Dancing Frog Legs

 Apparently if you skin frog legs and then salt them, they move.  My inner 12-year-old boy approves.

The Eye of the Beholder

One woman, 25 photoshop jobs from different countries.

You look fine.  It is physically impossible to please everyone because they all want different things.  This project just makes that more dramatically visible.

Lego Fusion

Lego has introduced three toy sets which interface between physical and virtual play.  Faaaaaascinating. The idea is to build something with bricks, then transfer that into a manipulable model in cyberspace.  This has terrific potential for architects, scientists, and other folks who often transport their imagination from one layer of reality to another.  I'm sure folks will figure out some practical applications for this after fooling around with it for a little while.  In the meantime, it's awesome fun.
