Cool Stuff

Random stuff that I like and think my readers might enjoy.

10,000 Hours…

This is so cool – someone’s specifically testing the 10,000 hour idea in his efforts to go from 30-year-old commercial photographer and golfing novice to pro golfer. Dan of “The Dan Plan”started in April of 2010, and is about 2,400 hours into the project, and blogging the experience every step of the way.

His about page also says that “Through his journey Dan hopes to inspire others to start exploring the possibilities life affords them.”

Very cool!

Alan Tudyk rocks!

And so did everyone else in Tucker and Dale vs. Evil :-D

Highly recommended for fans of silly movies and horror spoofs!

Cool links for you!

100 Artists

Too cool!

Also: 100 Artists Rolled into One Man

(Edit: The numbered, limited edition version of the biennial book is $1000, but I emailed to ask and Mr. Hembrey wrote back that if there is enough interest there could be a publishing house version of the book in a more affordable price point. :) Here’s hoping!)

A strange but lovely story…

“If Dragon’s Mass Eve Be Cold And Clear” by Ken Scholes

Gingerbread!

I love the Cake Wrecks website.

And I really, really love their Sunday Sweets feature.

Cellos, Star Wars, strangely awesome. :)

I like it, anyway. :) Be sure to go check out their website, where you can download the MP3.

On an entirely different note, I got lazy about the spam filter for my comments and let it get up to over 200… so I just deleted them all without looking. If you’ve commented, and it hasn’t shown up, please try again or send me a quick email. Thanks!

Cool stuff!

Just ’cause I love you. :)

Yeti Crab

Deep-sea yeti crabs farm their bacterial food on their own arms.

A sandwich that stays fresh up to two years?

And finally, Six people who gained amazing skills after brain injuries.

Too amazing not to share!

I felt like I was watching a Cirque du Soleil show!

Thanks to John Scalzi for the link. :)
