One of the Christmas gifts I got last year that I’m still enjoying is a Mythbusters desk calender.  Todays was an interesting fact I thought I’d share.

I ran across the below picture. And believe it or not it wasn’t on purpose. I’d love to see what they say about it.
The area was logged after the trees fell over in a wind storm. The shape of the logging was unintentional. The photo was taken by the photographer as he flew [...]

Designer Jamie Wieck has truly come up with something unique in a business card.  A business card that if gotten wet will grow…
The result was a business card that worked like a miniature house-plant, growing alfalfa or cress when dipped in water - a business card for ‘another bloomin’ designer’.

I normally don’t like nature fills.  They seem predictable, food like animal wanders by unsuspecting and soon a preditor coms and slips out a weak injured or youngster and is fed.  Well that’s what I expected when I ran across the video.
Teaser Alert - At first you’re all like “whoa, watch out buffaloes, there’s lions [...]

Tucked into cool recesses of erosion-carved caves high above Arizona’s Tonto Basin stand long deserted cliff dwellings of the ancient Salado people. From about A.D. 1050 until approximately 1450, the Salado culture thrived in this valley where the Tonto Creek joins the Salt River. Around 1300, people of the Salado culture spread out from the [...]
