Road to nowhere

Discrimi-Nav GPS system
Now, I don’t have a GPS but I’ve seen them on TV. (And Lord knows I could use one.) Here's a fake commercial for one such device -- and I think you'll know where they're going with this when you start watching -- that helps you avoid those "marginal" neighborhoods. Marginally funny, but definitely at least a little equal-opportunity offensive. (Thanks Bomser)

Two-for-one cubed
An impressive achievement in double-fisting the cube, Dan Dzoan, world champion at one-handed Rubik's Cube-ism, solves two at once in under 45 seconds. Geek chic, fo' sho'.

Slow Exposure
Check these still shots of moving subjects where the photographer captures the movement as blur rather than freezing it. The dreamy atmosphere makes for some good art.

Organic music
Worldwide and one of a kind, the Vegetable Orchestra makes music with edible instruments. Turnip the volume -- this one's in the key of squash flat.
