30 Years Of Music.

I love graphs (not as much as Marshall does though).

This one highlights how we've purchased music over the last 30 years.

It's interesting to watch the CD's meteoric rise and it's eventual slide as digital music takes over.

Harry Potter Troll.

Sometimes, as a parent, you just want to mess with your kid's head. lol.

Golden Gate Bridge: 1937.

This amazing pic of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge was taken on it's opening day on May 27, 1937.

Construction began on January 5, 1933, it runs 1.7 mi (2.7 km) or 8,981 ft (2,737.4 m) and is 746 ft (227.4 m) high and 90 ft (27.4 m) wide.

It was designed by Joseph Strauss, Irving Morrow, and Charles Ellis.

Just another strip down memory lane....

Earth From Space.

If you think about it, the fact that we all live on a small ball in the middle of this vast universe and that we may be the only planet that supports life... ANYWHERE... can actually blow your mind.

To remind us of just how small, yet beautiful Earth can be, the crew in the International Space Station snapped this pic of sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

I hate thinking...

Slo-Mo Freerunning.

I'm always jealous of anyone that's remotely athletic.

This clip slows down the freerunning abilities of numerous gents to just 300 frames-per-second.

It's You.

It's You from karolina sobecka on Vimeo.

I'm not sure if I love this or that I'm totally creeped out by it.

This art creepy piece of technology was installed for the Born Digital exhibition in Raleigh, North Carolina.

According to the blurb on Vimeo:

"Projected figures crowd around something that they obscure from the pedestrian’s view. When the pedestrian stands behind them, as if to look over their shoulders, they step aside to allow him a view onto what they’re looking at. The pedestrian can now see part of the unfolding scene, and he obscures the view for the other pedestrians.

After the pedestrian has been in the interaction area for a period of time, the projected figures will turn to face him and focus their attention on him."

If you happen to be passing through Raleigh, check it out at 409 W Martin Street

Make Your Life Easier: Lifehacks.

I love finding a time saving device.  It's like a little undiscovered nugget of gold.

Pity I don't have the inclination to actually put these things into action. It's kind of like a To-Do List. I write one, but it just becomes another piece of scrap paper at the end of the day.

Mental Floss has put together an ace list of lifehacks that guarantee to blow your mind and save you time.

Like the one pictured.

Check out the list here.

Disneyland's Secret Apartment.

This is like porn for Disney fans... 

It was known that Walt Disney had a secret apartment built into Disneyland, but not many had actually bore witness to what was contained in his private quarters, located above the firehouse on Main Street.

His daughter, Diane Disney, has opened the doors to take us behind the scenes of Walt's secluded hideaway in this clip lifted from the Lady and the Tramp DVD.

Darth Hello Kitty Vader

Unfortunately these aren't real Hello Kitty designs that you can purchase, but rather are the mind creation of New Zealand based illustrator and art director Joseph Senior.

"I started these illustrations both as a tribute to George Lucas and my love of Star Wars, and as a way to occupy those rare quiet times," he writes.

His goal is to create 101 types of Hello Kitty, including Daft Punk (above right) along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Garfield versions.
