Birthday Stars
Tell this site your birth date and it will find a star that is the same distance away in light years as your age. This means the light from the star has taken your entire lifetime to reach Earth! My star is (currently) 11 Leonis Minoris.

Gallery of metro architecture. They're all so interesting it took me ages to pick a photo for this post.
Pipecleaner Dancer
Colin at The Bogbrush entertained us at work today with this funky pipecleaner dancer.
Oh, and he was also grossing us all out with this virtual knee surgery.

HulaBike
I thought this looked fun - The HulaBike. (with video)
Instead of a conventional drivetrain, the HulaBike uses an eccentrically laced rear wheel. Because the hub is offset from the centre of the rim, the bike can be propelled by hopping up and down with the right rhythm. You may not get far on the HulaBike, but you'll have fun trying.

Magical Illusion
Video - Illusionists make 8 seamless costume changes in 2 minutes. I wish Derv could get ready to go out that quickly.
$100,000 Cigarette Pack
The world's most expensive cigarette pack.
The way things are going I don't think it will be long before an ordinary pack of cigs costs $100,000

Obituary
I'm mourning the sad passing of a work colleague today - Bert the apple. He was only with us for a short time but I feel we formed a special bond.
I really wanted to continue my friendship with Bert but -
A - He's starting to dissolve the top of my PC speakers
B - I'm scared he might give me some horrible flesh eating disease
C - My co-workers have been begging me to throw him out
D - He's stinking up the place

Dirty Computers
Gallery of very dirty computers. I'm ashamed to say the pic below is of my old heat sink (I'm not showing you the fan).
Time Fountain
The amazing time fountain (with video)
Put some fluorescent dye in water. Then feed it through a precise, micro-controlled pump so as to get a very regular stream of drops from the top of your apparatus. Then, turn the blacklight on, and start your strobelight. What you’ve just created is called The Time Fountain, and happens to be one of the trippiest DIY projects we’ve ever come across.
