The da Vinci method: Shadow strokes @ The Economist … THE Mona Lisa’s lure is so strong that Louvre Museum officials find it wise to keep her safely stowed behind bulletproof glass. She is let out of her protective cage once a year, for a whiff of fresh air.

We wrote about Ray Villafane’s pumpkin carving tutorial several years ago, but it’s worth linking to again.

I have been a user of the ICQ instant messenger for many years now. It was one of the very first instant messengers, and I was one of it’s early users. I never have seen the need to switch to anything else, especially since I almost never use instant messaging at all. Now a recent experience with ICQ has left me wondering if the whole project has been taken over by Russian hackers. I installed the latest version of ICQ to communicate with people on a particular project, then uninstalled it when the project was over. ICQ when installed, hijacked my search provider, and “enhanced” it with it’s own “ICQ search”. Even after uninstalling the product, it left it’s hijacked version of my browser, and no matter how many times I delete it from my search providers, ICQ Search keeps coming back again

Illustrator Christoph Niemann made a not-quite-scientific series of illustrations titled Unpopular Science , which purport to explain how the laws of physics affect our daily life. My favorite is the explanation for why fridges full of food seem so attractive- obviously it is because they have a lot of mass! How many of these ‘forces’ do you experience on a daily basis

I like this concept design from German product designer Konstantin Slawinski that integrates the pieces of the classic three-piece “wooden knot” puzzle into a knife, a fork, and a spoon to make an interlocking set of cutlery. I don’t think there’s a deliberate nod to Bill Cutler (WOTD: “metagrobologist”) going on here, but I kinda wish there were.
