Guy Fawkes Mask in Origami

Here I show you how to fold a Guy Fawkes mask, like the one worn by V in "V for Vendetta". You will need 2 things:

1) A square of paper, black on one side, white on the other

2) Intermediate origami skill. I won't be covering that here. I recommend Stephen O'Hanlon's online primer: http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/basics1.html

I apologize for the crude hand-drawn figures. Since I vowed to submit the design while it was still in vogue, I needed to work at such a velocity that the validity of the proportions of this handmade "vector art" and the veracity of its virtual scale are vague.

Ultra short sci-fi stories

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 23:14:25 GMT

clipped by: invictus
clipper's remarks: Wired.news asked sci-fi writers to write a story with just six words.

Clip Source: wired.com

Very Short Stories

We'll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves.

Dozens of our favorite auteurs put their words to paper, and five master graphic designers took them to the drawing board. Sure, Arthur C. Clarke refused to trim his ("God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist."), but the rest are concise masterpieces.

Cricket for Dummies

Sat, 07 Oct 2006 03:03:28 GMT

clipped by: invictus
clipper's remarks:

Both cricket and baseball operate on the same principles. Someone hurling the ball—the pitcher in baseball, the bowler in cricket—is attempting to defeat an opponent wielding a bat to defend a target—the invisible strike zone or the visible wicket—and score runs.

Clip Source: www.smithsonianmagazine.com

Cricket for Dummies

It's a lot like baseball. Except that it's profoundly different.

When I lived in Washington a few years back, my favorite spot in America was Section 336, high above home plate at the Baltimore Orioles' stadium, Camden Yards. My special delight was to take along our English visitors—all baseball virgins, all keen on cricket—and explain the American game by analogy with the English one. I never had a failure. They all grasped baseball, and they all relished it.

Notoriously, this process does not work in reverse. Thousands of Americans have gone to Lord's, cricket's London headquarters, and retreated in bewilderment. The most eloquent was Groucho Marx, who reputedly watched for an hour, and said: "This is great. When does it start?"

ZingFu: Have Fun With Your Photos

clipper's remarks: Select a theme/frame etc, upload your pic and zing it. Here's one I've just created.

Clip Source: www.zingfu.com

These people are famous. You are lonely and weird.

We've pealed back the shiny blue cellophane wrapper.

You know those motivational posters? This is like the opposite of that.

Because you're a poor bastard and can't afford a plane ticket.

Sometimes all your photo needs is a simple, classy title.

Pimp MySpace with custom Zing bling.

We stole this idea from the State Fair. See you on the Tilt-a-Whirl suckers!

All the cool stuff that needs no fancy explanation.

This may be the only way you'll ever be in a photo with someone hot.

Classy framez for your classy pics.
