This piece, titled “Orange Roughy”, from digital artist Don Relyea, was inspired by a dinner his wife made. [ScienceBlogs/Deep Sea News (Now At Discovery]

   Did he get food poisoning?

   (I’m not saying I don’t like it – looks kind of like an integrated circuit.)

   Speaking of Friday: Where’s the booze-as-gadget post?

3. [ZoopyFunk]

   Looks like the motherboard of my dreams. My god, did I just say that?

   @Rodney No one sent me any more booze! All I’ve been drinking this week is Sazarac and Bulleit.

   I love this.

   Here’s the Don’s blogpost about it, which answered my question, it was procedurally generated:

   People should stop eating Orange Roughy, they take like 20 years to reach breeding age, and are being driven extinct by fishing.

   It looks like the addressing/decoding section of the 6502 processor, if you ask me…

   And even if you don’t ask me, it still looks like the addressing/decoding section of the 6502 processor.
