It's easy to deconstruct how they might have created all the effects, but that still didn't stop me from saying "how'd they do that?" It was usually followed by a pause and then an "...oh yeah...cool..."

Blue and Green
Courtesy of the TED Blog, this optical illusion is quite incredible.
The green and blue spirals are, amazingly, actually the same green color. Really. The larger pink spiral is actually made up of both pink and orange stripes, causing the brain to get confused and see the green+pink combination as blue.
Don't believe me? Take your fingers and cover up the think pink stripes on either side of a blue stripe and watch the magic. It really makes one wonder what other things your brain takes for "truth" are in fact completely wrong.
Update: Posterous seems to be modifying the image just enough to "break" the effect. Check out the original post at Discover to see the original, unedited image.

Check out that swelling! Either a sprain, or my thumb is pregnant.

And I'm still not finished, either
I am starting to realize that if you want me to quickly complete a simple home project, best to keep me away from heavy machinery.

Yeah, I could do that
Danny MacAskill -- who no doubt adopted his nom de guerre after landing on his chopper's banana seat a bit too hard -- has truly mad bike skills. Parkour on a bicycle.
