It's the Weekly What? for July 8th. A completely unremarkable day. But it's still a Friday!
Summer arrives and the entire staff of MDS relocates onto the back patio. All is well until someone spills their "Arnold Palmer" all over the printer and shorts out the entire network.

We'll see you there!

Once upon a time, Twitter was a bit of a laughing stock.
Well, that perception has changed. Twitter got all legitimized when President Obama held the first ever Twitter Town Hall meeting and fielded questions submitted via Twitter. Unfortunately he didn't reply via 140 character tweets but instead addressed the crowd of reporters. I guess us old-timers wouldn't understand what was going on if his replies had been something like "Yah jobs, budget. BTW 'Boehner' srsly LOL KTHXBYE" (Via the Red Devilinas) Read more >>
A home as time-capsule.
A house is built. Fully furnished. But no one moves in and it goes unoccupied for 50 years. Step inside >>
"The worlds inside of us." A neat gallery of double exposure portraits.
