's work as a megaphone for his rambling he's made himself no better than any hanger-on, a coat-tail rider - no better than self aggrandizement junkies who stand in the background of live TV shots, cell phone to ear, waving like a drunk 3rd grader.

In cyberspace you get "Liked" or "Friended." What's the equivalent in meatspace? How about a hug? The Like-a-Hug is a way to link the two. It's a vest that inflates and "hugs" you whenever you get a like online. 

Who wouldn't want this on their commode? (I have no idea why it's called torpedo alley instead of bombs away.)

Do you say "fall" or "autumn?" I actually prefer autumn, or at least I did until reading this article about the season between summer and winter has two names.

Another cool browser trick: Touch Effects.

Never be at a loss for words again. From the utilitarian "dipshit" to the odd sexist/webnerd combo "If your vagina had a password it would be 'password'" find just the right phrase using this giant poster of insults.

...just a very sexy imagination.
