Here in the U.S., it's the last day of a three-day weekend that's synonymous with barbecue. Anyone can try his or her hand at barbecuing; hell, all you need is meat, a grill, and some open sky to sully with fragrant food-smoke. But there's some mouth-wateringly complex science involved in that process, as the folks at It's Okay to Be Smart explain.

Ever try measuring the straight-line distance between two points on Google Maps? You had to hold some object or appendage up to the little scale, then eyeball-measure the distance on your screen. What a mess. No more—a new update puts the task a right-click away. Also, you can doodle with it.

By now, we know that Game of Thrones uses a heavy VFX hand when it comes to building the world of Westeros but it's still amazing how real their visual effects can make it look.

Manchester born, Los Angeles raised artist Joshua Abarbanel’s work makes me feel feelings inside – all kinds of happy feelings. The three-dimensional sculptures are made up of cut wooden forms that are meticulously laid out and layered to form reef-like compositions of complex marine wonderlands. The elements are stained in various tones creating depth just like you’ll see on the ocean floor.

This current body of work, entitled See Life: New Works by Joshua Abarbanel, is on display at the Hinge Parallel Gallery in Culver City, California through July 26, 2014.

Imagine if playing air guitar actually resulted in an audible, stream of guitar music. Well, that’s what AirType is. It’s a keyboard-less keyboard that will change the way we type, especially when it comes to your tablet.

AirType is a set of cuff-like devices that attach to your hands, and makes the letters you want by learning your finger movements. It’s no different than typing on a keyboard. Like your mobile devices, it’s small and easy to transport as well.

AirType is still in development, but you can sign up for their mailing list and learn more here.

Why would you choose a push mower over a gas or electric-driven model? Besides providing a better workout, they're easier to maintain, and easier to store. And in the case of designer Joe McWha's Little Mow, they can actually look more like a piece of modern art than just a lawn care tool.

One must brush the wizardponi at least 12 times a day.
One must be impressed by wizardponi at all times. 
One must laugh at wizardponi's jokes even if they aren't funny.
One must not speak of any other pony who happens to be more powerful than wizardponi.
One must don the sacred robe and wizard hat at all times.
One must sing the sacred melody every night before sleep, melody as follows:


If this sounds like something you can handle, you are welcome to join. Service happens on Tuesday. Weekends are for sleeping in.

Thanks to Benhamin for sending it! Apparently he goes to the place!
