Talented caricaturist Donald Soffritti’s humorous “Decadence” series depicts superheroes, like Batman and Robin, Flash, and Spiderman, above, in their not-so-golden years. Plus, if you like the work of talented illustrators the way I do, the guy’s got a blogroll to die for.

From his Steampunk Workshop web site, Jake von Slatt not only talks the steampunk talk, but walks the steampunk walk. Here, he delivers step-by-step low-down on how he built this gorgeous Victorian desktop PC mod. You won’t believe your pince-nez as you eye the finely crafted detailing, below. Continue reading →

Introducing the dance remix of Bill O’Reilly’s now notorious, “twenty years old” hissy fit, obviously just as NSFW as is Bill.

I saw Amy Poehler’s toothsome chomp into Clinton’s soft, white underbelly this past weekend on SNL, and it was, indeed, hilarious. But The Huffington Post rocked this still frame hard enough to make me stand back, and re-see the beauty of the moment.
