This is pretty awesome. Check out this video which explains the last 10 years of the US economy in a lovely animated cartoon with visually appealing vintage graphics that came right out of a Papermarket store.

I’m blogging this at 6.43am. The sky is still semi-dark, the fan is whirring, and the world hasn’t woken up yet – perfect conditions for work.

Here’s what
The Mondays after a long weekend or a vacation are the worst. You get into the office, and it’s like walking into the set of Night of the Living Dead. Everyone is a freakin’ zombie: blank eyes, slack mouth, and shuffling (not the LMFAO kind). This week started with one such Monday – we had
I just caught the Dark Knight Rises last week. Okay, it wasn’t a terrible movie, but it’s just riddled with plot inconsistencies that I couldn’t resolve, like (SPOILER ALERT): 1.

Came across this yesterday, and thought that it was way too awesome not to share! Presenting: The Absolute Moron’s Guide to the Euro Crisis Part I and Part II (Hat tip Barry Ritholtz) Totally awesome for those of you who’ve been trying to wrap your heads around this Euro crisis thing, so you have something smart
