Heating a lump of nickle and dropping it on a block of ice (56 seconds).
Throwing a frisbee off a mountain (37 seconds).

Public Enemy - EVERYTHING [OFFICIAL VIDEO] (by publicenemy)
PE still putting out good stuff. This great video reminds us rap doesn’t have to be about chasing materialism.
Nice. Real nice.

The world is a foul and meaningless place full of pimps and mutant wolves. And who isn’t fucked up and miserable about that fact? People with hobbies. It’s as though by finding something you love and climbing all up in it until it’s so tight around you that you can barely breathe, the misery can’t squeeze its way in. Maybe I’m oversimplifying it. Or maybe people with hobbies are as morbid as the rest of us but we only ever see their weirdly contented exteriors.
— Model Trains and the Secret of HappinessThe Case for a 25-Hour Work Week, I’m a sucker for these “do the work week different” articles. Tacitly related: Defeating Busy by @brettharned.

Some nice nostalgia art: The Hobbit, The Blues Brothers, and Homer’s brain.
Mashups for the People, not neccisarily good, but neccisary in that “I wonder what Marvin Gaye and Slayer would sound like together” way.
A knee story, I read this a couple of weeks ago and think of it every time I go running.

And we did some peaking inside this old place.

In addition to the bottle, some old bones were laying about.

My son and I went for a hike today and saw this bottle buried in the frozen mud. Just the tip was sticking out. It must have been partially uncovered by all the rain we’ve had recently.
We dug it out, brought it home and washed it up. The only writing I see on it is the 1/10 pint. Any clues as to when it’s from would be much appreciated.

Admiral Richard Byrd’s “Little America III” station, built in Antarctic in 1940, was spotted by a Navy icebreaker sticking out of the side of this floating iceberg in the Antarctic’s Ross Sea, on March 13, 1963. The old outpost was buried beneath 25 feet of snow, 300 miles away from its original location. A helicopter pilot flew in close and reported cans and supplies still stacked neatly on shelves.
