Check out this snap taken by the Mars Global Surveyor on May 22, 2003. Every so often the planets align so that both Jupiter, Earth and the moon can all be captured in one wide angle breathtaking shot.

You always hear designers talking about making objects “pop.” Making certain pieces catch your eye. The Cubic Switchplate literally adds a new dimension of a poppability, creating the illusion of a three dimensional cube-shaped light box, without the need of taking up anymore real estate than a normal flat switch.
Composed of ABS plastic, the Cubic Switchplate might look like it has a depth of a few inches, though in reality only projects about 3 mm from the wall. Talk abut a space saver. Adding the illusion of depth without adding depth. Trip-tastic, dude. More image love after the jumple-rumple.
After reading the description of this maze, I’m still not sure I entirely understand it:
Have puzzles gone passé? With the advent and subsequent mainstreaming of videogames caused physical toys to go by the wayside? What do you get when you multiply six by nine? The answer to the first two questions is “No,” and the last, “42.”
What? I’m pretty sure that whoever created this puzzle was on drugs and had it in for other people on drugs. They might as well call this the “drugs puzzle” because the only way you’re solving it is on a boatload of, well, drugs. Glad we have an understanding.
So there’s not exactly a lot of background on this video but from what I can gather, this is a police officer’s dashcam capturing a meteor falling in the sky over Edmonton, Canada. It’s quite the sight to see, considering that I’d be thinking about complete Armageddon if the sky lit up like that around here. I have yet to see a decent meteor shower. Is that what they look like? That’s some scary looking shit.
Chik-fil-a. Let’s see. I think it was my second job when I was 14. Terrible experience if I recall, but the free food was a plus. Unfortunately, the kids toys always sucked. Since Chik-fil-a is a bible-thumping restaurant chain (never open on Sundays!), most of the crap children got in their Kids Meal was religious-based propaganda or a crappy book.
Looks like the company has done a 180-degree turn by partnering with the Kennedy Space Center. Science? What’s that?
Until November 22nd, you’ll be able to collect all four pieces of a space station that slightly resembles the ISS. Each part comes with cool trivia cards and even a $5 coupon that can be used at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Not too shabby! All Chik-fil-a needs to do is offer up Darwinian chicken nuggets and we’ll call it a day.
Remember the Keyboard Organizer? Perfect for the one guy at the office whose always got a cluttered desk. It’s a standard keyboard that comes in black or white that not only is a fully-functional keyboard, but also provides storage space underneath the keys. It’s like a utility box inside your keyboard.
Well, the storage space isn’t the only reason the Keyboard Organizer has been turning heads. The creators, myKeyO, are willing to customize your keyboard with a design of your choosing for just $49.95. You’ll never be caught at a LAN party with the same keyboard as anyone and to top it all off: it’s got a secret spot to stash your weed. Now you’ve got the edge.
Everyone has dreamed of traveling to space at one time or another. The problem is, no one wants to spend a fortune forcing themselves into a marriage just so they can get into space. So the finest Japanese minds are collectively collaborating the construction of an elevator into space. This vision has spurred the inspiration of many scientists around the world as well as government organizations such as NASA.
Now, several separate projects have launched and it has become a competition to see who can make the best carriages and tether for the lift. Could it really be possible to build an elevator whose “top floor” is outside of the Earth’s atmosphere? Scientists seem to think so. Until I see results, I’ll remain in the lobby: planet Earth.
I thought I was really into Star Trek. I have every episode from the original series and TNG as well as many articles of clothing and a beer bottle opener shaped like the Enterprise. However, Bob Prior’s passion and fanboy-ism for Star Trek far surpasses my own. He’s created Star Trek replicas from Rice Krispies boxes. From Kirk to Picard, Spock to LaForge, Bob has created over 50 models which include the Starship Enterprise, its command bridge and captains James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard. The funniest part of the whole thing is that his wife hates the show but has been putting up with his obsession all these years.
Says Bob:
“I’ve made models from the start – right through Deep Space Nine, Voyager and the films up to First Contact.”
Deep Space Nine? Ew! Now I know for sure he’s suffering from dementia.
