Here’s this months list of things: * The internet is big, and Google is making it accessable. Watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNliOm9NtCM) to find out how.. they’re backing up the internet. * A bonsai, underwater (http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2012/12/18/underwater-bonsai/) no description necessary. * China is famous for its copycat industry, but how does it work? (http://www.policymic.com/articles/24330/inside-china-s-copycat-communities?utm_content=bufferc3745&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer) * A parasitic bookshelf (http://www.ex-t.com/designers/projects/clipshelf) attaches itself to other objects and stores books. * I played a lot of riddles as a kid, and here are some on a higher level (http://www.mindcipher.com/) , they’re way more challenging! * Sticky’s always turn out to small, the solution: Bigger pads (http://www.post-it.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/PostItNA/Home/Products/?N=5927993+4327&rt=r3) . * The next time I’m looking for furniture.. you might be interested in glitch (http://www.fratelliboffi.it/mobile/) . * I got interested in this because I experienced it at least once, and so did you. It’s called autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) (http://mindhacks.com/2013/05/13/the-unnamed-feeling-named-asmr/) . * The Settlers of Catan is a much played game, but why isn’t it formatted in a sphere (http://www.instructables.com/id/Globefarers-of-Catan/) ? This tutorial explains how to make your own. * The Internet of Things is growing, if you’re looking for a complete list, find it here (http://iotlist.co/) , fitted on a globe just like the game above. * Did you know the earth (or at least it tectonic plates) makes sounds? (http://gizmodo.com/listening-for-the-earths-heartbeat-inside-the-worlds-1493928170) * Walking after dinner (http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/24/really-the-claim-taking-a-walk-after-a-meal-aids-digestion/) has benefits for digestion. Even scientific research proves it. * And lastly, I’m leaving you with a more philosophical post about the future, where’s my rocketpack? (http://www.getsaga.com/blog/wheres-my-rocketpack/)
