First of all, what the hell is ‘Large Hadron Collider‘? That’s a 27km tube-laboratory for generating mini black holes, uncovering new dimensions, explaining the Big Bang and, well, you name it :) The experiment will start in two weeks, so don’t miss this rap song that popularly explains the experiment of Large Hadron Collider

Don’t miss this demo video of Pendulum’s AlterEgo software- it’s really so cool!

All those conspiracy theories are invented by Sci-Fi authors or homeless madmen. There is simply no place for such in our real world that spins around democracy and humanism.
However, my mind started to change after watching The Real News Network for several hours in a row- it was rather a ‘cold shower’ experience.
Are you ready for a professional and rather painful vivisection of the modern world? I mean, believing everything we see or hear would be the most unwise, but to view events from a different angle is always healthy.
The great white shark looks line an anchovy in comparison to now extinct super shark- Megalodon. They were 16 m long, weighted 100 tones and they bite with a force of of between 10.8 to 18.2 tonnes. The funniest point here is their “diet”- whales and seals :D
At last, my childhood dream will get a little chance! :) The first space tourism jet Virgin Galactic is unveiled and will go for testing in few months. The bad news is that we have only 18 months to save £100,000 for the ticket :)
Surprisingly, the first geisha were actually men. Known as the Taikomochi, these men, like their later female counterparts, were expert musicians, dancers and amusing story-tellers who liked to touch upon taboo subjects. This lesser-known tradition still exists but there are now only a handful of Taikomochi still working in Japan. <…>
Modern geisha still live in traditional houses known as okiya which are situated in areas called hanamachi or ‘flower towns.’ Even more alluring is the name given to the refined, high culture world that geishas live in - this is known as karyukai or ‘flower and willow world.’ <…>
The way of the geisha has been invaluable in keeping alive centuries-old traditions. Dance, music, literature and even dress codes have been handed down directly from generation to generation in an unbroken line for over 500 years and, as such, have remained authentic and relatively unchanged. Sadly, these ‘keepers of the arts’ are dwindling in numbers; only a handful of girls apply to become maikos each year now and even fewer make it all the way through training to become fully-fledged geishas.
Yesterday I was asked to contribute some of my art photos to MadAtoms.com- that’s how I learned about “the place where nobodies create the content”. Though, the list of the contributing artists is pretty impressive and the content’s quite crazy (writings, films performances, other arts). But I’m warning you- it’s something totally opposite to “classical” & “straight forward”, so, obviously, it would be difficult to recommend it for everyone :)
So, yeah, I contributed :)
