Andrew Becraft makes amazing Lego figures, so-called “minifigs”. Check out his new series on Flickr, the Lego revolutionaries (or communists). From the left, Mao Zedong, Kim Jong Il, Marx & Engels and Stalin.
Personal DNA
Expect to see quite a few of these on sites and blogs in the days to come: Take the test yourself here. Be honest! And put your result in the comments or make a trackback. According to the test, I’m a “Benevolent Experiencer”. The report said “Your inquisitive nature, imagination, and hands-on practicality make you [...]
Digged
The Amazing circles tutorial was Digged last night. 221 diggs and several thousand hits. For some reason, one of the files controlling the site got messed up, and my site went offline for several hours. It’s back up now, and everything should be working.
How to have comments on sites made with iWeb
If you have the latest iLife ’06 from Apple, you may have started using iWeb to publish your websites. But how do you enable comments on them? Well, you cant. There is no such function. So Chad Brantly made a way to hack this in. Just download his iComment software. It uses Haloscan to keep [...]

300% better hybrid car?
If this is true, it’s very good news. The Idea behind the current crop of Hybrid cars is well known; the cars main energy comes from gasoline which recharges batteries that move the car at low speeds. Hydraulic Hybrids work in the same manner, only instead of batteries, excess energy is stored in hydraulic cylinders.That [...]

Very cool (deleted) 360 picture of New York folded out. And here’s the (deleted) direct link to original size. Update: Removed the links as the user has deleted the pics at Flickr.
Broadcast vCard
I was in a (very interesting) meeting today. And at the end we were doing the usual business card swapping. Since all of us were doing notes on our Macs and PC laptops, this seemed like a bit oldfashioned way of doing it. Yes, we could of course e-mail vCards to each other, but how [...]
Buy a bigger display
Eric Mack wants a bigger display for mindmapping. I have some thoughts on this: I have been using displays of all sizes from 14″ to 30″ the last year. And there is one single rule that works: The bigger the better. I’m sure people will switch to much bigger displays in the years to come. [...]
