21 Year Old "Cathedral of Junk" Dismantled After Neighbours Complain

Image credit: royalconstantinesociety on Flickr Austin used to be funky; as the Wall Street Journal notes, “For decades a college town with abundant cheap housing, Austin was a magnet for hippies, slackers and musicians looking for a care-free existence. They livened up the city with their music, art and festivals.” It also attracted artists like Vince Hannemann who 21 years ago started building a sixty-ton structure out of hundreds of bikes, mattresses, compact disks and other junk. It b… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: Wikimedia Commons Hunted for their eggs and value on the traditional medicine market, Batagur baska , the mangrove terrapin has been driven as close to extinction as can be imagined. Only 20 known individuals remain—including those in captivity.

Total Football 2010 : While the old-school adage for sports viewing has historically been “bigger is better,” this year’s World Cup proves size matters…but not in the traditional sense.

The Gossip Girl Pun Index: Wedding Bell Blues

Since the kids on Gossip Girl are too young to get married — but not too young to own hotels or work in the fashion industry — the traditional wedding episode that you’d expect to see in the third season of a series fell to the likes of Dorota the maid and her boyfriend, Vanya the doorman. And while their “bedding” — as Vanya called it in his best John Malkovich-in- Rounders accent — was adorable, it was like a daisy growing out of a garbage heap. For the rest of the characters, last night’s Gossip Girl , “The Unblairable Lightness of Being,” offered the usual array of lying, cheating, back-stabbing and even a little heartbreak (say it ain’t so, Blair and Chuck!).

Mila Kunis Does GQ

I love Mila Kunis and always will, I can even look past the fact that she’s still with that kid from Home Alone , so put her in a cowboy hat and some slutty outfits and I’m all over it. Here she is in the latest issue of GQ magazine looking like the kind of woman I could marry if I had money, a real job and wasn’t obsessed with celebrity boobs. Although, her celebrity boobs would probably fill my needs for at least the next ten years. After that who knows, but I’m pretty sure implants are the traditional tenth anniversary gift anyway so it should be fine. Enjoy.

Snow Leopard’s Grand Central Dispatch

The heart of the matter is that the trick to actually utilizing the full power of multiple processors—or multiple cores within a processor, like the Core 2 Duo you've probably got in your computer if you bought in the last two years—is processing things in parallel. That is, doing lots of stuff side by side.
