Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up:

TNT is back with their stunts:

Musical port-a-potties.  Yes, you read that right.

Recordings are being made of Holocaust survivors, via hologram.  This is a great idea.

This is a cool idea: bringing the beach into your office.

Beautiful wood cityscapes:

Unplggd has an awesome article about repairing broken cords (power, usb, etc).  Check it out.

Ever wonder just exactly what are continents?  The answer may surprise you:

I’ve talked a little bit about this guy before, and he’s awesome.  Heaven help my future children, I”m totally doing this.

I just found a new youtube channel called MinutePhysics.  it’s pretty cool, watch their take on Schrodinger’s Cat:

Need filler text, but don’t want to use the normal, boring Jabberwocky or Lorem Ipsum?  Check out these alternatives.

This is really cool, and a cool way to entertain and inform those in the subway system in Osaka:

I think these are finally porting their way over to Facebook once again, so that’s good.  More updates to the site later this week as well, have a great one!



Couple neat things to share today.  First up, check out this awesome interactive view of the universe.  It takes a minute to load, but pretty awesome.

The Good Men Project has a recurring feature where they examine outrageous stock photography.  This installment: Men looking puzzled at newspapers.

Apparently, a Japanese researcher thinks he can clone a Woolly Mammoth in four years.  I want one!

And in (dis)honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. day, someone turned one of the most famous speeches of all time…into a PowerPoint.  Kinda funny, and sad when you realize how good PowerPoint presentations really can be (and yes, that’s the point)

That’s it for now, have a great one!
