'Circular Calendar' is cheap, functional art for your wall
by Aaron Souppouris
Created by German user interface designer Sören Lachnit, the Circular Calendar is an A0 (2.75 x 4 foot) wall poster that focuses on the solar and lunar influences on the yearly calendar, and it's beautiful. Dominated by a representation of the sun's distance from the 50th northern parallel (the latitudinal line that intersects Canada, Germany, France, Russia, and the UK) each month.

Winter Sports drops for Windows 8, instantly becomes the best way for you to check your skiing stats
by Sam Sabri
One of my favorite apps this year has been Winter Ski and Ride for Windows Phone 8 users. It launched in early February and quickly became one of the coolest apps around. It’s an app that tracks various stats when you’re out skiing or snowboarding. You also get snow reports, tracking, and much more. A sister app was released later in the year called Active Fitness – it’s from the team behind Winter, but aimed at general sports and activities. We’ve got the 2013/2014 ski season coming up, which is the perfect time for them to release a Windows 8 version of Winter. Let’s check it out.

Your friends are having a fun time with some trendy new Facebook app and you don't want to be the cranky curmudgeon that complains, but you also don't want to see their posts. What do you do? Block the app of course.

Watch this: The beautiful math behind everyday events
by Aaron Souppouris
Math is everywhere. Every time you drop sugar in your coffee, every time a plane takes to the sky, and every time you roll the dice, there's math to explain what is happening and, often, why. A video from Paris-based artists Yann Pineill and Nicolas Lefaucheux perfectly demonstrates that fact, placing real-world events alongside formulae and graphics to stunning effect.
The video is accompanied by a single quote from the British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell, which reads "mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music."
