In addition to being a rather slow day news-wise, I have been rather busy at work today. Fortunately a few jewels sparkled from underneath the murk of the day’s political propaganda, iPhone malarkey, and other nonsense:
Miniature Working Engines: NYT has an article about the hobbyists who make miniature working internal combustion engines! These are the coolest things ever, like a 1/6 scale working Corvette 327. Yea, get this while its hot! Found on BoingBoing, related to the guy who made the 1/3 scale working Ferrari (video). Check out these links for more information.- Paris Hilton Prison Sketch: who knew, she’s also an artisté! Also from BoingBoing.
Enjoy the articles. I’m off to do a little running and eat supper.
