We were going to have a wittier title for this post, but couldn’t make up our minds, so I’m including all the contenders.

Life || The View from the Moon [July 20, 2009]

40 years ago today (actually to the minute of this posting), Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon. The two of them, along with Michael Collins up in the Command Module, accomplished something that the rest of us can only dream about. Plus, they [...]

Life || Because Our Awesomemeters Aren’t Infallible [July 19, 2009]

And also because sometimes, we’re kind of lazy and don’t feel like writing a whole post on something that was perhaps only marginally cool.
You might have already noticed the new occupant of the top section of the sidebar. (The section titled “Is This Awesome?“)
This is where we will throw up links to things that we [...]

Life || Burger Bed [July 13, 2009]

Who wants a giant Cheeseburger Bed?

(8 foot diameter)
This bed (erroneously called a “Hamburger Bed” but still awesome) is on sale via eBay (the source of the picture).  You can read a little about the bed here.  As creator of the BurgerMap, I’m considering bidding on this, however, I want to first make sure it won’t [...]

Life || Taking a Picture a Day For 18 Years [July 7, 2009]

At the start of this year, a friend of mine sent me a link to something called Project 365.  The basic idea is that for an entire year you make sure to take a picture every day, and at the end of a year you’ll have a photo-chronicle of the past 365 days.
So now that [...]

Life || Greatest Wedding Invitation Ever [June 18, 2009]

There is no way that anything I write here will add to the awesomeness that is found below, and yet I’m writing something anyway. Weird.
See the invitation after the jump.

Entertainment, Food, Life, News || HoagieFest 2009 [June 5, 2009]

For those of you who live near a Wawa, rejoice!  It’s HoagieFest 2009!  For those of you who don’t live near a Wawa, consider moving.
I can’t think of anything that fits the spirit of Life in Awesomeopolis better than HoagieFest.  It takes something already awesome, Wawa, and layers on top of it some pure unadulterated [...]

Life || Full of Awesome, Like a Ninja Riding a Bear [May 6, 2009]

This was forwarded to me in an email, so the legitimacy is a bit dubious, but no matter what, it’s awesome. Apparently, english teachers from across the country submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are then supposedly published each year to the amusement of teachers. Here [...]

Life || Google Celebrates Samuel Morse [April 27, 2009]

If you’re like me and tend to use the Google search bar that comes standard in many browsers (gogo Firefox!), you may not actually make it over to the Google homepage. If that’s the case, you’ll miss out on today’s gem. As you may not know, today happens to be Samuel Morse’s birthday. To [...]
