Watch Jar-Jar getting killed in this deleted Star Wars scene
This is one of the most satisfying things I’ve seen in a long time: watch Jar-Jar Binks—the biggest assclown in the galaxy far far away—getting killed in a deleted Star Wars scene that has been perfectly edited by fans.* Again. And again. So satisfying.

A History of the Apple Mouse Created Exclusively With CSS
The most impressive thing about Josh Bader’s website that documents the history of the Apple Mouse isn’t how comprehensive it is. After all, you can count the number of major hardware revisions Apple’s made to its mouse since 1983 on two hands. No, what makes Bader’s site particularly wonderful is that all the illustrations have been painstaking created using nothing but HTML CSS.

Pioneer Woman’s Holiday Cookbook and Maple Bacon Scones
In my family, it’s no secret that many, if not most, of my best recipes come from a Pioneer Woman cookbook or her website. Well, I’m excited she’s got a new book out this season and it doesn’t disappoint. As popular as Ree Drummond is, AKA The Pioneer Woman, I know there are people who’ve […]

Automatic Tracks Your Driving and Your Car to Save You Money and Time
The Automatic Link is a little white box that plugs into a port in your car you probably never knew existed. It can collect data about your driving habits and tell you how to improve your fuel efficiency, remember where you parked your car, and will call for help in the event of a crash. You don’t have to do a thing.
While we’re not exactly fans of using smartphones while driving, letting your car do the job is another story. Automatic works over a Bluetooth connection and shares information with your smartphone in the background. When you park your car, it makes a note where it is so you don’t have to remember. When you drive, it collects where you went and how efficiently you got there. If you open up the app (when not operating your vehicle, of course), you can find detailed information about your driving habits and fuel efficiency. If you tend to waste gas, Automatic will let you know to help you save some money.
While I’m a bit skeptical about the promise of greater fuel economy, as I have yet to upset Automatic with any bad habits, I think the gadget earns its worth from the emergency call and the car finder—now I won’t have to try so hard. I have a car that has virtually no features whatsoever, so it makes for a nice upgrade. If you’re in the same boat, you’ll probably appreciate Automatic. If you’ve got a fancy car, it might not add quite as much to your life.
