SpY, the same street artist who brought us this matrix of CCTV cameras , recently finished a new piece in Lausanne, Switzerland. By hanging a giant glowing moon in the first quarter—a waxing crescent—from an industrial crane, he gave a construction site its own celestial body. [SpY]

May 11, 8:23PM

May 11, 8:00PM
Job got you checking work emails even on your day off? Nostalgic for the pre-smartphone era? "When you left the office, you left work behind," you muse, wistfully. Quit fooling yourself: 25 years ago, the sportscar-driving business boss couldn't afford to be out of touch—as evidenced by this fax-machine-equipped Isuzu 4200R concept car from 1989.

May 11, 7:30PM
The 964-foot-long MSC Magnifica isn't just a luxurious, $550 million cruise ship. It's the world's first 4,500 passenger musical instrument, and it rocked a slow, loooouuud rendition of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" at this weekend's 825th Hamburg Port Anniversary in Germany. Talk about rocking the boat.

May 11, 7:00PM

May 11, 6:38PM
In honor of the women from whence we came, SNL aired an absolutely perfect Mother's Day Game Show skit last night. But of all the mom-related jokes, none hit quite as close to home as 'Which of These Emails Did I Send You?'. The winning answer? Fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: all of them.
Make Like Wile E. Coyote With These Adorable Firecracker Lamps
May 11, 6:30PM
Wile E. Coyote never had much luck with the ACME Corporation's seemingly infinite supply of wacky wares ; poor guy couldn't catch a break. If you are and always have been on Team Road Runner, these Firecracker Lamps are like a cheery, fully-functional update on this ol' classic clunker.

May 11, 5:30PM

How to Calculate Pi with a Shotgun
May 11, 5:00PM
We all know pi , at least the first three digits of it. If for some reason you forgot them though, there's good news. All you need to get that knowledge back is some aluminum foil, ingenuity, and a shotgun.

May 11, 4:54PM
The Global Positioning System constellation of satellites has been helping lost travelers find their way for a while now, but they only really started showing up in cars in the mid- to late- 1990s, and in big numbers even later than that. But the first automotive navigation system was offered over thirty years ago.

May 11, 4:20PM

May 11, 3:30PM
Today marks the first day of service for Denver's brand new downtown bus and rail concourse built in front of the old Beaux Arts Union Station. The concourse officially opened to public view on Friday in a ceremony featuring U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx. Designed by SOM, the station is part of a much larger plan to develop what the architects call "an urban transit district that orchestrates light rail, commuter and intercity rail, bicycle and bus routes, and pedestrian pathways."

May 11, 3:00PM
The most famous coal seam fire smolders underneath Centralia, Pennsylvania, but thousands of such underground fires burn all over the world. In the American West, where subterranean coal still burn, ancient conflagrations created the red-inflected landscape we see today.
We've Thrown Microscopic Plastic Confetti Into Every Last Inch of Ocean
May 11, 2:00PM
The guys from One Minute Science are back with a particularly grim explainer this weekend: Why just about every cubic foot of ocean is embedded with tiny bits of plastic. You've heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, right? This is on a different scale—it's even less visible, and just as insidious.
A Glimpse Of How We'll Use Our Land In 2051
May 11, 1:00PM
It's the year 2051. Welcome to a view of the American landscape. Urban areas have swollen with people. Range and pasturelands have shrunk. There's a bit more forest than there was back in 2014, a result of economic incentives driving more timber production. These are a few of the predictions of a new study on how people will use privately held U.S. lands in coming decades.

In Defense of GIFs in Science Writing
May 11, 12:00AM
University of Oxford PhD student Andrew Bissette recently published a diatribe against the Internet's favorite form of looping media, arguing that science writers should not use GIFs to explain science. He's wrong. His heart is in the right place. His argument is even halfway sound. But he's wrong.

May 10, 11:00PM
A lone report in China's state-run Beijing Times claims the nation is already in discussions to build an 8,000+ mile railroad connecting China, Russia, Canada, and the U.S.—including a 125 mile undersea tunnel spanning the Bering Strait. Forget taking this with a grain of salt, you're gonna need the whole shaker.
Is this the perfect Asian-inspired burger? Yes, yes it is
May 10, 10:39PM
Behold the delicious Bao-ser's Castle Burger, a hot steamy bao bun filled with a "square, onion soup-braised (and seared) beef tongue patty, nested with green onion slices, quick pickle cucumber, cilantro, grilled pork belly, and a hoisin mayonnaise." The only way this thing could be more awesome is if someone were stuffing two of them in my mouth right now.

May 10, 10:00PM
When you think of Disney animation, you probably envision cartoons drawn either by hand or computer. You probably don't think of little light-up robots that zip around a tabletop to make dot-matrix designs. But that's exactly what Disney Research came up with in Display Swarm, a research project that makes an animated display out of mini robotic pixels.

May 10, 8:37PM
Geek.com seems to have spotted an experimental new web Gmail layout that replaces the left-side control panel with a slide-in menu, uses pins instead of stars, and adds a "reminder" feature—all within a heavily-redesigned layout. No word if this test setup will ever roll out to users. [Geek.com]
