Donald Soffritti likes to draw cartoons of what superheroes would look like after they retired and moved to Florida.
I guess even the mighty must fall eventually.

Typography is an instructional style video about the look of language.
The animation is extremely well done, and I love the old look and feel that it has, so check it out:
For a few other typography related videos, check out Pulp Fiction (NSFW):
And Who’s on First?:
Sure, they did it in 3 Fast 3 Furious, but no one actually puts a new engine into old muscle; do they?
Well apparently they do, because the ’72 Pontiac LeMans that you see here is powered by none other than a 1991 Toyota Supra 7M-GTE 3.0 Litre 24V Turbo motor.
Apparently the car was basically a total loss when it was purchased at auction, so it’s not like they chopped up some pristine iron to make this creation, but I’m still not sure if I can wrap my head around how they decided that this was their best bet for power.
I guess if the go pedal works though, it doesn’t exactly matter what it’s connected to.

When a laptop ages, it’s easy to ponder a replacement for the outdated machine.
However, with some new software, outside the box thinking, or hardcore hacking, an old laptop can also take on a new life as a server, a photo frame, a backup, and more.
If you’re interested, Lifehacker’s got the guide to turn your old machine into a new toy, so check out the list to see what you can do with yours.

While traveling around Washington, DC, Flickr user Musely had an interesting idea called Washington, DC on $85 a Day.
Since the US $5, $10, $20, and $50 bills all feature buildings that are located in Washington (the Lincoln Memorial, US Treasury, White House and Capitol buildings respectively) he walked around until he found the place wither each illustration was made, lined up the bill, and snapped away.
It’s old meets new in a very interesting sort of way.

Turning an old Mac into a Mac-O-Lantern is definitely the best recycling I’ve seen in some time.
To make your own, just find an old Mac, give it the proper paint scheme, load up a face image and proudly display.
Happy Macoween.
