Internet Randomness

Sunday was a complete write off. I sat around and played some XBox.

I also downloaded the third season of “Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares”. Yes, it is a cooking show, and yes, I am addicted to cooking shows. What’s really sad is that I don’t really know how to cook at all. But at least this cooking show isn’t really about the food, and more about restaurant management. Basically, it’s about a renowned chef who goes around and tries to fix failing restaurants. He swears like a trucker and is totally in your face. It’s great.

This week is also World Environment Awareness week. In the government there’s a competition to see which division is most environmentally friendly by logging sustainable commutes. I’m hoping to help out by logging in a good 200 km’s on my bike for the week.

The biking so far has been going really well, and my butt has adapted to sitting on the seat. Honestly, it’s so rewarding and enjoyable to bike into work, I wish more people would do it.

That’s about all I can blog about for my mundane life at the moment. So I present to you some internet randomness that I found through slashdot:

Rubik’s cubes in 4D and 5D. Apparently a few people have already solved the 5D cubes. I can’t even solve a 3D cube. Try your hand at it:

Also, crazy choreography by using mentos and diet coke: What happens when you add mentos to some diet coke? Well, the mentos removes the surface tension in the coke releasing the carbon in the carboninated goodness. Essentially, if you add some of those mints to a 2 liter bottle you effectively create a diet coke cannon to shoot sweet sweet aspartame into the air. Check out this video:
