Infographic of the Day: As with most everything in life, famous movie quotes cannot help but submit to the ameliorating power of charts and graphs.

New Music Video! OK Go - “This Too Shall Pass”

Directed by James Frost. Third single off the band’s recently released studio album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.

The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The “machine” was designed and built by the band, along with members of Synn Labs ( http://syynlabs.com/ ) over the course of several months.

OK Go doing what they do best - a great video for a great song. I’m glad to see they’re taking a stand against their record company for the removal of the embed feature for their videos. If it wasn’t for the embedding ability and the viral nature of “Here It Goes Again”, the video wouldn’t have gained in popularity and become the sensation that it was/is. Kudos to OK Go for speaking out.

I enjoyed this video for a myriad of reasons, but I’m pretty sure I enjoyed the fact they were playing tennis on such a modern court the most. Is it spring yet? I need to work on MY (TENNIS) GAME.

Huskies are so cute when they’re calm. What an adorable expression on this one.

Jay posted and alerted me to the fact that SEGA is making Sonic 4 in a 2D format. AWESOME. I’m glad the game makers took the hint from New Super Mario Bros. Wii and realized that we’re dorks for nostalgia ALREADY.

Although, the early 90s is almost 20 years ago at this point. WOW. I’m getting old and refuse to actually realize this sometimes. I’ll be 26 next month and still feel like I’m 13 on occasion. Weird, but I’m okay with it.

I “hearted” this image a week or whatever ago since I thought it was so amusing. Now EVERY TIME I hear Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” I picture this image and sing along saying BAD ROMANS.

Jayson alerted me to AXE COP today. HOLY CRAP. Not only is the story of how it exists awesome (written by a 5-year old, drawn by a 29-year old), but the story itself is ridiculous and ridiculously good.

FoD Exclusive of the Day: Pee-wee Herman’s friend Steve Jobs gave him a free iPad to play with, and Pee-wee is pretty jazzed up about it. The rest of the Playhouse gang doesn’t really get what the big deal is, but soon come around once they see how useful it can be.

Also: Hooray for Pee-wee being back! Boo for unnecessary 20-year absence.

Every time I hear Michael Jackson's 'Beat It', I always ended up visualizing the Café 80's, where it's always morning in America, even in the afternoo-noo-oon.

Reservoir Dogs Tribute Poster

I bought the 12x18” print of this for the home that we don’t yet have. It’s a bit expensive (I’m cheap/sorry, Pete!), but I really love it. It’s one of those pieces I’ve come across that screams, “This belongs framed on your wall!” and I know every time I’d walk by it or look at it, I’d be happy it was there.

“Like so many others, I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct.”
