The Toaster Project
Thomas Thwaites is buiding a toaster from scratch using raw materials and is blogging about it.
Even though this video is a bit long, I was impressed that he was able to smelt iron ore in a microwave.

Tampons Falling From The Sky
A Dutch tampon company dropped a plethora of tampons with parachutes on six different beaches.
It kind of reminds me of those “Tampax Was There” commercials. You would see a real perky energetic girl doing something like dancing or cheerleading, and then the commercials would simply end with “Tampax Was There.”
OK, that’s enough tampon talk.
And for some reason I feel the need to use an Austin Powers quote: There’s only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and . . . the Dutch.

Embedding a YouTube Video May Cost You a Bundle in ASCAP Bills
Fresh off a court victory against Google’s YouTube, ASCAP tells us it is setting its sights on users of the video-sharing site. Welcome to the exciting world of copyright licensing, blogger; you may already owe gobs of money!
ASCAP licenses the performance rights for music, collecting royalties for its songwriter members when their songs are played in certain contexts.
Those contexts now include a YouTube video embedded on your blog or website, assuming your site is not “purely” non-commercial and is deemed large enough by ASCAP.
