Behold, the awesome power of a fully operational mothershipReprobates blog.

Great list of lists on McSweeney's - like this one, this one, and, ooh, how about this one.

These guys are my heroes, even if they didn't come up with this.

Rotary neck cleaner. Whole tree shredding. Pork stomach splitter. Material handling. Leaf lard puller starter. Rotating shroud. Bung dropper. Automobile shredding. Lung gun. Stump grinding. Electric beef stimulator

Today, it's just a blog post. Twenty years ago these could have been the ingredients for a cutting-edge Butthole Surfers concert film.

A bunch of cunts.

SketchUp - cool as hell 3D solid-modelling program for Windows and Mac; company was bought by Google last year, looking forwards to seeing what that might entail for the future (such as lower personal license prices maybe?). In the meantime - get an 8-hour trial license and have some fun.

Old and busted - fake tilt-shift pictures, the new hotness - HDR. Also here.

The team of physicists also analyzed time-reversal properties for short-lived evanescent waves that occur at forbidden frequencies in the phononic crystal. The evanescent waves exhibited surprisingly good time compression, showing that – despite the absence of hyperfocusing – time reversal focusing is still possible in highly ordered media.
