I don’t watch basketball, but every once in a while, I get sent a clip that is worthy of its own post.

This is Vince Carter jumping over a French opponent (who is allegedly 7’2″) during the 2000 Olympics. Not only does Vince jump over the dude, but he manages to nail a slam dunk in the process. I don’t even think I can jump that high on a trampoline.

keyboard-napkin

I have a habit of eating over my computer which eventually leads to crumbs and other crap stuck underneath the keys on my keyboard. This Keyboard-Napkin will solve my problems. [via]

UPDATE: It just dawned on me that closing my laptop would serve the same purpose as this keyboard napkin. GIMMICK GIMMICK GIMMICK. Haha.

google-page-mishap-firefox

Has anybody else noticed this? Why the hell are those buttons so close to the input area?

I’m not 100% sure this is a Firefox problem. It could actually be a problem with Google’s page, but it seems like a silly mistake for such a simple page like this.

I want this fixed!

instruction-wallet-paper

Here’s an afternoon project you can enjoy and kill some time with. Instructables has some easy-to-follow instructions on how to make your very own paper wallet. [via]

The good thing about this paper wallet is that it is cheap (pretty much FREE actually, as long as you are within the vicinity of some sort of rubbish bin, office, or printer) and it is pretty thin. A thin wallet is always a good wallet.

olympic-torches

The New York Times has put together this interactive display of Olympic Torch designs from past and present. You can zoom in on each torch and read a brief overview of what the torch meant and stood for.

I think my favorite one in recent history is the Summer 2000 Sydney Olympic games torch. That one is simple and elegant.
