Summer Cooling Spray: This Is Just Too Cool
Today it's unbelievably hot here in Stockholm. I am trying to keep cool by the computer; however, it feels more like I'm sitting in jam packed server room without air conditioning to be honest.

I've had a blast watching all the tweets about Comic-Con this week. If you go Twitter Search and put in #ComicCon, you'll see a never-ending stream of tweets flowing that are funny, witty and weird.

Crop Field Portraits Way Better Than The Harry Potter One
About a week ago, I wrote about the Harry Potter crop portrait created by a farmer. It was impressive to say the least, and there must have been a lot of work that went into creating that one.
