Cute Crocheted Craft: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A few years ago, crocheting, knitting and needle felting were thought of as hobbies for grandmas. We didn't hear much about trendy designs created this way, and surely no hipster or geek would be caught dead with a pair of knitting needles. However, all of that has changed now, and these styles of c ...
The World’s Only Female 10th Degree Black Belt (She’s 98)
I love celebrating the life victories of strong and successful women. I especially like to do this when they break a belief barrier. When that happens, our perspective changes, and we start to truly believe that anything is possible. Take beauty and age for example. There has long been a myth that o ...
Historical Lives Illustrated In Minimalistic Pictures
I'm stepping over into Richard's territory a little bit with this article. He is an extraordinary designer, and he writes about minimalist design a lot. According to him, it's much more difficult and requires a lot more creativity to make an effective minimalist design when compared to a fancy busy ...
Giant R2-D2: Best College Observatory Prank Ever
I sometimes miss those days in school when we could pull epic pranks on our classmates or teachers and actually get away with it. Nowadays, there are always repercussions to our actions, and even though we humbly point out that it was just for fun, we can always expect there to be retaliation. Then ...
The Ferrari Of Tomorrow Is Beyond Insane
No matter what the economy looks like, there will always be people in the world who apparently have enough money to spend on luxury items that other people would only dream of just standing in the same room with. We see it on the news over and over again about billionaires who build billion dollar y ...
Dice Figures: Portraying The Human Body Using Only Dice
When I was a young boy and went to school like every other dedicated student, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons during the breaks. I was in a group of people who regularly got together to kick some butt. One of us was the dungeon master dealing us all what we could take. It was a magical time, a ...
Crazy Optical Illusion: Creates Picassos In Your Peripherals
An undergraduate student at The University of Queensland, Sean Murphy, discovered something vey interesting about the way our eyes perceive information. Actually, I don't know if interesting is the right way to describe it. It's really grotesque and scary. One person on Reddit described it as creati ...
New World Record: Largest Comic Strip Ever Created
Just this past weekend, a group of students in France decided they were going to snag the new world record for the largest comic strip ever created. However, if you know about the Guinness Book of World Records, you know it's no joke. There are very specific rules each person or group in that book h ...
Sink Your Ship With The Battleship Drinking Game
Hmm... I can't decide if this looks like fun or if it would be a puking disaster. Brazilian design student, Mauricio (Tony) Harion, created this new version of the classic Battleship game. It's for adults only, and it's called Enigma - Battleship Drinking Game.
According to Coroflot, "It's played ...
World’s Largest Working NES Controller
At first, I titled this article "World's Largest NES Controller." I had to go back and add the word "Working" because unlike many of the huge goofy NES controllers we've seen in the past, this one is actually functional! It's so big that the only way to control it is to stand on the buttons. Now the ...

Twitter Actually Increases Your Overall Grades [Infographic]
There is a common perception in the world that Twitter, Facebook and every other social networking site is bad for us. The main argument is that when we first try it out, we will probably get sucked in, and a lot of our more important tasks during our day suffer from it. The addiction level of socia ...
Existential Photography: I Am More Than My Face
As you know, I'm on a photography kick lately, and I'm loving every minute of it. So far this week, I've been writing one photography post per day to feature a unique technique or creative view of self-expression. It's been a blast to choose what to showcase each day. I don't know how long I'll cont ...
How To: Make A Mathematically Correct Bagel
Do you know of people who think in terms of math equations all the time? I used to be that way. I've mentioned before that I dropped out of art class in high school so I could take an advanced calculus class instead. Now I'm just a geek, but back when I was a super geek, I used to think of everythin ...
Creative Skull Crafted From Real Human Brains
This seems like a no brainer, doesn't it? What better material could an artist use to make a skull than human brains? In this particular case, skull artist Noah Scalin used pickled and preserved brain slices to be exact.
Before you immediately think this is morbid (which I also did at first), aft ...
Combating Global Warming: Simple Action Steps
I read something the other day that said most people don't understand what global warming is. The phrase itself, "global warming," has been used so much in so many different contexts over the past few decades that a lot of the meaning in those words has lost its punch.
In the spirit of bringing a ...
