To use the computer, we need a mouse and a keyboard. To paint a picture, we need a paintbrush. To cook dishes, we need kitchen utensils. We don’t just need our hands, we should utilize the tools with them to do our jobs.

Just like this new one coming from Apple, which is the iPhone stylus. A touch screen would always come to a time when it needs its partner back—the stylus. It has a felt tip, too and the feeling of using your own finger is one of its features. However, there are pros and cons in the development of this light pen.
You see, the argument is not about the stylus itself, but the purpose of the iPhone. One of the outstanding features of the iPhone is its liquid crystal display designed exclusively for bare skin. No more having to “pointy-pointy” at the screen with this little thing you always have to place where you can easily get it when you need it again. So if it was made simply for your fingers, why make one?
There is actually a point in making the stylus for the iPhone. Ever had such a sweaty hand that whatever you touch just felt like wiping it with grease? You wouldn’t want to worry yourself for around 30 minutes a day trying to clean the ‘oil’ from your touchscreen, and then 5 minutes later you’d be texting again. Or you might be this type of person who grows nails and don’t want to tap them on the touchscreen, which serves the purpose of the stylus.

Attention to all authentic booklovers! You might be overlooking this if you simply just crease your book pages with a dog-ear fold to keep track of the last page you’ve read, or place in sticky notes that (eventually) tear up the surface of the page you stuck it to, or putting the old-fashioned bookmarks in between the pages.

Designers Jung-Hyun Lee, Won Sik-Chae & Rhea Jeong have created a sweetly simple but unique way to mark your book called Abracadabra. It is an air-filled tiny container divided into two, half of it flattened by the book’s weight. If you squeeze the other half, it inflates the hidden half inside the book, making it easier to open the page to where it was marked.
Well, to most readers who are lazy enough to put these things in between their book’s pages, they might still consider it for the cutesy and the coolness of the idea.

If you think that whatever happens to the universe some twenty billion light years away from our solar systerm could not be possibly seen by the naked eye, you better think again. Early morning of March 19, 2008 a satellite named Swift had discovered a great burst of light from that distance which was so bright that one would not even need gadgets to help his eyes see that light. These light bursts are called Gamma-ray bursts (or GRBs). These are deaths of stars, but fortunately these powerful explosions happen in galaxies billions of lightyears away, so they appear just like a faint light. But this news is different, because the explosion was so large that it took only the naked eye for human to see it.

Usually the Swift satellite records only two gamma ray bursts in a week, and for the first time they have found five GRBs in just one day. The release of energy meant the forming of a black hole from a dead star. Because of such an exceptional event, investigators from the Swift have been monitoring and exploring these Gamma-Ray Bursts.

Would it be a good thing if there was a certain number of apathetic people who just keep on drinking and drinking from cans and then throw their trash just anywhere they want to? It might come in handy if there’s also the same number of resourceful people just like Paul Villinski who does not only care about the environment, but also creates from it a unique masterpiece.

Using found beer cans in New York, Villinski manually clips them in precise, artistic ways and in various shapes and sizes and dangles thems suspended with wires for them to move around. The concept of recycling beer cans was so creative that it was not just about simply cutting away, but making it look as magical and original.

There are a lots of ways to recycle paper, which could vary from one to another, but in beer cans there are just a few, and this one has been more than just recycling—it’s art in its own sense.
