A week or so ago I posted some pictures of a Discworld Cake, but today I found something WAY cooler then that. It’s real art, as far as I’m concerned. This is a Yoda Cake! Ever since I installed the StumbleUpon toolbar I came across several great things on the instructables.com website. It’s a great place to become inspired!
You can find more pictures and the story here.

This video illustrates my love for neuroscience perfectly. I really like Oliver Sacks’ work and the way he shares his cases. The passion he has for his work really comes across. Enjoy the video!
I know Oliver Sacks is American, but I can now hear he has an eastern accent, he sounds almost British. It only occurred to me he talks like this after my visit to Boston.

English band Muse was asked to lip sync their performance on a Italian TV show. That’s exactly what they did: the singer was fake drumming, the drummer was doing vocal duties and the bassist was doing “guitar” and “keyboard”. That’s hilarious enough, but oddly enough nobody in the studio noticed the joke. The hostess had no clue who was playing, since she announces the group as “The Muse”, which is not how they are called. Painful.

Since the day I’ve started reading the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, I’m a huge fan. Especially the older books are cleverly written and the whole concept of a discworld with dice playing gods is brilliant! I also love baking and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this webpage which describes how to make a Discworld Cake. The page the cake is displayed on is just a plain html coded page with no way of Search Engine Optimatisation. Therefore I post it here and link back to the site, because this piece of art has to gain more visibility:

Some animals have another face we normally never see. Who knew that porcupines could be this cute? God’s creation never fails to amaze me. What a wonderful thing to live on this amazing planet with amazing wildlife!

Recently I installed Stumble Upon in my browser and I love it. It brings you to all kinds of cool sites you normally wouldn’t find. At gawker.com I stumbled upon this awesome video. It seems boring at first, but wait 2 minutes and then the cool stuff starts!
