Zen...In A Violent, Blowing Up Kind Of Way

Provided without comment

Caveat: If you play around with this, I accept no responsibility if you ignore the things you're supposed to be doing.

The World Clock

Ever wanted to know what the global temperature is, how many people are currently in the world. or how many bicycles have been produced? If so, the World Clock is a must see webpage. Seeing those numbers just ticking away is pretty staggering.

A Cool Million

Origami with money ...it combines a cool art form and money. What's not to like?

Of course, I doubt that anyone has extra money laying around these days that they want to make art with. This must be from the '90s.

Cold hands...warm heart

That's the old saw, right? The folks checking out the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, in Harbin, China will almost all have warm hearts, then. I've always been fascinated by the ice hotels and whatnot, but I'd never heard of this festival until just recently. Here are some photos from the 2008 Harbin festival to keep you entertained.

You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

Well, Ok....not really. This shark is already dead. "What's cool about a dead shark?" you ask? I am SO glad you asked! The Auckland Museum in New Zealand will be streaming the necropsy of a great white shark live, this Thursday, 11a-1pm NZ time. I'm terrible at math, but I think this translates to 5pm-7pm Eastern on Wed, as in tomorrow. But don't quote me on that.

Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!

I saw these amazing performers on TV a while back. Every member of this group of Chinese dancers is deaf. I would love to learn more about them and how they manage this routine so flawlessly when they can't hear any cues.

Trick shots + dominoes = <3

Domino tricks are cool. Pool trick shots are cool. Combine the two and it's simply too cool for words.
