Yikes. It seems like we've been sorely neglecting our Wednesday Cool Link duties over the past month. Let's fix that, shall we? Here's our latest selection of neat-o internet thingers.

Miya Ando’s installation of 1000 bioluminescent floating leaves This is stunningly gorgeous. Miya has taken phosphorescence-coated leaves and set them adrift in a pond. The photos are pretty captivating. |

Re-visualizing Newton’s Cradle - Asobi by Yasutoki Kariya This artist has taken the classic Newton's Cradle and recreated it using... Lightbulbs? Seems like it's asking for broken glass everywhere, but the end result is surprisingly awesome. |
Must... stop... watching... animated gif...
