- Giant Robots! A 22-foot tall styrofoam robot, and Honda's 49-foot tall Asimo for the Rose Bowl Parade (via DVICE). Cool.
- BBC's 100 Things We Didn't Know Last Year. Bears carrying ammunition, toaster banning, and sinking pears. Wild.
- Shakespeare Howls. Cocktail napkins celebrating booze and sexism. It's like "Mad Men", with Shakespeare providing the dialog.
- World Superhero Registry. Active, real-life superheroes. Sure, why not?
- NPR segment on the Wine People, the folks who do the "Tastings" column for Wall Street Journal. I heard this segment and it was entertaining and fun, also including some great wine recommendations.
- Trailer for movie "Chandni Chowk To China". This looks awesome!
- "Red Star, Winter Orbit", a story by William Gibson and Bruce Sterline (Wikipedia entry, story itself). For some reason, I had this story on my mind a while back so here it is.
- Stanford Engineering Everywhere. Introductory Engineering courses, online, for free! Time to learn some new things.
- Itzabitza, a very cute kids drawing-learning-engineering game. Meant to get this for Christmas, might just have to pick it up anyway.
- Article on LittleBigPlanet, a game that lets you make games. Looks pretty sweet.
- How Caramel Developed a Taste for Sale (from NY Times). Less about the specific combination and more about how cultural food trends develop.
