Verse of the Year
I’ve been raving about Inspectah Deck’s verses on “The Champion” for a solid week to my fellow rapper friends and Wu diehards. Deck was my favorite Clansmen until his disappointing LP Uncontrolled Substance came out 2 years late (blame Loud Records and the lift of RZA’s five year dictatorship on Wu-Tang’s recorded output). What’s so remarkable about this song is that Deck unleashed a new rhyme scheme that is challenging to follow as a listener. It’s vintage INS for sure, but also forward-thinking. Deck has never been obtuse with his writtens–he comes from the GZA school of vivid, concise, and descriptive verses dating back to his breakout narrative on “CREAM”.
Artist creates Incredible Mural Paintings using only the Tips of her Fingers
Remember when the highlight of the week was indulging your hand into a big tub of paint and creating some of the finest pieces of artwork imaginable, or at least they were in your 3 year old mind.

Ignoring the puns, check out the pieces that Judith Ann Braun has created below, they are incredible. Via: Judith Ann Braun

Orwellian
"Orwellian" is an adjective describing the situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. It denotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson" – a person whose past existence is expunged from the public record and memory, practised by modern repressive governments. Often, this includes the circumstances depicted in his novels, particularly Nineteen Eighty-Four.[1][verification needed] Nineteen Eighty-Four uses themes from life in the Soviet Union and wartime life in Great Britain as sources for many of its motifs.[2][3] Orwell's ideas about personal freedom and state authority developed when he was a British colonial administrator in Burma.
How Do You Design The Future? Ask Syd Mead
Remember when you were 10 and all the cars you drew could fly, the wheels were bigger than the doors and you thought a robot would be serving you breakfast by the age of 15? Anything was possible. Well, here’s a guy who did all that as a kid and just carried on drawing. Out-there cars, incredible spaceships, lavish buildings, strange new worlds – for over 50 years, Syd Mead has been making our dreams virtual reality. He’s defined our collective vision of what could be in store for us all; if you’ve watched Blade Runner you will have walked a mile in this man’s mind. Ever looked at the bikes from Tron and wondered who first saw them in their head?

Faites votre propre couverture électrique flexible en fibre de carbone
Electric heating blankets aren't hard to find, but the heating element often makes them not very flexible and too small to really get comfortable in. This project, from Instructables user Shenzen, uses carbon fiber heating elements to stay warm, flexible, big enough to curl up in comfortably, and safe. The part of this project that really makes it work are the flexible carbon fiber heating tape used in between the two blankets that Shenzen puts together. The draw on the whole thing is about 40 watts, and the heating tape is designed to heat safely, but if you're really concerned you may want to add some insulating tape as well to keep the temperature down (which will ultimately make the blanket less warm, but it's a give and take.) The full walkthrough is at the link below, complete with the iron-on hem tape used to attach the fiber, the method Shenzen used to wire it all up (using silver conductive glue), and how the finished product looks when you're bundled up in it.
7 World Trade Center
7 World Trade Center is a building in the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is the second building to bear that name and address in that location. The original structure was completed in 1987 and was destroyed in the September 11 attacks. The current building opened in 2006. Both buildings were developed by Larry Silverstein, who holds a ground lease for the site from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The original 7 World Trade Center was 47 stories tall, clad in red exterior masonry, and occupied a trapezoidal footprint.
