Transformation of Pencils

Wrote the artist, "I carve microsculptures on pencil lead, I like to create works of art from pencils."

With 186 YouTube videos that collectively have over one billion views and 1.57 million subscribers, I'd say he's found the sweet spot.

Fair warning: there goes the day.

World Weekly News

Wrote Kevin Kelly:

I don't care what you say, the World Weekly News was an awesome publication.

Like the Men in Black said, you get to hear about alien landings months in advance of any other source.

I subscribed to it for years.

I had it mailed to my office at Wired.

I read it because it had the greatest headlines EVER.

Before the web, it was the the single best portal into wonderful weirdness, obscure insanity, the cultural id, urban legends, and the gestalt of our times.

Now entire decades of its epic awesome back issues are available for free here.

The way we like it.

Fair warning: there goes both the day and your mind.

Mini Knife Keychain

From the website:

A useful and stylish tool that will come in handy for a variety of tasks.

Its small size and convenient design make it easy to carry with you at all times.

Features and Details:

• Stainless steel/brass/iron/emulsion

• 1.6"W x 3.2"L

• O-ring

The big question is, can you take it through airport security? 

No idea.

I'm thinking sometimes it'll be confiscated, other times not noticed.

You pays your money and you takes your chances.

If, like me, the rest of your life is a No-Fly Zone, you're all set.

One more thing: if you look closely at the photos you'll note that a tiny Phillips-head screw secures the blade to a metal shaft integrated into the device,

allowing you to remove the business end.
