EXTREMELY rare desert cheetah finally photographed

Nope, this one isn’t a joke post, though the title may sound like it - this one’s for real.

The highly elusive Saharan Cheetah was photographed by a night-time photo trap which finally paid off after a year of waiting.

Very cool stuff.

Abominable Snow Man next?

(Er… Sorry, Abominable Snow Person - presumably they come in both genders).

 
Even the ambiance of the photograph makes this cat seem mysterious!

FREE LOVE…

craft books!

I repeat: Free Lovecraft books!

(Hey, quit complaining, it’s almost as good as Free Love - Maybe even better, depending on your definition!)

Anyway, the collection has most of his good stuff and is available in PDF, EPub, or Kindle.

Who needs sanity anyway?

 

The most well-known option…


This is from the French version of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward (The picture on the English version wasn’t as cool)


And as the book cover says - many others!

I got to GET me one o’ THESE!

This is one of the coolest ideas ever for a linguist, hacker, maker, puzzle geek!

It has the characters for language, the mod bit for hackers/makers, the Rubic’s Cube part for puzzle people, and the whole thing is massively geek-cool!

That doesn’t even count the printing aspect!

If anyone out there wants to build me one of these - please feel free!

I think I figured it out - all of the spots are moving except the ones you’re looking at…

The REAL surprise about NASA’s “new lifeform”

NASA announced a new type of lifeform dubbed GFAJ-1.

What’s so "different" about them?

Remember the GaTaCA DNA code from school?

The "A" is Adenosine.  It’s part every DNA ever seen. These microbes can exist without phosphorus -

No phosphorus = no adenosine = no "normal" DNA.

But here’s the REAL surprise; have you seen the pictures?

THEY LOOK JUST LIKE PUFFED WHEAT!

CHECK IT OUT!

 
The new ProtoPuffeoWheatius Bacteria - their resemblence to Puffed Wheat is UNCANNY!

Why not try something simpler?

We’ve reviewed desktop wallpaper resources before, usually because they had something unusual to offer over the standard fare. This wallpaper resource certainly has that going for it!

Most wallpaper sites focus on popular themes, exciting visuals, etc. SimpleDesktops.com focuses in the other direction - simple, distraction free desktops that are still pleasing.

Never quite found your perfect desktop? Maybe you’ve been looking in the wrong direction!

 
This one is called "Sneak Peak"


Just some… Guy. In a shirt.


In case you feel the need to have something growing out of the bottom of your monitor.


Kind of blue-print-y… Er… Gray-print-y.
