This is how they advertised Lego with girls in 1981.

Wouldn’t it be nice if companies still marketed to girls like this?

Another thing from the 80’s I would like to see brought back.

If you’re driving through London and see this, it’s time to pay the city’s congestion charge. Read all about one of the world’s most successful congestion charging schemes on This Big City.

I would support a program like this in NYC.

NYC needs this so badly.

If you’re a startup founder, no matter what sort of business you’re in, you need to read this in full. Take your time and digest it. Bookmark it in some fashion, then read it again in three months. Lather, rinse, repeat.

This is a great, if short, video from 1990, where Steve Jobs discusses the future of the Library of Congress. In it, he talks about how video games could eventually be the future of learning, taking the form of simulations that could access the accumulated information contained in the Library.

It also contains a version of his ‘bicycle of the mind’ analogy, in which he compares the computer to said locomotive device and says that tool building is what separates us from the primates. It’s a great little watch for some choice quotes.

Shenanigans at blip:

Exhibit A) Light therapy: apply directly to your forehead!

Exhibit B) Bacon bounty makes Nate and Jared happy. Bacon-less Paul is sad.

Happy Fat Friday.

(Also, I like how Paul is in both photos.)

Breakfast photo of the day (for Annie).

Two egg whites + one whole egg + pinto beans = badass omelette. Add one whole fresh ripe avocado and salsa verde and you’ve got… breakfast.

Jed Bartlet calls the Butterball Hotline.  A holiday classic.

Love this clip.

“I do… radio commercials… for… products.”

Say What Now of the Day: On last night’s O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly and Fox News colleague Megyn Kelly discussed the recent pepper-spraying incident at UC Davis and concluded that it’s not right “to Monday-morning quarterback the police,” particularly at “a fairly liberal campus” like UC Davis, just because they sprayed some protesters with “a food product, essentially.”

Listen above to the entire u-rage-u-lose exchange, which comes hot on the heels of a new PublicMind poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University which found that people who regularly watch Fox News are less informed than people who don’t watch any news at all.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, yeah: Megyn Kelly’s “essentially” remark is already a meme.

Megyn Kelly on mustard gas: “It’s a condiment, essentially.”
