The acrobatic and martial arts of the Shaolin warriors, while awesome to behold, can be greatly appreciated in slow motion, when you realize the sheer coordination that must go into these complex acts with milliseconds worth of reaction time.
The Internet Summed Up
This little comic is a modified version of the original C&H comic that has an excellent take on spam.
Nixie Tube Thermometer
Nixie tubes are awesome. They’ve got the whole glowy, shining thing going around, and while they may be past their heyday, nothing is going to beat them in looks. This thermometer can show temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and also displays humidity. Costs $180.
Partial Lunar Eclipse in Multiple Exposure
April 25 saw a partial lunar eclipse that photographer Tamas Ladanyi captured in this sweet multiple exposure image. Ladanvi captured the 27-minute long event as it happened over Tihany, Hungary.
Vintage-Style Lamp Made From Reclaimed Materials
Vintage themed lamps and objects that artist Cory Barkman (previously) creates, come from a very elaborate process. The stunning design and the beautiful appearance are of course, a big part of the job, but the story of materials used in making these lamps is impressive in itself. Most of the objects used in the construction of these lamps are reclaimed mechanical parts from a scrap yard. Once the idea takes its shape, Cory looks for parts suitable for his lamps or forges a part if it cannot be found.
Viking Hammock, Because Badass Isn’t Exclusive of Luxury
Relaxing as hammocks are, they get way better when you can add the prospects of luxury. Viking Hammock by Jim Zivic gets a luxurious, perhaps rustic setting that endeavors to add to it the Viking name. It does live up to the name, with a look that has a certain something going about it we can’t put a finger on, but what we would never call tame.

A party trick like this in your arsenal would make you hot, popular and probably put you in a place to solve problems like hunger and world peace.

World Gets Its First 3-D Printed Gun, Starts Shooting
3D tech is getting awesome by the day and is now headed straight to consumer use. Of the hell lot of things that we’ll be printing soon, guns apparently will be one. Designed by Defense Distributed, this is the first full 3-D printed gun in the world, which for some reason has been named The Liberator. It’s obviously not really ready for combat, or for that matter not even a safe weapon given the fair chance that it might explode. Although it pretty much goes to show the power of 3D printing.
Mac Mail Box
The old mac not working good enough? Well, it might be time to let the dude retire and move on to some other job, probably see the world. What the Mac didn’t see coming was that its “seeing the world” would have it perched up on a short stick, getting paper thrown into its guts. Might be a disheartening end to the story of the Mac, but you know what, that was all that it ever wanted. That pointless rambling being over, hit ahead to see a few more creative mailboxes, this time, presented without ramblings.
Gaming Aprons
Let your kitchen chores know you mean business by donning video game aprons that make a distant appeal to the characters they represent. Still better than the usual fare, I guess.
