Amazing Snow Art
How long these magnificent geometric forms survive is completely dependent on the weather. Beck designs and redesigns the patterns as new snow falls, sometimes unable to finish a piece due to significant overnight accumulations. Interestingly enough, he said, 'The main reason for making them was because I can no longer run properly due to problems with my feet, so plodding about on level snow is the least painful way of getting exercise. Gradually, the reason has become photographing them, and I am considering buying a better camera.” Spectacular art for the sake of exercise!

Google's Camera Glasses
Google Goggles could soon become a set of physical goggles if murmurings from within the company are true. Could this be the death knell for smart phones?
According to a New York Times report, several unnamed Google employees have reiterated that these "Google glasses" will be hitting the market by the end of the year and will retail between $250-600. Purportedly under development at the Google X Labs, they're said to be Android-based (obviously), work on both 3G and 4G networks, and include a suite of sensory equipment.
According to reports from 9 to 5 Google, they'll likely resemble the Oakley Thumps. The glasses are also expected to include a built-in low-resolution camera that could be employed in object and location identification. This would allow the glasses to overlay pertinent information about your surroundings—though there's are a bevy of privacy implications to be hashed out with everybody wearing, and potentially recording, everyone around them. "You will be able to check in to locations with your friends through the glasses," one Google employee added.
On the software side, the glasses will reportedly work with a large number of Google's services—including the Google cloud, Latitude, Goggles, and Maps—while displaying the information in a Heads-Up Display.
Navigation will be unique, to say the least. According to 9 to 5 Google's Seth Weintraub, "The navigation system currently used is a head tilting to scroll and click. We are told it is very quick to learn and once the user is adept at navigation, it becomes second nature and almost indistinguishable to outside users."
The glasses are apparently not designed for constant wear.
So, I can take a picture of exactly what I can see? Hmmm.

Mike Mondays: The Move
"The Move" as it has become known, is Michael Jordan at his absolute best. This play happened in the 4th quarter of Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers. It was also Michael Jordan's 13th consecutive made basket of the night.
But the best part of the clip are the reactions to "The Move" from Phil Jackson and Scott Williams.

Monkey Attacks Man. Sort Of.
Here's the back story:
This is at the cafe inside the Memphis Zoo. The manager of the cafe told me that the alpha male monkey noticed me the second I walked in the door and started going crazy, because, as the alpha male, he feels threatened by tall males. So she told me to go stand by the window and turn my back on him and that he would "attack" me.

Vice asks the question: Was Whitney murdered? Their answer is yes, as a blood sacrifice for Jay-Z and Beyonce's baby girl, Blue Ivy, so that she could inherit Whitney's voice. Yep.
Below is a video detailing it. The full link to the article is below. They're reaching pretty hard for this.

NHL Player Gets His Throat Slit
I just stumbled across this brutal video of Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk having his neck slashed by an opponent's skate. It slices open his carotid artery and brings him within minutes of his own death.
The trainer who rushes out to the goalie basically saves the goalies life by jamming a towel into the cut, and pinching the artery shut. The hole in his neck was so big that the trainers fist fit in it. The goalie survived with several hundred stitches and now sports a scar from just behind his right ear, down to the front of his windpipe.
Thank god they didn't have HD TVs back in 1989.
