Love extreme sports? Well how about a sport that combines rocky gravel and a real hot behind? I love sledding with a snow suit on, but riding down the side of hot volcano that could erupt any minute, well, I'll just leave that to these few crazy people! This video features several individuals volcano boarding with Big Foot hostel down Cerro Negro, near Leon, Nicaragua. Would you do this?

Start The Year with a New Frame On Your Mind

2012-01-06T16:47:00.000-08:00

People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on eyeglasses every year at speciality stores because they have no idea that online stores like Zenni Optical have the same quality glasses, at affordable prices. Personally, I stopped going to speciality stores because I've had so many terrible experiences with the doctors and the quality of the eyeglasses I'm received after examinations. Now you may

Pimp Your Cube and Win $1200

2012-01-06T00:00:00.001-08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I've never had the pleasure of peering across the room, from a horrid cubicle, into the bosses office, which is lined with glass windows and a comfortable, oversized leather chair. I mean, what's up with office spaces these days? They're supposed to be a conducive

Dark Decade of the 60's

2011-12-24T10:41:00.000-08:00

I can’t say I was part of the 60’s, nor do I have a special connection to the historical events. Yet, individuals like my parents lived this decade. According to them, the 60’s were a time of contemplation and global awareness. A time of love and acepptance, and a time when transcendence thru drug use was the only way for people to escape the politics of goverment. There's another side of the

How Recycling and Marine Creatures Don't Mix

2011-12-23T17:15:00.000-08:00

I remember those summers with my grandpa, crabbing the open waters of New Jersey. It was a blast until one of those pesky shellfish crawled out of the bucket and started to chase me. Nevertheless, it helps remind me of better times. Homeless is an animated short film by Yevgeni Krachak, which was created at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. Using a combination of cg and live

Freaky Sleeping Kitten

2011-12-21T21:08:00.000-08:00

One minute you're searching the internet, and the next, your looking into the eyes of a freaky sleeping cat. At first I thought she was stretching, but then I poked her and she woke up. Eek, this is too creepy! I know some people sleep with their eyes wide open, but cats?

Bizarre, Abandoned Thames Sea Forts

These odd structures look to be abodes on the sea, however designer Guy Maunsell had a different use in mind. The Maunsell Sea Forts occupied positions in the Thames and the Mersey estuaries during World War Two. Seven steel platforms, interconnected, carried five guns in a semi-circle. At the

Enrique de Molina's Taxidermy Animal Art

2011-12-15T12:57:00.000-08:00

I've seen the FeeJee Mermaid in person at Ripley's in St. Augustine. In 1842, thousands of gullible onlookers paid 25 cents to see this creature that RT Barnum had coined the "Feejee Mermaid". It wasn't until Barnum grew older that he admitted that his mermaid was the "World's Greatest Fake". A monkey head and a fish fused together. What does this have in common with Enrique de Molina's

Morbid Anatomy Holiday Fair

For those of you more interested in the sinister side of Christmas, you'll love this craft fair. It's Ripley's Believe It or Not and Christmas, with a hint of strange, and a twist of bizarre. The Morbid Anatomy Holiday Fair brings together a load of anthropomorphic taxidermy created by a former Museum of Natural History worker — including beetles playing the piano (what's weird about that?) —

Cells Phones vs Watches: What's the Dominating Christmas Gift?

2011-12-09T19:58:00.000-08:00

When is the last time you bought a new watch? Ok, now when was the last time you downloaded a new app for your iPhone, Smartphone, or Blackberry? Was it an hour ago? Maybe it was last week. No matter how active you are with technology, you have to admit, people's lives are now dominated by their cell phones. But are they personal? Do we all have them because they make a statement? Or are we

Weird Gifts For Christmas

2011-12-08T14:05:00.000-08:00

Christmas time is here and you're probably searching for the perfect, unique gift for your friends and loved ones. I'm always on the lookout for strange gifts that none in their right mind would ever buy for themselves, but can't live without once they have it. Ok, so soaps shaped like baby hands is a tad bit odd, but are they not a conversation starter? These are just one of the many bizarre

Wind Power: the New Decorative Must Have

Most of us can can remember those handmade pinwheels we would blow on to make them spin as children. Well now, Adital Ela, a TED fellow and sustainability designer, has taken the motif of the child's pinwheel toy and turned it into the basis for clean energy lighting.

Art by Offenders

2011-11-28T08:20:00.000-08:00

Art of Offenders prompts a person to think deeply and dream endlessly. The diversity of subjects and the stories the artists tell through their work is positively outstanding. The pieces just seem to draw you in, to demand that you consider them, look at them and think about them. For instance, in Know Your Enemy, the artist commented on the fact that society judges and pigeon-holes people

The landscapes of earth are filled with fossilized organisms which shed light on the evolution of life forms, resulting from the changes in nature.

The Republic of Malta's Incredible Structural History

2011-10-14T12:46:00.000-07:00

Malta has enjoyed a long and varied history that has positioned the islands that make up the republic, as everything from military strongholds, to sites of religious significance, to popular tourist destinations. The home of three of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, an Apostolic See, and one of the most densely populated countries on the planet, Malta is an ideal vacation spot for anyone with an

Beyond Barcelona – the enticing setting for Catalan's jewel

2011-09-08T19:02:00.000-07:00

The Catalan city of Barcelona quite rightly dominates the agenda for any visitor to this north-eastern corner of Spain. After all, Barcelona is a city fashioned by city-lovers, home to some the world's most treasured architectural gems. A traveler to Catalonia could quite easily fill half-a-dozen vacations, just within its gilded districts. But that would be a shame. Barcelona is a city defined
