Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what we have today, first up, the sequel:

Amazing photos from when we detonated a nuclear warhead underwater.

Interactive light sculptures.

I think this is smart, flash drives that are tied to your fingerprint.

I try not to give their hate any publicity, but this is a great video:

This looks like something Dr. Seuss came up with, and it plays music for hospital patients.

This is probably only interesting to me, but the typography manual from the MTA from the 1970’s has surfaced

A bicycle bridge that hovers over major intersection

Beautiful photography of light streaks:

Some great Valentine’s Day cards

Hiking boots with a hidden fire starting kit, which is a great idea!

That’s it for now, have a great one!



Couple quick items for you today, check it out:

I’ve seen this before, but never with this much of a demo.  We knew it was only a matter of time:

This is an NYT article about a cool service connecting kids to useful accurate sex ed (text messaging, of course).  However, here’s the really scary sentence:

Sex education is a thorny subject for most school systems; only 13 states specify that the medical components of the programs must be accurate.

I don’t ever know how to react to that.  Rage?  Disbelief?  Do I cry or laugh, I just freaking don’t know.

And speaking of craziness and sex, did you know that Louie Vuitton (I remember in my advertising class, being one of two guys, and we both had to ask who that was), makes condoms.  And they cost $68 each.

Banksy has done a sculpture, this time, to remember the victims of the abuse of the Catholic church.  It’s an awesome piece, entitled Cardinal Sin.

Also across the pond, the Louvre is going to be offering a program where people can use their 3DS’s to take tours.  Pretty awesome!

Graph time:

And just for fun, forgot to add this graphic:

 

Remember, voting is every American’s right.  There shouldn’t be roadblocks to it (take for instance, the Iowa Republican caucuses, which have no ID requirements like those proposed around the country, although apparently in Virginia, you have to sign an oath saying you’ll vote Republican in the general election).

That’s it for this update, but I’ll be back with more soon!
