Nature by Numbers
•April 5, 2015 • Leave a CommentThis neat 3D animated infographic illustrates the complexity of nature to the naked eye, through the simplicity of one mathematical equation. I’m sure everyone touched on Fibonacci and the golden ratio sequence back in high school, but I bet no one actually took in how amazing it was. I know I didn’t.

13 Mind-Bending Thoughts About Photography
•April 3, 2015 • Leave a CommentThese revelations about photography may cause your brain to explode, that, or it may just be an enlightening insight into something we all take for granted — photography:
And for those budding and expert photographers alike looking to compose well framed photographs, here is Photojournalist Steve McCurry (most famous for his piercing portrait of the Afghan Girl, featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine), with a simple how-to video about the Rule of Thirds, framing, pattern-spotting and more:
Albert Einstein Portrait Made of Dice
•April 2, 2015 • Leave a Comment
This is an impressive, 25 lb. (roughly 11 kilograms) portrait of Albert Einsten made from 2200 dice by programmer Joshie196. “A year or two ago, I wanted to make a program that converted any images into dice. I went ahead and made a neat program, but left it at that,” he says in a Reddit thread. “About 2 months ago…I decided I wanted to actually try and make one of the mosaics that it produced. I ordered some dice from China and happily waited, and the rest you can see.”
“As I have said so many times, God doesn’t play dice with the world.” ~ Albert Einstein
Geographer “I’m Ready” [♬]
•March 31, 2015 • Leave a CommentI have been singing along/shouting to this song’s hook on my way to uni for the past week now. Not sure why, but for such reasons, there are times I wish I had a megaphone. I can’t help myself, OK; “I’m ready” has a simple and really catchy hook:

Interpol “Everything Is Wrong” [music video]
•March 28, 2015 • Leave a CommentInterpol is a great band. Can’t believe this is my first mention of them on here. 2002’s ‘Turn On the Bright Lights’ was a good debut album, but it wasn’t until 2004’s ‘Antics’ that I became a fan. ‘Everything Is Wrong’ is from their new, fifth studio album ‘El Pintor’, you may wish to purchase here: http://smarturl.it/interpolelpintor
Hmmm…Time, man…
Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Make My Movie Challenge!
•March 24, 2015 • Leave a Comment
Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg (born 18 October 1960), professionally and universally known as Jean-Claude Van Damme, and abbreviated as JCVD for some, has starred in well over 57 action packed movies, and as of last month, countless, uncredited, more, from the cool to the down right illogically absurd. You see, funnyordie.com held a competition with the only rule being, the movie had to include their set of royalty free green-screen footage featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme doing some generic actiony stuff:
As you can imagine, many jumped at the opportunity. Some were funny, some not so much, but with the presence of JCVD, they were all mini epics on a scale of their own:
Something else I just discovered while searching for funnyordie footage of this guy popping up on random YouTube videos; is that Jean Claude Van Damme was the original stuntman for Predator! His contribution has been noted:
And for those who need a little reminding of Jean-Claude‘s badassery:
…Amazing.
