Inspiration Arrives In the Oddest Forms

My boy Conan O'brien began his Tonight Show run this week, and his new set is amazing. It's neo-modern with a touch of 20's glam. Well, some peeps over at SeriousLunch took a look and made an interesting connection:


Seems the ambient Tonight Show backdrop for the show open & monolouge was inspired by Nintendo's Mario series, circa 1992. Of course, it's entirely possible it's a simple coincidence, but it's more fun to think it's not.

Tech blog Gizmodo was able to get a comment from Nintendo of America's Pres. He thinks "That's Great!"

The Big Red Machine

Ever wonder how those red envelopes make their way into your mail box? Well, yeah it's the postal carriers. But I mean what journey does that envelope take once at the mysterious Netflix labs? Boston.com has a peek inside a Netflix shipping HQ, located in Northborough, MA.

Best. T-Shirt. Ever.

This T-shirt is fantastic. It's so simple, yet complex. My mind hurts looking at it. Buy one at Red Bubble.
