Vintage iPod, perhaps? (link roundup)

One of several 18th century color charts posted here. Via.

And a few more links:

1. Homemade Indiana Jones props: Amulet from The Fate of Atlantis, and wrapped Grail diary from The Last Crusade.

2. This post about Comcast's efforts to buy NBC is a good reminder that the vast majority of "news" reporters report is really whatever facts some interested party has leaked.

3. Here's a list of 22 magazines that are earning more this year than last. (I'm not sure I'd want any of them even if they were free). Via.

Pocket Firefox logo (link roundup)

Pocket Firefox logo by Yaroslaff Chekunov.

And a few more links:

1. Less you think we're even close to passed the current economic transformation, the NY Times has announced that it has to eliminate (at least) 100 newsroom jobs.

2. And Hawaiian public schools will be closed pretty much every Friday for the rest of the school year. (I guess if parents are laid off, they'll have time to watch the kids.)

3. And Pennsylvania anticipates the need to layoff more workers, also.

In other words, no matter how secure your job seems, now is the time to save money, network, and learn some new work skills.

Earth and Jupiter in one photo (link roundup)

Earth and Jupiter photographed together. Via.

And a few more links:

1. Gawker reports a claim that the Wall Street Journal is "hemorrhaging money." (Which would explain Rupert Murdoch's switch from boasting of giving content away for free, to trumpeting the need to demand payment for content.)

2. "Dick Giordano had a page of Teen Titans colored blue to help sort of 'sneak' the first interracial embrace in mainstream comics through." See the panel here.

3. Photograph of a giant octopus attack.

Spaghetti cupcakes (link roundup)

And a few more links:

1. The Spanish ribbed newt thrusts its ribs out of its body to use as weapons. Like Wolverine, they can retract the claws and heal the injuries. Via.

2. And here's another weird one: six-foot long jellynose fish. Via.

3. Dan Lyons makes an excellent point about newspapers:

Ask anyone who's an expert in anything—whether it's bicycle racing or brain surgery—what they think when they read a newspaper article about their field. Chances are they cringe, because the material is so dumbed-down, and because it's so clear that whoever wrote the article has no real expertise on this topic.

Hollywood Drinking and Drawing (link roundup)

Hollywood Drinking and Drawing spotted here. To be a party invitation, I presume.

And a few more links:

1. Comment and win buttons.

2. Why would the government bail out newspapers when the public clearly prefers news on the web? It's so much easier to leak stories to newspapers and then tell tell them what to publish.

3. Photo of angels descending from heaven, perhaps?

1. Bleeding Woman Brand Tampons logo (not a real product, as far as I can tell).

2. Southwest will no longer offer lemons on flights (you can still get limes). The switch will save $100,000 a year. Via.

3. Michael Masnick of the excellent TechDirt artfully explains why paywalls won't help newspapers: "It's putting up a tollbooth on a 50-lane highway where the other 49 lanes have no tollbooth, and there's no specific benefit for paying the toll."
