Fun Friday
Most of you have played Minesweeper before, I’m sure, but have you thought about what the classic game would be like if it were turned into a movie? The crew over at CollegeHumor got their creative juices flowing when they came up with Minesweeper: The Movie. It puts a whole new spin on the classic game, and I must admit, it’s funny. Even if you don’t like Minesweeper, I think you’ll laugh. My favorite lines out of the whole thing are “Why are you really here?” And the answer? “Because I am bored.” I know I’ve turned to Minesweeper when I’m bored, and many of you probably have too.

But, in second place is “Mario Live and on Stage.” With this one, it’s the creativity that went into acting out a video game on stage with props that made it worth mentioning. It’s one of the most creative things I’ve seen in a while and if anything, it’ll bring back memories of your favorite classic Mario Brothers Games.:)
Thanks for the tip Nate!

Starting in 1977 with Star Wars and moving all the way until last year with Gravity, this video covers all the Academy Awards winners for best visual effects. It’s a wonderful walk through movie history and revealing to see how much more realistic movies have gotten through fake computer generated effects.

In the days before Home Depot paint departments, people slathered color onto their walls the old fashioned way: using a mixture of pigment, lime, and milk. Now, one Northern California farm is reviving this ancient tradition with the help of its resident goat herds.

Chips with graphene inside are theoretically quicker than plain silicon designs, but they’ve been slow in practice; the manufacturing process often damages the graphene, stripping away its speed advantage. That won’t be a big problem with IBM’s …
Making a big SUV that satisfies every driver is difficult. Do you make it sporty, or edgy, or aim for super-comfort, or as capacious as possible, or some combination of … Continue reading

Muji might no longer be that minimalist Japanese brand none of your friends know about, but that doesn’t make its products any less cool. And if you’ve been holding off on buying a Bluetooth speaker until you found one that was less on the garish side, your hunt is over.
