If you love yourself, your kid, your house, your life, you should have a helicopter ceiling fan in your house. We've seen
aviation inspired ceiling fans before (

Five dollars does not always equal five dollars. Well, I mean, it does but you could definitely stretch your dollar better in another country. Take bananas, for example, $5 gets you 8.5 pounds of it in America but $5 in Ethiopia gets you a whopping 25 pounds of bananas! And more importantly: beer. In China you can get a 12-pack for $5 bucks. Try getting that in America (you only get 4 beers for the same Lincoln). At least we're not as expensive as Australia, right? [

We've seen planes create
a fiery vortex in the sky before, but here's a more peaceful version of it happening in real time. It's majestically beautiful. The wingtip vortices formed when an Airbus A340 landed at Zurich Airport on a foggy night. Though it looks gorgeous, vortices can be pretty dangerous.

Google's New York City office has something that every office in America needs: secret rooms hidden by swiveling bookshelves. If you're not in the know, you wouldn't know it existed. But if you do have Batman access at Google, you can pull the correct book and expose a whole 'nother world. Or something like that.

It's every generation's responsibility to grow old and become cranky at the next generation while talking about how growing up back then was so much more fun than growing up today. THESE KIDS KNOW NOTHING. All they do is stare at iPads and play crappy games by swiping on giant phones. At least we 90's kids stared at televisions and played crappy board games by tapping a plastic button, right?

Earlier today we
talked about the Living Building Challenge, a certification system that rates the sustainability of a building over the course of a year. Here's a follow-up about

Remember when you were in preschool, sitting around in a circle, whispering a message from person to person until it reached the last kid in the chain and was completely different? As part of his "Digital Humor Theory" thesis, Pratt Institute graduate student Micahael J. Silber did just that with Siri's text-to-voice and Google's voicemail transcription services—50 times in a row. Here's how he describes the four step process:

While we'll still
have to wait a bit for Lytro powers to come to our smartphones on a hardware level, we can at least approximate the neat little camera's refocusing powers with what we've already got. And this is where FocusTwist for iOS steps in.

These Airmen sure make jumping out of the back of massive transport helicopter under the roar of spinning rotors look good. It looks like they're just chilling up there standing on air. They're defying physics—with the help of a photographer, of course.

Teotihuacan, an ancient, abandoned city about an hour north of Mexico City, was once one of the largest cities in the world. It collapsed in the centuries ago (thanks either to an internal uprising or foreign invaders, depending on who you ask), but it's never been completely deserted, since the ruins have always been a magnet for squatters, archeologists, and hordes of tourists.

The most important—and expensive—coffee gadget for a home cupper is a burr grinder. Good coffee requires even extraction, and no matter how many fancy coffee makers you own, if you're not using a burr grinder, you won't be able to achieve the consistent grinds necessary for most coffee recipes, especially if you want to make good
third-wave espresso at home. For coffee people, Baratza's line of stepped burr grinders are the preferred home grinders.
