Do you remember your own phone number? With all the modern technology that we enjoy these days, we barely use our brains for the basic retention of information. Can you remember your schedule without using your Blackberry or PDA? How about your friends’ email addresses?

I don’t use an electric organiser for my appointments, so at least I still use the grey matter from time to time.

Look at this pic for a while; in which direction is she spinning?

–

Some people will see her spinning in a clockwise direction, while others will see her spinning counter-clockwise. And if you stare at her for long enough (and focus on a particular part of her body) she might even change direction. And apparently it’s not a trick. Different people watching her on the same screen will see her changing direction at different times. (more…)

Is Google becoming a God? It’s the god of the internet at least.

Sex, draft beer, nightclub, chicken wings… Is this all that men think about? (via Bestweekever)

Get creative with post-it notes, they’re good for more than just making notes.

Only the girl in the blue/white striped top, methinks.

I found this video when I was trying to find out if there was a video by the singer whose track is featured (Colette). I bought her album on itunes last night, it’s boogielicious.
