Oh how I wish this didn't sell out so fast. I just might bite the bullet and try to get tickets off Craigslist but paying $70 for something originally $21.50 makes me cringe. But I do love La Roux..
I guess this leaked a couple days early. *edit* Looks like they just deleted the news post off the website, but I managed to save a copy (see below). Wow, such a solid lineup. You do not want to miss this! If I was only able to go to one San Francisco festival this summer and had to choose between this and Outside Lands, Treasure Island would be the easy winner. Even though The Strokes are one of my favorite bands and are headlining OL, I would choose Treasure Island because this line up is j...
Here at WonderHowTo we're overflowing with top-notch origami tutorials. However, when it comes to the lesser known art of kirigami, we could always use a couple more enthusiasts. Kirigami is a form of origami that (unlike origami) involves making intricate cuts, and the results are often incredible.

He looks stronger than almost any other player out there and he's only 25. I won't comment on his looks since I'm not a teenage girl, but this article puts him into context with other American athletes, Kobe, Terrell, A-Rod.
Are you a horrible parent if you let your 4 year old play Grand Theft Auto, a pretty vulgar and violently explicit video game? Nah. Also, your 4 year old won't play like your average 13 year old or even 17 year old. This kid, instead of beating up hookers and going on murderous rampages, drops people off at the hospital, puts out fires, and arrests criminals. Who knew?
Where would we be without science? Not everybody's always fresh as a daisy; try Odegon Technologies' iron-on "Odour Tags". When attached to clothing, the patches capture your odoriferous molecules in a carbon mesh. Somehow the patches don't come off in the wash and run about 18 bucks for a pack of six.
I’m seeing a flood of posts on youth football forums and even getting a few e-mails from youth football coaches complaining about “player agents” also known as parents. Most of these unhappy coaches are dealing with parents that have non-issues, have an agenda, are misinformed, don’t know much about the game of youth football or are just people that gain great pleasure from complaining. The 80/20 rule is more like 95/5 in youth football, 95 percent of the problems are caused by 5 percent of t...
TV newscasters love to run stories about out of control parents fighting at youth sporting events. Here is an example of a story
Colleges Aren't Just for Learning Our favorite bloggers have compiled a fantastic list of the Top Ten Most Legendary College Pranks. Lots of the legendary hoaxes and wacky pranks come from the notorious Pail & Shovel Party.... And the one's that seem more like impossible feats? Well MIT is certainly great at using their genius for laughs.
So as of now June 24th or whenever it is precisely that the new iPhone comes out, we'll likely be in a situation where two of the most popular, talked-about filmmaking tools will be non-traditional video cameras: the new 720p-shooting/cutting Apple Flip-smasher and the Canon 5d. I feel positively old fashioned, a dinosaur, an archaic wreck, stumbling about with my mammoth Canon XH-A1. I can't slip it into my pocket, I can't take the lens off and put a f/1.8 50mm on it and get kabonkers depth ...
French Canadian filmmaker Patrick Boivin's Iron Man parody, featuring his own baby daughter, is absolutely impeccably done. The special effects look FANTASTIC.

To this day, the magnitude of Beatles mania is vast. For much of the world, the fabulous four are downright magical. Here on WonderHowTo we also enjoy the fine art of papercraft. So, why not combine the elaborate practice of paper construction with some good 'ol rock 'n' roll?

Royal College of the Arts student Merel Karhof has come up with an innovative way to harness natural resources: a wind knitting factory. Merel's device is a mechanical wind-powered knitting machine that sustainably produces long tubes of knitted material. Nice. I'd let the wind knit my scarves.
Ford Austin here....with a special report! I just arrived at the 2010 Starfest Convention in Denver, Colorado and I have to say it is AWESOME!

Tonight's screening kicks off the Official 1 year DAHMER V...

Motocross world record holder Robbie Maddison recently jumped a 278 foot wide ravine, 330 feet above the water. More than a little risky, to say the least.

Urban farming has gotten a bit of notice in the past few years. One of the most vocal advocates is local Tara Kolla, who runs Silver Lake Farms out of her home.

A random article from India claims that Johnny Depp is actually more a funderwhacker than just as Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter.

What do you do in those cold weather months, when your hands are warmly gloved and you can't bear exposing your poor fingers to the harsh elements? Apple didn't think of this problem when finessing their iPhone touchscreen, but not to worry, South Korea has the answer to this pesky problem.
The possible harshness of black eyeliner is balanced out with sweet pink eyeshadow. Wash a pink eyeshadow over the lid. Then apply liquid black eyeliner. As liquid eyeliner can be tricky to apply, go over with a black eyeshadow using a flat brush. This will hide any mistakes, and add further emphasis to the eye. Mascara and a creamy pink blush finish off the look. Watch this video beauty tutorial and learn how to create a classic pink eyeshadow and black eyeliner makeup look. Create a pink ey...
This video demonstrates how to pocket the object ball (in this case, the 8 ball), by letting the cue ball deflect off two rails. It is necessary for the cue ball to follow the imaginary parallel lines leading from these rails to the object ball. This shot is useful for when traditional shot lines are blocked. Make a kick shot using the 2 rail parallel line method.
