Yes, I think the title is inaccurate. I think the photographer selected balloons with the shapes he wanted, put them in place, and popped them. The mohawk photos show it best. There's no way a hurled balloon would pop like that.

Anyone who has read the Ender Quintet would probably find this very interesting. Anyone who has not read the series, should. The books are far more thought provoking than the movie that's based on the first book in the series. Put aside the politics of the author. The books are very entertaining and present some fascinating philosophical questions.

Personally, I love the Alamo Drafthouse for its cell phone policy (and for its selling beer policy).

This is very true, and it has been a problem for quite some time. My English teacher in middle school would come to class every day with examples of poor grammar in advertising. She always had plenty of material.

Cities at Night, Minus Light Pollution
Once Thierry Cohen finds an image within his chosen city, this dedicated photographer takes meticulous notes: time, angle, latitude and longitude of the exposure. He then tracks the Earth’s rotation and goes hunting for perfect darkness. What would have been seen above the city’s sky will eventually reappear over a desert—Joshua Tree, Death Valley, the Mojave, Sahara, or Atacama Desert—all places he’s traveled to in order to capture the right sky.

These masks may look like complex woven mats of metal or fabric – and that would be impressive – but the truth is even more astounding. Origami artist Joel Cooper uses a folding method called tessellation to create his elaborate masks out of one piece of paper without cutting or glue.

It's amazing. The conditions are the same in UAE - the majority of the population consists of exploited South Asian migrant workers.

Storm turns lighthouses into a chilling masterpiece
Hollywood set designers make a career out of creating enchanted towers and mythic-looking castles for big-budget fantasy films. But if you visit one of the Great Lakes in the winter, you can often see those special effects in real life without spending a dime.
