Astronomers are discovering that water, and life, might exist on many planets where conditions are very different from those on Earth. “It’s like science fiction, only better.” * Yesterday’s organ transplant story might never have happened due to overzealous airline security. The day was saved by last minute charter from a German surgeon with his own jet. * Shea Gunther drank 17 cans of energy drinks in seven days in order to bring you reviews ...

Sadly this doesn't have "I am become death, the bringer of MP3s" inscribed upon it—it'd chime nicely with the ohmygod tackiness of the Digital Skull Belt Buckle. It's in fact so terrible it's wonderful: A metal belt-buckle in the shape of a skull with interchangeable modules in a cutout in the forehead. One's a cheesy flashing LED light panel, the other's a 1GB MP3 and video media-player that can also be a digital photoframe and ...

From UK born artist Chris Gilmour comes these amazing cardboard bicycles. I consider myself pretty skillful with the xacto knife, but these sculptures are truly incredible. In an interview of Chris posted on his website, he explains the reasons behind his choice of objects: There has been a progression in the choice of objects portrayed, which go from smaller domestic items (like the moka or the typewriter) to objects which are larger and belong to ...

They're known for horse racing, birds and nature, but Arcadia has another claim to fame as one of the BusinessWeek's Best Places to Raise Your Kids 2009. Based on a variety of factors from school performance to diversity and air quality, considered cities had to have at least 50,000 residents and a median family income between $40,000 and $100,000. "Wouldn't exactly say Arcadia is 'affordable'--much of the homes start at $1 million. The high schools ...

RimmerExperience writes "Hard to believe that Mystery Science Theater 3000 is 20 years old. This NY Times article provides a brief synopsis from the humble but inspired beginnings in a Midwest TV studio, to the making of MST3K: The Movie, to what the creators are up to today.

I know a lot of people who read a load of productivity blogs, but they aren’t really productive, and organized. They want to be, but they start out with a method they read about, fail with it, and move on to the next. While it is obviously not a good idea to change methods after an initial failure, the real reason for the many long faces I see regarding all the productivity tips out there ...
