The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

  • The teeny-tiny robots are coming! Well...funds for them are, anyway. The Nanotechnology Institute has just been awarded $3.5 million in grant money. As everything we know about nanotech comes from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Jason X, we expect an itty-bitty robo-apacolypse within the year. (Assuming, of course, the world doesn't end on September 12.)

  • Everything old is new again: first Franklin Square gets a facelift - and now Smith Memorial Playground becomes Swing City.

  • On the less-than-lighter-side, Philly crime becomes increasingly disturbing and gruesome this week: body parts were discovered in a South Philly home, shootings are starting to take place in the light of day, a mother & her son were shot in West Kensington, a woman was shot and killed while standing in front of her West Philly home, and some current prison inmates may go free, due to facility overcrowding. (Now we're beginning to see how we hit the top 10 drunk cities list. After reading these stories, we sure could use a drink.)

    According to Heery Casting: “The Block is an ensemble drama about five teenagers growing up in the same suburban neighborhood. Friends, strangers, lovers, rivals – their lives intersect and collide as they embark on a journey to find their individual voice, their unique identity. It's a show about our intimate moments and personal spaces. The place you always outgrow, but will always say you're from. Your block." No word yet on which block the filming will take place, but it shouldn't disrupt anything. Since the Real World, we here in Philly are used to circumventing melodramatic beautiful people and their camera crews on the street. Photo credit: Amazon
