High ResolutionThat’s No Moon…
Created by Timo Jousimo
Note from artist: Witness the power of this fully operational teaball!
Yes, it’s a tea infuser made in the shape of the Death Star. It features two domes, one with the dish for the death ray. Also a simple interlocking mechanism for opening and closing and a bit over thousand 1 mm holes drilled all around it. Diameter is 50 mm, so it’s good for whole pot of tea.
Crafted entirely from 925 silver sheet metal (plus the chain).
WANT.

Happy Birthday, Max Planck!
It’s the birthday of Max Planck, who was born in 1858 in Kiel, Germany. As a student he was advised against going into physics because, said his professor, “in this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few holes.” Decades later, he did more than fill in a hole. By applying Ludwig Boltzmann’s statistical approach to thermodynamics and assuming that radiation is emitted in discrete quanta, he could account for the entire black body spectrum
(x)
this guy is plain cool! yes, he’s THAT Planck. the one who made a constant (h; in E=hc/λ) and one of the founders of quantum mechanics (and its theories—if anyone’s still interested, LOL). happy belated birthday, Sir! (FYI his birthday is on April 23)

Saw this picture on imgur and just had to post it here, because this is without a doubt, one of the most badass women alive. Meet Katrina Hodge, a corporal in the British Army and Miss England 2009. According to Wikipedia, she enlisted back in 2004 after her brother challenged her to and earned the nickname “Combat Barbie” after showing up at her assigned unit wearing false eyelashes, kitten heels (whatever those are) and carry a pink suitcase. In 2005 her unit, the Royal Anglian Regiment, was deployed to Iraq, where she saved the lives of her comrades from a prisoner by wrestling not one, but two rifles from him and then knocking his ass out with her bare hands.
With her bare hands.
Then in 2009, she decided to compete in the Miss England competition to destroy stereotypes about women in the military. She didn’t win (she placed runner-up), but still became Miss England after the woman who did got into a fight and gave up the crown. While Miss England, Hodge convinced the people running the competition to ditch the bikini contest, because she felt that it was more important to be a role model than looking good in a bikini.
In 2010, she handed over the crown and returned to military service, being deployed to Afghanistan.
This woman is both a BAMF and a HBIC. Damn.

Habib Rizieq: Sebuah Wawancara, Sebuah Kesimpulan
Wah, ga nyangka banget. Sebulan yang lalu rasanya waktu H-1 sidang skripsi, animo masyarakat tentang isu FPI ga setinggi sekarang. Sekarang kayanya hampir semua tweet didedikasikan buat merayakan kebencian kita terhadap kekerasan FPI hahaha. Surprise, surprise.
Saya mau bikin graffiti arab…

Sang Penari.
sudah lama sekali rasanya saya tidak menonton film bagus berlatar belakang kebudayaan Indonesia. namun ‘kutukan’ itu nampaknya berakhir juga. karena hari ini (errrr.. kemarin sih :p), bertepatan dengan Hari Pahlawan, juga menjadi hari rilisnya film Sang Penari yang diadaptasi dari trilogi novel romansa klasik karya Ahmad Tohari berjudul Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk, Lintang Kemukus Dini Hari, dan Jentera Bianglala. untuk sinopsis filmnya bisa langsung dilihat di websitenya saja ya hehehe.
photo courtesy of http://sang-penari.tumblr.com/film yang disutradarai oleh Ifa Isfansyah ini menurut saya benar-benar epic! mampu menyajikan suasana klasik dan membawa jiwa penonton untuk ikut kembali ke masa itu. figur seorang ronggeng gemulai dan anggun dari Dukuh Paruk ditampilkan oleh sesosok Srintil (Prisia Nasution) yang dengan magisnya dapat memukau setiap pandangan melalui tariannya. sementara Rasus (Oka Antara), cinta sejati Srintil, dikisahkan sebagai seorang pemuda kampung yang teguh sekaligus bisa menarik simpati penonton hanya dari gestur dan tatapan matanya yang sendu. konflik antar tokoh dan hubungannya dengan sejarah lahirnya orde baru di Indonesia pada masa itu membangun sebuah kisah yang dipenuhi dengan karakter-karakter yang benar-benar “hidup” dan sarat akan permainan kekuasaan. semuanya membekas di hati. bahkan kehadiran para pemain figurannya pun mencuri perhatian dan menciptakan persepsi karakter tersendiri, selaras dengan era dimana film ini dikisahkan. secara visual, Sang Penari sungguh memanjakan mata. sinematografi yang dikemas apik oleh Yadi Sugandi dapat memberikan makna dalam tiap adegannya, memperkuat jalan cerita yang memang diciptakan untuk mengaduk-aduk emosi penonton dan menggiringnya hingga akhir yang memancing banyak perenungan dan…. WOW.
enough said.
sudah lama saya tidak menonton film bagus berlatar belakang kebudayaan Indonesia,
sudah lama saya tidak terhanyut sebegitu dalam ketika menonton sebuah film,
sudah lama saya tidak menangis di bioskop ketika suatu film telah usai ditonton,
dan Sang Penari menjawab semuanya.magis, romantis, pilu, and beautifully done.

High Resolutionfor one of the most adorable woman in history whom had been honored with not one—but two—nobel prizes, the founder of radium and polonium elements,and the only woman to be honored with interment in the Panthéon on her own merits, shall we say, a reverent “happy 144th birthday” and a solemn prayer, really. for you , Marie Skłodowska–Curie.
