UPDATE: The bloke has done it! According to this report over at Boing-Boing, he has sold his flat for a whopping £425,000!  Here is how good of a designer this guy is: Reuters has a video up of an interior designer who had a little extra time on his hands and made his flat (eg […]

So you may have heard recently that the creators of South Park partnered with Microsoft to deliver an episode in HD since Comedy Central doesn’t broadcast in HD on the Xbox live platform.

Yep! Butterfly scales! The more I see of some of these photos the more I am in awe of the way God has built the universe. Since we are close to the Easter holiday, I thought it proper to post something along these lines.  Whatever your religious persuasion or leanings, I think it important to […]

Today’s NanoPhoto instantly makes sense once you know what it is… Velcro! Yep. Otherwise known as hook-and-loop material (sans copyright) and it is very interesting to see at the nano-level exactly how this wonder material works.
