Remembering Stan Lee
Stanley Martin Lieber helped changed comics from pulpy, kid-focused stories to something approaching high art. Lee's characters might have superpowers, but they were also human — affected by the same worries and frustrations that we all deal with.

Every Stan Lee Cameo
On November 12, 2018, real-life superhero Stan Lee fought his final battle. Lee started in comics in 1939 and helped make Marvel the biggest in the business, creating or co-creating some of the most well-known heroes like Spiderman, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, and the Black Panther. Disney brought Marvel to the big screen with the massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe, but even before the huge Disney-led films, Lee was given several cameos starring his characters.

NOMOS Club Sport Neomatik 42 Watch
The Club Campus family is one timepiece stronger and much sportier after the 2019 Baselworld announcement of the Club Sport. The Nomos timepiece expands the Club line with a new in-house automatic movement, and an unexpected all-new steel bracelet. Departing from the watchmaker's norm of only using leather and fabric straps, the steel bracelet is crafted in-house with 145 individual parts and an elegant deployment clasp. The watch also has an impressive 300 meters of water-resistance, a screw down crown, and a dark marine black dial with numerals, hands, and typography that are loaded with Super-Luminova — ensuring you're more than prepared for your next trip underwater. A red ring on the inside of the crown acts as a visible warning if it's not secure before you dive beneath the surface. Small seconds and date complication round out the timepiece, and the neomatik date caliber is protected by domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating inside and out. The Club Sport might be one of the toughest Nomos timepieces to date, and a versatile blend of a dress, dive, and everyday watch with a sporty feel.

Stanley Kubrick Explains the Ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Being Alone Forever
Humans are social creatures, and while solitude can be good for everyone, too much can be extremely harmful. One way we've learned about isolation is by solitary confinement in prison.

LifeNoggin looks at what happens when we're alone too much, and what that teaches us about ourselves.
