This Sunday’s concert by Ween is so close, Bryan Hickey can taste it. The manager of Missoula’s Big Dipper Ice Cream for the past decade, and a devotee of the Pennsylvania-based psychedelic freak-rock band for nearly twice that long, Hickey has spent the past week blending his passion and his profession to create a series of ice cream flavors themed after the band.

The New York Times recently put together a diagram of how Facebook’s system for setting your privacy preferences works. It’s pretty crazy; check it out here.

The connection between stale sugary sticks of gum, and a unicorn walking around in a magical forest singing Culture Club’s “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” is alas quite lost on me.

Bonus points to anyone who can make sense of it. [Read More...] Whoa. Someone’s figured out how to print in 3-D ceramics. As in, design a cup on a computer screen, print it, fire it, drink from it. Seriously, check it out. Share on Facebook I usually have a fast delete-finger when it comes to non-personal, non-work-related email. But this one caught my attention.
