They say you can't judge a book by its cover — unless it's a work of science fiction with one of those excellent cover paintings that screams to be read. Sci-fi book covers are some of the best art you can get your hands on, with the added bonus of getting a book too — oftentimes for a dollar and change. The Nerdwriter dives into the history of the sci-fi cover and how it became one of the strangest, most accessible places for artwork in the world.
The I Heart NY symbol is almost as iconic as the city itself. Designed in 1977 by Milton Glaser, the symbol was first created as an advertising campaign for the city. The campaign turned into the state's trademark logo and can still be seen in every souvenir shop 40 years later. This short film sheds light on the man behind the design and shares how his own relationship with the city inspired his now infamous graphic.
Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.

Homes with complex layouts and/or a lot of floor obstacles can befuddle a lot of robot cleaners. With the StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, Roborock's Saros 10R handles them with ease. Its 3D ToF sensors and visual recognition technology allow it to create 3D maps of its environment — as opposed to the 2D tech in most robovacs — boosting sampling frequency, response times, and the ability to see small objects. As the thinnest Roborock yet, it easily navigates under furniture and into hard-to-reach spots. It has a dual anti-tangle system for dealing with hair and an industry-first AdaptiLift Chassis to easily tackle thresholds and obstacles up to 1.5" tall; the latter joins a liftable mop, main brush, and side brush to make this one of the most versatile cleaners on the market. Enjoy $200 off through 2/16.

Legendary puppeteer Frank Oz signed on to play Yoda in Star Wars, but when a prior commitment forced him to leave filming early, he hand-picked his successor: Dave Barclay. At 19 years old, Barclay picked up right where Oz left off, and the transition was seamless — so seamless that it helped launch the career of Barclay, who would go on to play Jabba the Hut and various Muppets.
