Masking tape and storytelling! Calcium pills and Scandinavian gods! Stop signs and distant relatives.

Mini-Matchstick Gun
...can also launch toothpicks "to skewer innocent fruits". And don't get any other ideas! (By [King of Random], via Hackaday)
3D Printed Sugar

MIT Academics Design Book That Lets Readers Feel the Protagonist's Pain
I can see the potential, but please don't make me read horror stories! (Via Designboom)
Cuboino by FELIX HEIBECK

Closed Friday, April 21st.

Fun fact: The Friday before Easter used to be just like any other day of the week. But then they ('they' who? THE GREAT THEY, THAT'S WHO) decided that no, this Friday should be set apart from all the other Fridays of the year. So they tried attaching different names. First was Bad Friday, which […]
