  Cold as F*ck

  -15º is what you feel here outside today when the wind is blowing on your cheeks. An opportunity to show you these photo’s of snowflakes by Kenneth Libbrecht who recently won the Lennart Nilsson Award.

  After seeing these, you cannot deny any longer that the world is designed.

  (Tack älskling!)

  Did You Notice A Sign In Front Of My House Saying Living Data Storage?

  It could all be true in the nearby future.

  Chinese researchers found a way to create a living data storage system in the DNA of bacteria:

  “A single gram of E. coli cells could hold up to 900,000 gigabytes (or 900 terabytes) of data, meaning these bacteria have almost 500 times the storage capacity of a top of the line commercial hard drive”

  Told it once and I’m telling it again: everything is programmed. Ninininininini.

  One Hundred and Eight

  An installation by Nils Völker.

  At first I thought he’d put glue in the bags and there were Brazilian street kids behind them. But then I discovered they’re cooling fans.

  R.I.P. Mr. Fractal

  Benoit Mandlebrot has died.

  For the ones knowing fractals only as early acid house VJ material, I put up a video where the good man himself explains the form. Also because I really cannot explain it myself.

  And big is small. Classic scientific footage that reminds you how huge and tiny you are at the same time.
