I haven’t tried it, but it seems to fly: The Rubber Band Helicopter.

I’m currently in Brazil on vacation.
Posting will be sporadic.
I’m having a brain transplant.

I love you all.

Life is too short for the wrong job!

A snail giving it 110%.

Thought provoking, magical, out of this world optical illusion.

Jessica Joslin makes eerie yet fascinating sculptures with animal skeletons.
I am seriously thinking that I have to put together a cabinet of curiosities, and start collecting things like this.

The ELP Laser Turntable plays your vinyls without touching them. You can even skip tracks just like you would do with a CD player. Where was this tech 20 years ago?

Notcot had the best idea I’ve seen in a while…
She put together a site where anyone can upload an image and describe it. It seems pretty boring and straightforward at first, but once you hop over you’ll immediately see the potential, grasshopper.
Multi-voice + viewpoints designcoolinterestingartisticwhatevercrap talk.
Fuck, now I need an invitation, which you gain by sending three examples of what you’d post…

Update: RSS is coming soon.

Double whammy of the same song. Which is the original? The folksie, or the electronic?

They are both excellent… The original is by electro clash couple The Knife, while the acoustic is by Jos? Gonz?lez.

Hit play on both and enjoy great sonic pleasures. You can even fade the volumes DJ!

Semplice Pixelfonts:
Useful collection of yep, you guessed it, pixel fonts.

Stephen Berkman balances reality and fiction, old and new…
Eerie, thought-provoking photography and installations.

Easily mispronounced domain names…

You know you wanna click on the image. Now go!

It’s interesting to see Turcios’ very original way of doing caricature. Its quite easy to discern who he’s representing without making it blatantly obvious… Good work.

Kinda funny what a few G’s worth of pull on an F-18 will do to you.

I’m sorry it now requires bullshit registration. Bypass it with BugMeNot.

Now that we’ve reached the pinnacle of evolution, I can die a peaceful death.
I give you: Phonies!

Justin Schwartz documented the operations and fixes that were done to his arm after a snake bite. I had no idea venom was this powerful!

True or not this painting looks awesome…

Wow. Fantastic video of ferrofluid arranging itself in cellular form…

Fantastic Titan-landing Huygens probe videos…

Remember the sounds I posted earlier?

Mighty Optical Illusions posted an audio illusion that blew my mind:

Shepard’s ascending tones sound as if they are advancing up the scale, but in fact the starting pair of chords is the same as the finishing pair. If you loop this sample seamlessly then it should be impossible to tell where the sample begins and ends.

Wow.

Check out the rest of the site for optical goodness.

Be ready. The U.S. Army Field Manual is a good basic survival guide.

Talk about a bad-ass watch! The Scope by TokyoFlash will probably get you stopped by airport security…
