This, my friends, is friggin awesome. I cannot wait for entire walls of my future home to be built out of this. Then I can live my dream of having information displayed at every turn in my home. So many uses for this it’s not even funny.
Things I bought on the road: half-gallon Mason jars
July 16, 2009 @ 2:29 pm
Also from Duke’s Lexington Antiques Center are these two beautiful Mason jars –one from Samco and the other from Atlas. They are both 1/2 gallon jars and they make wonderful desk accessories and coin jars (that’s what I’m using them for).

This is like my worst nightmare…and this kid thinks it’s fun!
Tom Buchanan of Australia laid in a clear perspex box and had 125 Golden Orb Spiders put onto his body for 55 seconds during the ‘Australia: Guinness World Records’ TV show in Sydney, New South Wales on 27 August 2005. GROSS.
Inside an electromechanical pinball machine
June 6, 2009 @ 3:34 am
WIRED caught up with an electromechanical pinball machine maker at Maker Faire 2009 and found out just how one of these old-school arcade pieces actually work and keep score. It’s a lot of technical information (I honestly don’t understand most of it), but it’s fascinating to see the inside of what I used to think was a fairly simple device. I would love to have a pinball machine in my own place in the future.
Video of a fish with a transparent head

This species of fish is called Macropinna microstoma. It is unique because of its transparent frontal lobe which visibly shows two green spheres acting as a set of tubular eyes. These eyes can rotate a remarkable range allowing the fish to see predators and prey. Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute liken the transparent dome to the covering of a jet cockpit.
