Pierced Eyeglasses 
Anybody who's ever worn glasses and knows what a bridge piercing is, has probably contemplated combining the two at some point in time. The difference with James and Oliver is that they got their fingers out and did it. For a prototype, the end result is quite a nifty and practical item — via Warren Ellis Opinions of the Wolf, 2006-12-04 04:47:34

Nano-Lectures at the University of Tasmania
Not so very long after the Ig Nobel event at the University of Tasmania, students there engaged in a nano-lecture competition. Wayne Goninon reports that The idea was that students would describe their school in seven words: Agricultural Science: We take cows and make 'em better Aquaculture: Red fish, blue fish, breeding new fish Architecture: The unholy union of art and engineering Chemistry: Too much acid, explosives and stinky stuff Computing: Coffee and pizza make for happy coding Earth Sciences: Geology is not geography, you cretaceous cretin! Engineering: Bridges are good but beer is better Geography & Environmental Science: Geography is not geology, cabbage for brains! Maths & Physics: Evaluating pi — Galactic nuclei — why oh why? Plant Science: It's okay officer, it's for scientific use Psychology: It's all about getting a girlfriend, mate! Zoology: We know who heads the food chain The Engineering entry is frighteningly accurateOpinions of the Wolf, 2006-12-04 04:47:34

More 2005 Colour Forecasting
Just a quick link, I'm working half days as I am doing some life drawing classes in the mornings this week. I waltz into work at 2pm and there's a tonne of work sitting in my email. Sigh! I like Adam Polselli's 2005 Color Forecast. I love the purple palette, we can only hope that designers choose purple this year.Opinions of the Wolf, 2006-12-04 04:47:34

Bill Gates
Ah, geek love in sensible trousers. It probably says more about the weirdness of Teen Beat magazine than anything, but someone has dug up a 1983 photo spread the magazine did on then up and coming Bill Gates. I'm left wondering what they were thinking with the poses. Is this some strange 80s teen equivalent of the naked girl draped over a car? Note the Mac behind him in the first shot.Opinions of the Wolf, 2006-12-04 04:47:34

CSS Zen Garden Gets Unwanted Contribution
Have a look at this terrifying restyling of the original CSS Zen Garden markup. It's 100% standards-compliant, but in the vein of a Geocities site circa 1997. The goggles do nothing!Opinions of the Wolf, 2006-12-04 04:47:34
