Nike Designer Says Marty McFly's Power Laces Are Coming Next Year
Feb 15, 7:00PM
If there was one disappointment about Nike's awesome Back to the Future II Air Mag, it's that the shoes didn't have Marty's power laces (and that they only made 1,500 and neither you nor I own a pair). But Nike designer Tinker Hatfield says that's about to change—power laces are coming in 2015. The future is here!

Dear Superman: Don't Spin Earth Backwards, You'll Break Everything
Feb 15, 4:00PM
Remember how Christopher Reeve's Superman spun the earth backward to go back in time and save Lois? Turns out, he probably shouldn't have done that, because slowing the earth's rotation to a stop would seriously mess up everything on our planet, as Earth Unplugged explains. Not cool, Superman.

Feb 15, 3:00PM

Emoticons Are Reshaping Our Brains, We Now Process :-) As A Human Face
Feb 15, 2:00PM
When we first broached the Great Smiley Debate a few weeks ago, the question was whether or not a dash-as-nose was appropriate, necessary, or a bastardization of the simple purity of two dots paired with a gentle curve.

Is a perfectly symmetrical face actually the most beautiful?
Feb 15, 4:16AM
Beauty is in symmetry. Symmetry is beautiful. Or something like that. But what if that's not true? Photographer Alex John Beck played around with the idea of facial symmetry by creating perfectly symmetrical composite images of people's faces in his photography series Both Sides Of. You'll see two faces in the pictures here, one face is the the left half of a person's face mirrored and the other is the right side. They're both symmetrical. They're not always beautiful.

This guy basically destroys all laws of physics and gravity
Feb 15, 3:00AM
You know those genius, almost sentient quadcopters that can learn new skills like juggle balls, fly in tandem, work together, go through hoops, attach themselves to wall and basically do things that will eventually destroy mankind? This guy, Kai Hou, is like the human equivalent of those. He's an acrobatic master that can flip, spin, jump, turn, tumble through the air and do basically anything that shreds our typical sense of gravity. I wish I could jump like him.

The hilarious differences between video games and real life
Feb 15, 1:10AM
If only video games were real life, right? Caffeine could be ditched for super star power ups, quests would be fun to do and rewarding as opposed to simply job saving and you wouldn't have to worry about budgeting because you would buy everything since it's so easy to make money. Ah, video game life has it so good!

It's hard to know where to begin describing artist Jan Manski's brutal new show forthcoming at London's BREESE LITTLE gallery. Called "Possesia" and opening to the public on February 26, it's a surreal and over the top look at "archaic instruments" turned into end-of-the-world machinery used by some unnamed conquering force of the future.
