Beautiful Nesting Knives Designed by Mathematics
Instead of actually designing a set of knives to match their individual purposes, designer Mia Schmallenbach turned to math to tell her what shape they should be. The beautiful Meeting set is the result of drawing a diagram based on the Fibonacci sequence and almost literally joining the dots.

Also, the price is OVER 900 (dollars, that is)!

Fresh sheets are here, but at the cost of your dignity!
Alternate title: showing off your feminine side? I will see your pink shirt and raise you a flower-ridden flat sheet.
People call those things “flat sheets”, right? The piece of linen that goes between you and the quilt? To provide extra warmth in the cold winter months? To give you that extra layer to keep the warm air from escaping? To construe really long sentences (or in this case, a paragraph of questioning statements) which serve no purpose other than comic relief and simultaneously a demonstration of the writers’ prowess?Jun 4, 2010

Stuck a random 6 digit number into Wolfram Alpha to see if it was a prime number; it was.
Chances of sticking a random 6 digit number into Wolfram Alpha (on a
whim*, mind you), and having it turn out to be a prime number?
prime numbers. Divide that by the total number of 6-digit numbers,
(which is, I believe, 1000000-100000), and you get something like
7.6562% chance. Not bad, eh? * somewhat related, there’s a Fallout 3 quest that requires you to
either calculate prime numbers, or read the walkthrough. I know Google
Calc can do something similar, but I punched “prime x” (where x is a
number) into Wolfram Alpha, and lo and behold, it told me that number
was a prime. Later that night, I decided to punch a random 6 digit
prime number in – and voilá, you get the screenshot above.

Splurged.
Had to replace my Griffin Tunebuds Mobile with something, and these were next on my list.
Initial impressions: sound is now much clearer, most likely due to the dual driver design. The only thing that worries me now? Losing those damn silcone bits to go into your ear, and cord wear and tear down the track – but I suppose the same could be said for any pair of in-ears. Reason I didn’t buy these before? Inline volume controls. My iPhone 3G doesn’t support it, but there’s this new iPhone coming out, right…
