Around the Alphabet in 26 Musical Genres What's the point of being insanely musically gifted if you don't have a little fun with your talents? Music producers Andrew Huang and Dave Brown collaborated to create a song encompassing 26 genres in alphabetical order. The song spans from ambient to zouk, stopping along the way to feature grunge, K-pop, and reggae. The behind-the-scenes video demonstrates the duo's incredible wealth of knowledge about music. Fans of the song have requested full versions of each genre's clip. Homepage image: YouTube, Andrew Huang Riusuke Fukahori Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. I really enjoy the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural. Wonderful.
6 Insane Coincidences You Won't Believe Actually Happened America's Freak Luck During the Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway may be remembered as one of the most spectacular naval battles in history and one of the huge turning points in the Pacific theater, but it started out as a pure clusterfuck for the Americans. Despite going into battle with most of Japan's game plan in their pocket thanks to American codebreakers/Bothan spies, the U.S. Navy had little to show for it in the early hours of June 4, 1942. Where it Gets Weird: There was one squadron of American dive bombers lead by Lieutenant Commander C. His squadron started dropping like flies until, in an act of sheer luck that would make even J.K. Where it Gets Even Weirder: While finding the ships at all was luck, by some kind of ridiculous freak luck McClusky's squadron arrived at the precise moment when all three Japanese carriers were reloading and rearming their aircraft. It'd be like this happening four times, and all in one battle. ...when he wasn't busy being a pimp.

5 Tips for Better Self Portraits Self portraits can be a little intimidating, especially if you need to get a new photo for a certain occasion or deadline. Over the years, I've taken hundreds of self portraits (yikes!) for blog posts, craft projects and to entertain myself, of course! The first thing most people try when taking self portraits is a photo at arms length. Remember, one of the best things about taking self portraits is that you can look at what you have and take more if you want to. Reflective self portraits are really fun to take. Contrary to what some people say, a downward angle isn't the only flattering way to photograph yourself. A couple years ago I tried to do the 365 self portrait challenge where you take one every day for a year. Self portraits can be so much more than a flattering or pretty photo. Have fun playing around!
