This article, "Maxed out: How much can we remember?" by David Robson describes exactly how many digits of pi humans would be able to remember if we weren't so... you know... lazy.
Personally, my record for digits of pi is 621 digits. The numbers in this article make that sound like child's play.

I've been collecting Photoshop tutorials for a while, and these are some of the best I've seen! If you don't have Photoshop, try out the GIMP. it's a free program that's very similar to Photoshop.
Here's my list:
How to draw hand-crafted pixel art
Create a digital camera with wooden accents
Create an ecological fairy tale wallpaper
Create a cartoon car similar to the Cars movie
Create a glass shatter effect
Make an egg planet
Super Easy Typographic Portrait
Design a grunge style portrait
Make an Avatar-style movie poster from your own photo
Create a stock photo orange drink
3D Car tutorial
Create cartoon characters
Defy Gravity
Again, if you don't have Photoshop, never fear!! I highly recommend the GIMP (click it to go to the homepage). It's absolutely free, and the tools in it are almost the same as Photoshop. If you need help learning how to use the GIMP, go to this website.
Have fun!

This new technology is utterly incredible. My jaw dropped upon seeing this.
The SixthSense device consists of a camera, a projector, and a mirror. It's meant to be like a necklace. The data can be projected on any leveled surface!! Pretty. Neat.

"Let’s take a look at what fun we can have going down the thermometer all the way to 0 Kelvin," starts this neat article. As you go down the page, the stuff that occurs happens at temperatures that get lower and lower.

This is a site that I've gone to for years. It's called Drawball. It's "an enormous circle of potential art" that anyone can draw on! You get a limited amount of ink, but then when you spend time away from drawing you slowly get more.

I found this list pretty neat. Turns out there are many ways to get the songs you want, all legally! So if you can't afford your music but you want to stick to the high road, here's a great list.

Brainiac's "Things But Very Slowly" shows various common, and not so common, things on a high speed camera. I particularly enjoy the slap in the face segment.

This may look like a real Space Shuttle at the first sight, but it is actually the result of outstanding LEGO work.
Two Japanese LEGOsmiths used 65,000 LEGO bricks and 1,590 man hours to complete this LEGO Space Shuttle.
It is the world’s largest LEGO space shuttle. It even has a command center and a red countdown button!
