Best iOS7 feature not mentioned at WWDC? Apparently you can make your wallpaper image a panorama that moves based on your location. Neat.

Whoa. A guy I know directly inspired this Twitter profile pic.
Anyone want to carpool to DC this November?
Already here, but this screams “Tumblr Meetup.”
This is amazing. I can’t thank you guys enough!
Awesome! Peter got here just a week after us. He’s one of the best folks on Tumblr, but he’s always incredibly modest. I expect him to respond to this reblog by saying, “You’re too kind.” And I expect to say back to him, “No, I’m not. You deserve this.”
Sorry Daft Punk helmets. We have a new winner for best WSJ stipple-print of the week.
We’re just going to post it straight up from the press release, no editing: “In the new animated comedy series Mike Tyson Mysteries, Mike Tyson is taking the fight from the boxing ring to the streets… by solving mysteries! Armed with a magical tattoo on his face and a trusty associate by his side — a talking pigeon — if you have a problem that needs solving, Iron Mike is in your corner. The series incorporates live-action appearances featuring Mighty Mike himself, and the gloves come off as the former heavyweight champ and his fowl-mouthed partner gear up for weekly adventures as they put unsolved mysteries — like how to defeat a super computer at chess or why a famous author/werewolf can’t finish his novel — down for the count. Animated quarter-hour from Warner Bros Animation.” (photo by Brian Birzer/via Wikimedia Commons)

Our pal is selling a book … Read more about it above.
Today in videos that will blow your mind: This is called a “Hyperlapse,” a time-lapse video built with a number of camera movements. This would be cool on its own (the process is generally very time-consuming), but the really awesome part is this: It was created using publicly-available Google Streetview data. There’s even a tool that helps you make your own. The results are rad in that way that few things are. I’m gonna stop talking now. Just watch.
The song starts out jagged and raw, only to come apart completely by the end. This is the kind of thing that Deerhunter excels at. It’s what “Monomania” simply is.

So the White House released their April Fool’s joke, a video with a kid president, which would be pretty unremarkable except this kid KILLS IT. It’s like a minute long, just watch it.
“I think I’m stuck.”
Today in the only April Fool’s joke we’ll post on this blog (well, barring this one, probably).
Number of two-headed bull shark fetuses we’re going to post about today? Just one. OK, technically two. (via National Geographic)
White House Petition of the Day: Make Legislators Wear Logos of Corporate Backers
The latest brilliant idea to come out of We The People website is this petition suggesting that lawmakers should be required to be more transparent about their financial backers by wearing logos of their corporate “sponsors,” just like the NASCAR drivers do. As of Thursday evening, it has accrued more than 9,000 of the 100,000 signatures it needs to be formally addressed by the White House. GOOD magazine previously explored this idea with photoshopped mockups of New York Senator Charles Schumer and Florida Senator Marco Rubio donning logo patches of their contributors on their suits.
Hat tip goes to Dangerous Minds.
Not likely to go anywhere (just like NASCAR drivers, who drive in circles), but sort of amazing.
The greatest Disney-based video game ever is coming back. Excuse me while I make two Ducktales-related posts in a row.
