Sun, I Am Not Disappoint

On July 19, 2012, an amazingly beautiful (and apparently uncommon) solar eruption occurred, exhibiting all 3 types of solar "flare" activity: 1) a solar flare, 2) coronal mass ejection, and 3) complex moving structures in association with changes in magnetic field lines that loop up into the Sun's atmosphere, the corona.

This is not CGI.

They're Doing Social Media Right

One has to wonder what possessed Amy and Samy Bouzaglo, the owners of Amy's Baking Company in Scottsdale, Ariz., to behave the way they did on last Friday's episode of "Kitchen Nightmares." It's saying something that host Gordon Ramsay comes off as the reasonable, even-keeled one.

Spacebound

A boy and his dog have their space ship crash in an asteroid belt and decide just to have fun with the time they have left.

Cute little film that's sadder than Up, Toy Story 3 and the scene in Top Gun when Goose dies all rolled in one, yet still cute to watch. Prepare thy feels.

Build to Fail, Fail to Build

A forum member posts amusing photos as his landlord erects the shoddiest shed known to man. The dry commentary is quite amusing. There's even a few time-lapse videos to boot.

The first page shows the initial photographs. The follow-up photos are on page 5, page 7, and page 10. The final, glorious shed is on page 17.
