The installation is hand made over four years of hard work, complete with electrical lights and a moving train, all made of paper, by Wataru Itou, a young student of a major art university in Tokyo.

I’m impressed with myself when I make a chain of paper people.

The Sears Tower Skydeck opens its lure for thrill-seekers Thursday. It’s called the Ledge and it gives the illusion of standing on air a few feet outside the building, 103 stories off the ground.

I stood on the glass floor on the CN Tower and almost died. I think this would be very similar.

RunPee.com lists movies that are currently in movie theatres and when we think would be the best time to RunPee during those films.

This way you not only know when to go but can also find out what you’ll be missing

They now have an iPhone app, but unfortunately they also have an entire website made in Flash.

It dawned on me at about 4am last night when I was finishing my review that 2500 words might not be enough to fully describe the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen experience.

Additionally, I really didn’t get much into the plot, as I was so busy explaining why it was a fundamentally shitty movie. So I took a little time to interview myself about the movie’s story in order to help you understand what RotF is all about.

This is a brilliant self-interview which puts the entire movie into perspective.

Ultimaterec.com had their first Ultimate Frisbee games of the season.

Along with taking a handful of photos, I filmed half an hour of the game and made a five minute highlight reel.

The more I use iMovie ‘09 the more I am impressed with it. It’s amazing that a piece of software like that is available in a $79 software pack.

Everyone knows that the stork delivers babies, but where do the storks get the babies from?

Partly Cloudly is Pixar’s latest short film which plays before Up.

I highly suggest you watch it since it’s brilliant.

Gummi Bears live short lives, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have health problems and will occasionally need some care. There are times when these delicate bears will even need to go under the knife.

The heart and brain transplants are my favorite.

Sport Science — Happy Gilmore.

Professional golfer Padraig Harrington tests out whether the Happy Gilmore golf swing works.

This is just awesome.

Every item at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch went on sale.

Some of these are so creepy and will be giving me nightmares.

Food doesn’t soak up the alcohol but it does increase your metabolism helping you deal with the after-effects of over indulgence. So food will often help you feel better.

Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good.

Like bacon needs another reason to be eaten.

What I really want is for the DiggBar to just die a horrible death.

For those who want to simply kill the DiggBar and put those visitors directly to your content, no blocking, no messaging, no other stuff… just add these three lines of Javascript to the top of your page.

I think this is the best method of killing the Diggbar and still letting people who were linked to you, from Digg, view your content.

In short, all it does is checks if the browser’s URL is digg.com/xxxx and if it is it’ll set the browser’s URL to your content’s.

If there’s a formula to Apple’s success over the past 10 years, that’s it. Start with something simple and build it, grow it, improve it, steadily over time. Evolve it.

The iPhone exemplifies this strategy. There’s a long list of features many experts and pundits claimed the original 1.0 iPhone needed but lacked. Ends up it didn’t need any of them. Nice to have is not the same thing as necessary. But things the iPhone did have, which other phones lacked, truly were necessary in terms of providing the sort of great leap forward in the overall experience that Apple was shooting for.

An excellent piece in regards to the iPhone as a platform.

We’ve felt the pain of getting website designs to work correctly across different browsers. Not to mention designing email newsletters that work on all email clients.

Litmus makes compatibility testing easier.

I’m embarrassed to say that I only found Litmus today. It’s brilliant and the Coda plugin is really handy.

To watch YouTube videos without the comments and crap, just drag the button below to your browser toolbar. On any YouTube page, click the bookmark button to watch in peace.

You can then make short URLs too, to send the quietube version to your friends. Easy as.

Very similar to Readbility, but for YouTube.

I don’t see it since I use adblocking software, but the one thing I don’t like about it is the fact that they have a banner advert below the video.

With the whole facebook terms of service fiasco recently there has been a lot of talk about terms of service.

Aviary — an online image editor — has setup their terms of service page to have the regular legalese but also a nice plain-english bullet list on the right which explains what each legalese paragraph means.

This is how companies should write their terms of service. Maybe people would actually read them, know what they’re agreeing too, and then not freak out when they find out what they actually agreed to.

… Actually, never mind, no one will read these; no matter how readable they are.
