Jul 29, 9:28AM
With fewer and fewer computers packing an optical drive, you might be under the impression that the accompanying media is dead. Not if you're to believe Sony and Panasonic, who are planning to develop a next-gen optical disc with capacity of at least 300GB.

Kinja user David Pickett claims the Spider-man vs Doctor Ock short below is technically one of the best Lego stop-motion animations ever, probably tied with the one above—Star Wars: The Han Solo Affair.

The Beach Boys: Sloop John B
Jul 29, 1:00AM
I was just in a Beach Boys mood tonight, but there are so many options that it was hard to choose. Sloop John B stands out because it's catchy, dark and relatable. It's a folk song from early 1900s sailors in the West Indies after all. And there comes a time in every person's life when you just have to shake your head, turn to the person, animal, boulder or spirit guide next to you and say, "This is the worst trip I've ever been on." [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

This Psychedelic Fever Dream Is Made Of Ink, Soap And Oil
Jul 29, 12:02AM
You may not interact with ink as much as you used to, but you have to give it credit for powering millions of pens and a crap ton of printing. We still consume a lot of media that exists because of ink. And a good way to celebrate it might be to just let it flow and see what happens. Ruslan Khasanov, a Russian graphic designer, felt the same way so he mixed ink, oil and soap to make this trippy and awesome video called Pacific Light. Khasanov was inspired when he watched black beads of soy sauce form in oil while he was cooking. There are great stills and gifs on his Behance. Kind of makes me long for a tie die comeback.

If You Don't Live For Billions Of Years You're Gonna Miss Out
Jul 28, 10:55PM
The average human lifespan is a lot longer than it used to be. But we're barely into triple digits here and if we individually want to see anything awesome we're gonna have to stick around for a few degrees of magnitude longer. That immortality thing or whatever. Why haven't we done that again?

This Robot Can Draw Your Blood
Jul 28, 10:13PM
Some people are champs about having blood drawn and even go back as often as they're allowed to donate blood. If you're one of those people that's frickin great. Go pat yourself on the back. If not you are probably thinking that you don't want a robot coming anywhere near you with a needle. But the robot might actually be the better bet.

The Strangest Installations and Art Projects on Earth
Jul 28, 8:50PM
"If someone ever catches you burying a murder victim," an eerily confident artist once told us, "quickly reassure them that it's for an art project. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, it's enough to get them quickly off your case."
Art pieces like these are why that advice rings so true.

A Plastic iPhone Called The 5C May Really Be On Its Way
Jul 28, 8:38PM
This image from Chinese blog WeiPhone looks like a bunch of Apple packaging in a bin. But folks it's so much more! Oh, no, actually that's exactly what it is. No one has been able to legitimize the photo yet, and it could just show some knockoff packaging, but the nomenclature makes sense at least. If the aluminum body upgrade that seems probable for September/October is called the 5S, a cheaper plastic model (also heavily rumored) could be called the 5C where C stands for "color". . . or something.

A Shark Sharpener Makes Knives Extra Menacing By Association
Jul 28, 7:27PM
Maybe scary things just go together? Why else would this shark and knife look so right? Created by the design studio Propaganda, this sharpener is aptly named "Jaws" and has a no-slip bottom for stability. It may not be super heavy duty, but if you just have a few kitchen knives it's a good option for giving them a refresh every few months.

What's The Most Water Damage You've Ever Done To A Gadget?
Jul 28, 6:02PM
I think we all know the drill by now. When you drop your phone in the toilet or get pushed into a pool with it in your pocket, it has to go in a bowl of rice. And then there's the moment of truth where you try to power it on and it either works or it doesn't. Dems da breaks until more gadget makers wake up and waterproof.

Jul 28, 5:04PM
Sometimes you realize that the shorts you put on don't actually have pockets or that the pockets on your jacket are really inaccessible. And then your day is ruined. If you had a t-shirt with a clear plastic gadget pocket this would never have been an issue. Obviously.

You Can Make Beautiful Abstract Art With The Google Maps API
Jul 28, 4:11PM
Google Maps offers a lot of tools for developers (or anyone!) to work with, visualize and customize the existing service. And a lot of cool maps, infographics and tools come out of the APIs. But sometimes it's nice to take something like the topographical data and move it in a totally different direction. Like maybe art?

Jul 28, 1:36PM
People have been talking about running cars on water for years, but it's a slow march from science fiction to reality. Even on a small scale, development is difficult. But the i-H2GO is the second revision of an all-water remote controlled car that seems to actually work.

Jul 27, 11:26PM
Being a parent demands certain sacrifices. You sleep less than you used to. Your schedule is no longer your own. You become intimate with another human being's poop. And sometimes, just sometimes, you listen to lullaby versions of songs you sort of liked when they first came out 10 years ago.

Jul 27, 10:13PM
There's no question that the most boring part of any football game is waiting for the referees to respond to a coach's challenge. But the agony of the endless replay is going to ease up at least a little bit this season, with NBC's Matrix-style 360-degree replays giving us plenty of space-aged eye candy to fill the time.

Photos Look Magical When You Develop Them With Stuff You Shouldn't
Jul 27, 9:50PM
Photography is like anything else in life; there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. It just so happens, though, that in this case the wrong way yields way more satisfying results. Matthew Cetta has made striking photographs by abusing his film with everything from absinthe to turpentine. And you can't tear your eyes away.

Jul 27, 9:48PM
An incredible fact from a fascinating new Buzz Aldrin interview: the Saturn V was only making 7 inches to the gallon at the moment of launch. Of course, the fuel economy improves dramatically when you actually take into consideration the entire distance travelled.

An Experimental Fuel Rod Coating Could Prevent the Next Fukushima
Jul 27, 7:30PM
The 2011 meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, triggered by an earthquake and tsunami, has created an ongoing environmental and public health crisis. Nuclear experts say that the greatest radiation-releasing damage to the plant may have been caused by the explosion of built-up hydrogen as the plant overheated. Now, MIT researchers have developed a new coating for nuclear fuel rods they say prevents precisely that explosive situation.
