Jan 04, 5:00PM
There's no better time than the new year to start afresh, and today, we ask you to turn your attention not within but without. More specifically, it's your Twitter and Facebook friends we need to talk about. That's right—it's time to trim the fat.

Labelmaking Enthusiasts, This Is Your Apollo 11
Jan 04, 2:00PM
Unless you're obsessively organized, or love the iconic aesthetics of the old-school manual models, it's really hard to muster much excitement for a labelmaker. But somehow Epson has managed to create the perfect tiny printer for the smartphone age. For the casual user it's finally an easy way to bring a little bit of order into their lives, and for the obsessive labeller it's pretty much the equivalent of landing on the moon.

The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Symmetry

What all the fancy code in movie computer sequences actually mean
Jan 04, 1:44AM
Hey look, it's an actor looking at some computer code in a movie. He must be really smart! He must be a computer hacker! He must be able to take over the world with just his keyboard! Not quite. The code used in movies is usually nothing but some mumbo jumbo on Wordpress or Wikipedia. No, seriously. That image above showing The Doctor looking at code is a SVG file of a light wave taken from Wikipedia.

Jan 04, 12:30AM
The Eastern seaboard is getting some serious snow, and even though we live here in 2014—the future—we're still reduced to shoveling. Ugh. This wasn't how it was supposed to be.

Jan 03, 11:46PM
A regular old skateboard isn't fun enough for you? What about nine skateboards attached to each other to form a complete circle skateboard? It's the goofiest way to move on wheels since your chance of falling off is infinitely more likely and well, just look at the damn thing.

Mmmm, Beer: Watch 12,400 Gallons of Barleywine Wort Ferment, Get Wild
Jan 03, 11:00PM
What you are about to watch is beer getting weird. Before California-based brewery Sierra Nevada bottles Bigfoot, its classic barleywine-style ale, the wort goes through a six-day fermentation process that sees a whopping 24,000 gallons of liquid appear to bake like bread, roil like a contaminated foam party in Ibiza, and overflow like a sentient creature from a 1950s horror film.

Magical tree appears to be invisibly hovering over its tree trunk
Jan 03, 10:16PM
What a fantastic mind trip. This tree appears to be magically hovering over its tree trunk. What kind of sorcery allows this? Art. Daniel Siering and Mario Shu wrapped a tree in a plastic sheet and then painted the sheet to look like the tree's background. The visual effect makes the background look perfectly seamless.

How To Build Your Own Carbonation Rig That Adds Bubbles to Anything
Jan 03, 10:00PM
Look, Sodastreams are great for their convenience and ubiquity, but there are some drawbacks. For starters, you can only use them to carbonate water. On top of that, the cost of the replacement CO2 cartridges (which you need to keep yourself "in bubbles") is higher than it needs to be. We've explored other systems that let you carbonate cocktails, but they're prohibitively expensive and very inconvenient. We knew there had to be a better way.

Da Vinci Ascent Review: A Jack of All Vapes
Jan 03, 9:20PM
The Pax and the Firefly are both fantastic vaporizers, but they suffer from the same shortfall: neither can handle anything other than loose-leaf material. Try to vape a concentrate or essential oil and you'll be spending the rest of your evening de-gooifying your equipment. Not so with Da Vinci's latest portable offering.

These obviously irregular rings are actually perfectly round circles
Jan 03, 9:11PM
Look at these grey circles. They look bent, right? Like somebody put a ring in a vice and squeezed it? Actually, it's just an incredible optical illusion courtesy of @SciencePorn. Both circles are perfectly round. Really. No really.

Jan 03, 9:06PM
The announcement of Blackmagic's $3000 RAW-shooting Cinema Camera in 2012 caused such a stir that not many could have anticipated a followup model, so soon, that was a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the size. The Pocket Cinema Camera continues forging the path of the upstart high-end video camera.

From Seattle's well-known corporate behemoths—Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Costco—to its less-obvious innovators, like Nirvana and Dale Chihuly, a new permanent exhibition funded by Jeff Bezos explores the idea that innovation is a key part of the city's identity. The Bezos Center for Innovation at Seattle's Museum of History and Industry features 5,000 square feet of exhibits which tell a story of science, design, and technology through a sense of place.
