Best. School bus. Ever.
I saw this in the middle of the night and I thought “ooooh yeah, this is sweeeeeet. JET BUS!” Love it like a redneck should.
Norman Rockwell models meet up
Here’s an awesome piece from the NY Times: people who acted as models for Norman Rockwell met up in Vermont. I find these sorts of stories extremely interesting.
Jell-O keyboard and mouse joke
Oh yes, I could see this happening to someone I know and love one day after they get back from vacation. So long as I don’t go overboard with it.
What if the earth stood still?

Sweet maps app
This is something my brother-in-law would love: sketch and other style easy maps for directions for people. Seriously, this is awesome. Going to use this from now on instead of Google Map directions. The search engine giant has some catching up to do, it seems. (This would be a cool thing to do in Google [...]
